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.

Which gene determines what letter is used to represent a pair of traits?
Alex

Answer:

The dominant gene determines what letter is used to represent a pair of letters.

Explanation:

Example: If brown eyes are dominant (B) and blue eyes are recessive (b) then...

BB means: Brown

Bb: still means brown because there is still a dominant gene

bB: still means brown because there is still a dominant gene

bb: means blue, no dominant gene

While reviewing a chart, a notation of 4 edema in the left leg is noted. You would expect to see: Select one:
icang [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The biological Edema refers to the swelling of any portion of the body which could be small or large. The swelling is caused when the fluid from the blood vessel is leaked to the nearby tissue which causes the redness also.

Edema is assessed by measuring the depth of the pit formed by swelling in which 4+ edema shows that the edema is very deep pitted (6-8mm) which could last for 2-5 minutes.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Water exits the leaves of plants and enters the atmosphere. What is this process called
blondinia [14]
The process of water exiting out of the leaves of the plants and that enters to the atmosphere thereafter is called transpiration. Transpiration is the plant version of respiration of animals. Through water cycle, water is absorbed to the atmosphere then brought back to the earth through precipitation
