Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Alpha-1

Explanation:

Adrenergic receptors are the integral proteins present in the postsynaptic plasma membranes. These receptors are activated when the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and the hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine bind to them. The alpha 1 adrenergic receptors are found in the smooth muscle fibers of blood vessels that serve the salivary glands, skin, and kidneys. These receptors are also found in the radial muscle of iris of the eye as well as in the sphincter muscles of the stomach and urinary bladder.

They exert excitatory effect and lead to contraction of smooth muscles of the blood vessels, dilation of pupil, and closure of sphincters of the bladder.

If ATP breakdown (hydrolysis) is inhibited, which of the following types of movement across cell membranes is also inhibited?
Len [333]

Answer:

d) passage of a solute against its concentration gradient

Explanation:

When a solute is transported against its concentration gradient, the cells use metabolic energy. To move a substance from the region of its lower concentration to that of its higher concentration, the energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized. These types of transport mechanisms are called active transports. If ATP hydrolysis is inhibited in a cell, it would not be able to perform the uphill movement of solutes due to the lack of any source of energy to drive the process.
