A rapid mechanism is thought to govern the localization of AQP5 in response to changes in extracellular osmolarity. If this mech

anism is independent of both PKA activity and S156 phosphorylation, which of the following will most likely be observed?
(A) HEK cells exposed to the most hypertonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
(C) HEK cells exposed to the most isotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Answer:

(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.

Explanation:

The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.  

Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.

Answer:

Skin is the human body's largest organ.

Which two natural resources will be most affected as people try to meet the growing demand for food?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

water and land

Explanation:

I assume this is an open-ended question, so you could make an argument for lots of things, but these are the two most important ones in my opinion. The amount of freshwater on Earth is pretty small, only about 2.5%, and most of that is locked in ice. As the demand for food grows, the demand for water for crops and livestock also grows. This is in addition to the increase in water that is needed for a growing population. Climate change increases this problem because of drought. The second most important resource that will be affected is land. If we need more food, we also need space to grow crops and raise livestock. The available space is also reduced because people need places to live and we need to be able to grow trees for wood to build houses and other buildings. I argue that land and water will be the most in-demand commodities as the population continues to increase.
