Answer:
Sodium-Potassium pumps (proteins that help neurons generate electricity) are produced by ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Explanation:
Sodium-Potassium Pump (NA+/K+):
The Na+/K+ Pump is a transmembrane channel protein, responsible for maintaining the concentration gradient of sodium and potassium ions in the intra and extracellular environment. This is achieve by pumping 3 Na+ outside and 2 K+ inside the cell at the cost of one ATP. In neurons, these channels help in generating an action potential across the cell membrane that gives rise to a nerve impulse.
Production of Transmembrane proteins:
All membranes and their proteins are produced by the ribosomes on the rough ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains the enzymes required for lipid synthesis; and as cell membranes are made of lipids, the ER is the most suitable location for synthesis. Membrane proteins, particularly, transmembrane proteins like the Na+/K+ pump possess hydrophobic surfaces that don't dissolve in the cytoplasm but readily attach to the ER surface from where they can be transported wherever required.
Answer:
The given statement is True.
Explanation:
Scala media has endolymph as its constituent and endolymph is rich in Potassium ions (K+)
whereas
Scala tympani and scala vestibuli has in its composition Perilymph and Perilymph has sodium ions as their major constituent ions.
Therefore, scala media is Potassium ion rich while scala tympani and vestibuli are sodium ion rich.
The answer is A because the heart pumps blood from the heart through pulmonary artery that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide concentration, to the lungs.
