Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 9TYU
FOCUS ON EVOLUTION
Paramecium and other unicellular eukaryotes that live in hypotonic environments have cell membranes that limit water uptake, while those living in isotonic environments have membranes that are more permeable to water. Describe what water regulation adaptations might have evolved in unicellular eukaryotes in hypertonic habitats such as the Great Salt Lake and in habitats with changing salt concentration.

One advantage of being multicellular is that the organism can increase insize. Unicellular organisms cannot achieve this large size. What limitsunicellular growth? How do multicellular animals solve this problem?

Passive transport *
Is when an ion flows down a gradient to enter or exit a cell
Does not require energy
Is facilitated by ATP
Can use ion channels
If a cell is hypotonic *
it could shrivel up
it is at equilibrium
it could swell and burst
all of the above
What does hypertonic mean? *

Axons need a growth factor in order to grow
Secondary active transport is when a solute moves against its gradient and that
movement is powered by ATP
You can couple passive transport with active transport in order to move a solute
against its gradient
Thermal vents were the likely the source of energy for the origin of life
F Neurons that innervate the limb are never born if the limb isn't there

- 3 Diagram A below illustrates schematically a classic experiment designed to test the chemi- osmotic hypothesis. Phospholipid vesicles were made to contain beef heart mitochondrial ATP syn- thase and bacteriorhodopsin, a light driven proton pump isolated from Halobacterium holobium. Under light illumination, proton translocation by bacteriorhodopsin results in ATP synthesis when ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are added to the suspension of vesicles.
