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

glucose?

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.

How does random fertilization add to the genetic variation?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>Random fertilization adds to the genetic variation thanks to B)Fusion of sperm and ovum, each having a unique combination of chromosomes, introduces further variation. Fertilization is a process of fusion of sperm and ovum. In a random fertilization, it is expected that sperm and ovum each have a unique combination of chromosomes. Thus, the created zygote will have a unique combination of chromosomes which introduces variation.</span>

All plants have a life cycle that consists of two distinct forms that differ in size and the number of chromosomes per cell. In flowering plants, the

A hibiscus flower, showing anthers, five stigmas, and pollen.

large, familiar form that consists of roots, shoots, leaves, and reproductive structures (flowers and fruit) is diploid and is called the sporophyte. The sporophyte produces haploid microscopic gametophytes that are dependent on tissues produced by the flower. The reproductive cycle of a flowering plant is the regular, usually seasonal, cycling back and forth from sporophyte to gametophyte.

The flower produces two kinds of gametophytes, male and female. The female gametophyte arises from a cell within the ovule , a small structure within the ovary of the flower. The ovary is a larger structure within the flower that contains and protects usually many ovules. Flowering plants are unique in that their ovules are entirely enclosed in the ovary. The ovary itself is part of a larger structure called the carpel, which consists of the stigma, style, and ovary. Each ovule is attached to ovary tissue by a stalk called the funicle. The point of attachment of the funicle to the ovary is called the placenta.

As the flower develops from a bud, a cell within an ovule called the archespore enlarges to form an embryo-sac mother cell (EMC). The EMC divides by meiosis to produce four megaspores. In this process the number of chromosomes is reduced from two sets in the EMC to one set in the megaspores, making the megaspores haploid. Three of the four megaspores degenerate and disappear, while the fourth divides mitotically three times to produce eight haploid cells. These cells together constitute the female gametophyte, called the embryo sac.
