Why does aquaporin (aqua1) transport h2o orders of magnitude faster across the erythrocyte plasma membrane than glut1 transports

glucose?
Biology
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]2 years ago
6 0

Aquaporin (AQUA1) transport H₂O orders of magnitude faster across the erythrocyte plasma membrane than GLUT1 transports glucose because: AQUA1 does not undergo any conformational change while transporting water molecules whereas GLUT1 does and therefore has lesser Vmax.

Aquaporin is a transmembrane protein that transports water molecules across the membrane. These are the passive channel proteins, thus they do not have to undergo any conformational change while transporting the molecules.

GLUT1 is a glucose transporter that is a carrier protein performing facilitated transport. It can be abundantly found in RBCs and brain tissues. Since it is facilitated transport, the glucose is transported down its concentration gradient.

How do naturalist explain order,design and function in the biosphere
erik [133]

Naturalists represent the idea that only natural laws (physical laws) are the rules that govern the structure and behavior of the natural universe. This means that everything can be explained in terms of natural causes. Naturalism is the belief that all that exists material matter, that there is no such thing as soul and that individuals have no purpose in life.
