(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The concentration gradient of protons across the epithelial membrane.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The free energy change associated with the secretion of 1 mole of protons into gastric juice at 37°C.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: If proton transport can be driven by ATP hydrolysis at the ratio of one molecule of ATP per protein transported.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The membrane potential that would be required to prevent proton to move back into the cell.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

There is a species of eagle, which lives in a tropical forest in Brazil. The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous. How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?
