What experiment demonstrated the function of proteins that allow diffusion facilitated?

Biology

denpristay [2]3 years ago
5 0

The experiment by Peter Agre who discovered the protein Aquaporin demonstrated the function of proteins that allow facilitated diffusion of water.

Explanation:

Aquaporins are water channel proteins that facilitated diffusion of water. Agre was able to prove its function when a frog’s oocytes showed increased water permeability when an unknown protein (membranous) from the RBCs was introduced into them. The oocytes without proteins did not facilitate water diffusion.  

Aquaporins are membranous proteins that belong to larger intrinsic proteins but act as pores on the cellular membranes to facilitate water diffusion.

What does it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change?
kaheart [24]

Alright, so mass is a property of a physical body. During physical changes, such as acceleration, force, etc, the mass stays the same since we are not affecting its physical shape, just where it is physics wise. So yeah mass is conserved during a physical change.


(This is very confusing I'm bad at explaining things sorry)

When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, its plasma membrane will change until it reaches a membrane potential of about 40 mV.
grandymaker [24]

Answer: It is approximately the membrane potential at which the electrochemical gradient for Na+ is zero.

Explanation:

The charge in plasma membrane occurs with diffusion and electric fields.

For example, if there are two solutions, let's assume solution X and Solution Y are separated by a porous barrier (to diffuse in equal proportions).

The fundamental principle of diffusion states that solution from a high concentration diffuses to a lower concentration.

For instance, if the X solution contains 40 sodium ions and 40 chloride ions, the Y solution only has 30 sodium and 30 chloride ions. Due to the diffusion, these two solutions will mix and reach a steady-state.

The like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.

The immediate energy system (ATP-PC) relies on:
swat32

Answer:

c. the high-energy phosphates stored in muscle cells

Explanation:

Phosphocreatine (PC) or creatine phosphate is a compound rich in energy. It has energy stored in it which can be used to phosphorylate ADP into ATP. The phosphocreatine is stored in muscle cells when muscles are not working. The produced ATP serves as an energy source for muscle contraction. The creatine produced during ATP production is phosphorylated again into PC using ATP when muscles are resting.
