Chapter 7, Problem 6TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in a different form and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another form. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as the immediate “energy currency” of the cell and it is continually produced from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate through

- © Macmillan Learning A outside → Ainside, is 10.9 kJ/mol at 25°C. Consider a uniport system where a carrier protein transports an uncharged substance A across a cell membrane. Suppose that at a certain ratio of [A] inside to [A] outside, the AG for the transport of substance A from outside the cell to the inside, What is the ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside? [A]inside [A] outside -81.28 Incorrect Answer Choose the true statement about the transport of A under the conditions described. Decreasing the concentration of the uniport protein in the membrane will cause AG to become a smaller positive number. Because AG is positive, the ratio [A] inside/[A] outside must be less than one. Increasing [A] outside will cause AG for movement of Aoutside to Ainside to become a larger positive number. Movement of Ainside to Aoutside will be spontaneous.
