- Which observation would suggest that active transport, rather than passive diffusion, is responsible for moving a particular substance from the outside of a cell into a cell? a. a higher concentration of the substance outside the cell than inside the cell. b. a higher concentration of the substance inside the cell than outside the cell. c. a positive correlation between ATP breakdown and the amount of substance taken in. d. b and c are both correct.arrow_forwardIf the concentration of a solute is the same both inside and outside the cell, what might you expect with regard to its transport by a membrane protein? A. Since there is no concentration gradient, no transport either in or out of the cell is possible. B. The transport protein has been saturated. C. The solute must be phosphorylated with a phosphate group from ATP before further transport can occur. D. Movement of the solute across the membrane could occur and cause accumulated on one side of the membrane by an active transport protein. The concerted model of allosteric regulation is different from the sequential model, because: A. The concerted model is used to explain homotropic effects B. The sequential model is used to explain heterotropic effects C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardHow does ATP relate to membrane transport?a. The movement of a substance down its concentration gradientthrough transport proteins requires the hydrolysis of ATP.b. The higher the concentration of ATP in the cell, the more permeablethe membrane is to water and small, nonpolar molecules.d. A cell uses the energy in ATP to transport substances against theirconcentration gradient.c. Digestion produces a high concentration of ATP outside the cell,and the ATP enters the cell via facilitated diffusion.arrow_forward

They mediate facilitated diffusion.arrow_forwardHow do small fat-soluble molecules normally get into a cell? a. they never get in b. the pass through specialized proteins in the cell membrane called aquaporins c. they bind to protein carriers d. they pass through membrane protein channels e.

- Why should it not be surprising that for many cells water requires a protein for its transport across a membrane? A. There is never a concentration gradient for water across the membrane to drive its transport. B. The transport protein is needed to prevent the hydrolysis of the phospholipid chains as water crosses the membrane. C. Water is very polar which inhibits its free diffusion across the membrane. D. All molecules require transport proteins to cross a membrane. In the mitochondria phosphate ion (PO43-) and H+ are transported together from the intermembrane space into the matrix. Which statement applies? A. The interior of the transport protein must be uncharged. B. The transport protein must have a relatively large central channel to accommodate both ions. C. The transport protein is a symport. D. All of the abovearrow_forwardWhat is the name of the mechanism that ensures that there is a higher concen- tration of sodium ions in the extracellular fluid than in the intracellular fluid? A. Facilitated diffusion B. The sodium-potassium pump C. Secondary active transport D. Osmosisarrow_forwardCholera affects millions of people around the world. It causes diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and even death. Cholera toxin affects a chloride transporter that secretes chloride ion into the lumen of the small intestine. How does cholera toxin lead to dehydration? A. The toxin turns off the transporter, so the negatively charged chloride pushes water into the lumen. B. The toxin turns off the transporter, and water follows the ion due to osmosis. C. The toxin turns on the transporter and water is actively transported with the ion. D. The toxin turns off the transporter and water is no longer exchange for the chloride ion.arrow_forward
