List the events of the sodium potassium pump in the correct sequence, starting at the TOP.

Biology

<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+ </em>

<em>2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier. </em>

<em>3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell. </em>

<em>4. Carrier binds two molecules of K </em>

<em>5. Phosphate is released. </em>

<em>6. Potassium is released inside the cell </em>

Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.

It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.

<em>Thus it is an active transport mechanism. </em>

Which of the following is a major cause of the size limits for certain types of cells?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

D. the need for a surface area of sufficient area to allow the cell's function

Explanation:

Many cellular functions such as the exchange of substances and respiratory gases, absorption of nutrients, cell-cell communication, etc. require the cells to have a sufficient surface area. A small cell has a larger surface area to volume ratio and therefore, maintains a higher rate of exchange of substances. As the cell increases in size, the surface area grows less than its volume. Therefore, the surface area required to perform the cellular functions puts an upper limit on the cell size.

Cells maintain the required surface area by dividing and/or by developing folding or projections on the surface. For instance, the cells in the wall of the small intestine require to maintain a higher surface area for nutrient absorption. Therefore, the cells of the wall of the small intestine develop microvilli to have a larger surface area which in turn supports a relatively higher rate of absorption.
