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.

According to the text, what is the most important prenatal phase of development for organ formation
snow_tiger [21]
<span>The embryonic period is the most important phase of development for organ formation. The embryonic period in humans begins at the moment of fertilization and continues until the end of the tenth week of gestation. Rapid growth and differentiation occurs during this period, which produces varied cell types.</span>

Many new reproductive strategies developed during the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates. Which statement identifies one of th
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

One of the reproductive strategies of terrestrial vertebrates is <u>the ability of fertilized eggs to develop away from the body of water.</u>

<em>Water is very important for fertilization in aquatic organisms and one of the biggest challenges posed by migrating to the terrestrial environment is desiccation of the eggs. Terrestrial vertebrates are able to overcome these challenges by making fertilization of eggs internal and the ability of the fertilized eggs to develop away from the body of water.</em>

The correct option is D.

Even though lipids and carbohydrates are made from the same elements (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), why is it easy to tell them
Irina-Kira [14]
Lipids contain more energy that carbohydrates because they contain more carbon to hydrogen bonds to release energy when broken.

<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.<span>
