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

glucose?
Biology

ahrayia [7]2 years ago

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.

asambeis [7]

The question is incomplete as it lacks multiple options. The options are as follows:

Notify the primary healthcare provider

Check the chest tube for patency

Inspect the incision for bleeding

Auscultate the left lung

Answer:

Auscultate the left lung

Explanation:

Pneumonectomy may be defined as the surgical procedure of the removal of lung or its part. The pneumonectomy is mainly performed in case of the lung tumors.

The auscultation is the procedure of listening different sounds of the hear and lungs. The auscultation is important as after the surgery the airway obstruction might occur and may also cause the trachea deviation. The proper lung sound do not require any medical procedure but abnormal sound require emergency medical procedure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
