Answer:

A G- protein

Explanation:

G proteins are molecules involved in signal transduction. They are often referred to as guanine nucleotide binding proteins. They bind to signal molecules at the exterior of the cell and are responsible for transmitting the signals from the exterior of a cell to the inside of the cell, which then results to a cellular response. G proteins are generally activated by a set of trans-membrane receptors called G protein coupled receptors and then deactivated by a set of proteins called the Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS proteins). In regulation, G proteins bind to GTP when they are active, but bind to GDP when they are inactive.

Describe passive transport using the words concentration and concentration gradient

dsp73

Passive transport is a movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes through concentration gradients without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and osmosis.

Eukaryotic cells are 10-100 times the size of prokaryotic cells. how do eukaryotic cells resolve the surface area to volume limi

Katarina [22]

The surface area of a cell is approximated by the surface area of a sphere, given by the expression, 4πr². The volume of the spherical cell is given by the expression, 4πr³/3. The ratio between surface area and volume turn out to be, 1:r/3, or 3:r. This indicates that the SA/volume ratio is inversely related to the radius of the cell. Greater the radius, lower the ratio. Higher ratios are present in the prokaryotic cells This enables them to exchange food and water from their environment by the simple process of osmosis and diffusion. Eukaryotes have a larger cell radius and size. Thus, eukaryotes find it harder to exchange food and water by simple diffusion, rather they have specialised organelle present in the cell that actively transport food and water into the cell. These specialised organelles help the cell avoid the problem due to small SA/volume ratio.
