WHAT IF? → If you place a teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of a glass of water, it will dissolve completely over time. Left longer, eventually the water will disappear and the sugar crystals will reappear. Explain these observations in terms of entropy.

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.

- Figure 6.8 Look at each of the processes shown, and decide if it is endergonic or exergonic. In each case, does enthalpy increase or decrease, and does entropy increase or decrease?arrow_forwardImagine an elaborate ant farm with tunnels and passageways through the sand where ants live in a large community.

- Explain why entropy increases when a lipid bilayer forms from phospholipid molecules.arrow_forwardMany compounds taste sweet to humans. Sweet taste results when a molecule binds to the sweet receptor, one type of taste receptor, on the surface of certain tongue cells. The stronger the binding, the lower the concentration required to saturate the receptor and the sweeter a givenconcentration of that substance tastes. The standard free-energy change, ΔG°, of the binding reaction between a sweet molecule and a sweet receptor can be measured in kilojoules or kilocalories per mole.Sweet taste can be quantified in units of “molar relative sweetness” (MRS), a measure that compares the sweetness of a substance to the sweetness of sucrose. For example, saccharin has an MRS of 161; this means that saccharin is 161 times sweeter than sucrose. In practical terms, this is measured by asking human subjects to compare the sweetness ofsolutions containing different concentrations of each compound. Sucrose and saccharin taste equally sweet when sucrose is at a concentration 161 times higher than…arrow_forwardExplain this concept: "Most biological reactions occur between pH 6.5 and pH 8.0."arrow_forward

A student combines 0.1 mol of Mg (s) with 0.2 mol of HCI (ag) and monitors the amount of Mg (s) as the reaction proceeds. The student conducts the experiment once with a single chunk of Mg (s) and once with Mg (s) pellets. Assuming that the mass of Mg (s) is plotted for both experiments, which curve represents the mass of Mg (s) for the experiment that uses Mg (s) pellets? Curve A, because the reaction rate is faster when the surface area increases. B Curve B, because the reaction rate is slower when the surface area decreases. Curve C, because the reaction rate is slower when the surface area decreases. D Curve D, because the reaction rate is faster when the surface area increases.arrow_forward
