Answer:
The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?
A. Simple diffusion.
B.<u> Facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. Coupled transport.
D. Active transport.
You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:
i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.
ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.
iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.
iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.
The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:
A. simple diffusion.
<u>B. facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. active transport.
D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.
Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.
Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.
This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.
Answer:
Adenine nucleotides are added to the end of the RNA strand, forming a tail.
Answer:
Mutation- A change in genetic structure of a organism is called as mutation.
It can be inherited to offspring if it is <em>germline or germinal mutation</em> , <em>mutation that occurs in germ cells like sperm and ovum.</em>
Explanation:
Each of the genes of a child is the copy of his parents, one from mother and one from father. Any kind of changes or mutation in any genes of them can be inherited to child
<em>Mutations caused by environmental factors can not transferred to next generation. Mutation caused by UV radiation, smoking, sunlight are non inheritable..</em>
