Answer:

The correct answer is:  on the side of the membrane that has a higher concentration of the cargo molecule immediately after a phosphate has been added to the carrier protein.

Explanation:

  • A Carrier protein can be defined as an integral membrane protein that spans across the plasma membrane and is responsible for transporting molecules against the gradient of their concentration.
  • A Carrier protein operates in the following manner:
  1. In the unphosphorylated state, the carrier protein remains open to that side of the plasma membrane which has a low concentration of the solute molecules.
  2. It binds to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which causes it to bind to the solute molecules by increasing its affinity towards the solute molecules.
  3. This is followed by the phosphorylation of the carrier protein with a kinase enzyme using the bound ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
  4. This causes the carrier protein to have a conformational alteration that makes it open towards that side of the plasma membrane where the concentration of solute molecules is high.
  5. The phosphorylated form of the carrier protein has a low affinity towards the solute molecules and so it releases the solute molecules in that side of the membrane where the concentration of solute molecules is high.
  6. The phosphate group from the carrier protein is removed by a phosphatase.
  7. Now, the de-phosphorylated carrier protein again comes back to its original conformation and faces that side of the plasma membrane where the concentration of solute molecules is low.

Starting from the mouth, describe the pathway that takes through the digestive system
bonufazy [111]
Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.

Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.

Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.

Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.

Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.

Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.

What is the genotype for red hair?
Basile [38]

The genetics of red hair appear to be associated with the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), which is found on chromosome 16. Eighty percent of redheads have an MC1R gene variant.

Plant cells have mitochondria, which use glucose to produce ATP. Where does the glucose originate?
Romashka [77]

Plant produces glucose in the chloroplast through the process of photosynthesis. Calvin cycle is basically the biological process through which glucose is produced. The steps involved are as follows:

1. Absorbed CO2 is added to RuBP and 6C sugar is formed.

2. Breaking of 6C sugar into two  3-phosphoglycerate molecules

3. ATP gives phosphate group  to form 3-phosphoglycerate which is later on converted into 1,3-biphosphoglycerate.

4. Electons are required by 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to an aldehyde called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or G3P and these electrons are donated by NADPH

5. Enzyme aldolase uses two molecules of G3P to produce 6 C sugar called  fructose-1,6-biphosphate which is further converted to fructose-6-phosphate

6. Enzyme  isomerase converts fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate
