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.

podryga [215]

Answer:

Heterozygosity

Explanation:

The correct term that could explain the phenomenon is heterozygosity.

<u>In heterozygous condition, a gene is made up of two different alleles in which one would be dominant and the other would be recessive. </u>

<em>In heterozygous purple plants in which the alternate color is white, the white color is not expressed because its allele is in a recessive state. If two heterozygous plants are mated, the recessive allele in each plant would combine into some of the offspring, resulting in the production of white color progeny in addition to the dominant purple color progeny.</em>

Let us assume that the purple color allele is P and the white color is p.

   Pp    x    Pp

 PP  Pp  Pp  pp

PP and Pp - purple color

pp - white color.
