7. In cotransport (indirect active transport) (a) a uniporter moves a solute across a membrane against its concentration gradient (b) the move of one solute down its concentration gradient provides energy for transport of some other solute up its concentration gradient (c) a channel protein moves ions by facilitated diffusion (d) osmosis powers the movement of ions against their concentration gradient (e) sodium is directly transported in one direction, and potassium is indirectly transported in the same direction

What appears to be the effect of inserting a protein channel into the membrane on the movement of molecules across the membrane? 11. Is the inner surface (facing the channel) of the embedded protein likely to be polar or nonpolar in the examples shown in Model 4? Is the exterior surface (facing the fatty acid chains of the phospholipids) of the embedded protein likely to be polar or nonpolar? Explain your reasoning. When a membrane protein assists in the passive transport of molecules across a barrier in the direction down their concentration gradient (from high concentration to low concentration) it is called facilitated diffusion. Transport proteins may also be involved in active transport where the cell uses energy from…arrow_forwardHello, please can you help with this question?

- Are symporters and antiporters always involved in active transport? Can't both solutes move in the same direction and be moving down their concentration gradient (and the same with antiporters)?arrow_forwardPart 1: If a gated channel (not a pump) is specific for potassium ions and based on what you know about concentration gradients, when will the potassium ions move through the channel? a) Is gated channel transport using energy (ATP)? Part 2: Why does the sodium - potassium pump need to use energy (ATP)? a) Define active transport in your own words.arrow_forwardYou are viewing two samples of mammalian red blood cells (erythrocytes) under a microscope. One first sample is made up of cells with a typical round shape. Most of the cells in the second sample had burst open. •Describe the properties of the solution that was used to prepare the second sample. • Identify one type of solute that can move through simple diffusion and does not affect osmotic pressure or require a membrane protein to cross a plasma membrane.arrow_forward
- Determine the type of transport. Here are your options:Simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, primary activetransport, secondary active transport1. A hydrophobic molecule is moving through the membrane2. K+ moving against its gradient (low to high) through the sodiumpotassium pump3. Water moving through the cell membrane4. A solute moving down its gradient through a carrier proteinarrow_forwardFor this practice problem, would the answer be c)NaCl? My reasoning behind this is because molecules under 100 Da can use simple diffusion, while nonpolar molecules and larger molecules like benzene can use channels via facilitated diffusion. However, NaCl dissociates into ions and cannot readily use diffusion?arrow_forwardThe distinctive properties of facilitated diffusion are: (a) Increase the speed of diffusion of substances (b) Transport of substances towards increasing concentration Additional energy consumption for transport (c) Transfer of substance involving carriers (d) Integration flux of substance and ion transport (e)arrow_forward
- Q11arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are correct? Explain your answers. The plasma membrane is highly impermeable to all charged molecules. Channels have specific binding pockets for the solute molecules they allow to pass. Transporters allow solutes to cross a membrane at much faster rates than do channels. Certain H+ pumps are fueled by light energy. The plasma membrane of many animal cells contains open K+ channels, yet the K+ concentration in the cytosol is much higher than outside the cell. A symport would function as an antiport if its orientation in the membrane were reversed (i.e., if the portion of the molecule normally exposed to the cytosol faced the outside of the cell instead). The membrane potential of an axon temporarily becomes more negative when an action potential excites it.arrow_forwardMatch the transport mechanisms with their descriptions.
