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.

slavikrds [6]

The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.

There are two types of reactions:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.

2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.

The diagram below shows four coastline locations on Earth with respect to the moon at a given time.
WINSTONCH [101]
The answer is both A and C. The coastlines that ideally experience high tides are places that are much nearer or opposite against the moon. The reason behind this is that the moon has its own gravitational field that pulls the earth towards itself. This makes high tides or low tides. Basically, there are two high tides and two low tides occuring at the same time. This is due to the varying forces that the moon does depending on the water's position on earth.
