Ouabain is a specific inhibitor of the active transport of sodium ions out of the cell and is therefore a valuable tool in studi

es of membrane transport mechanisms. Which of the following processes in your own body would you expect to be sensitive to inhibition by ouabain? Explain your answer in each case.Part AFacilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cellYes; sodium ion cotransport is required for facilitated diffusion of glucose.No; sodium ion cotransport is required for simple diffusion of glucose, but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose.No; sodium ion cotransport is required for active transport of glucose, but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose.Part BActive transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosaYes; cotransport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.No; the movement of amino acids depends on a potassium ion cotransport.No; the movement of amino acids depends on a calcium ion cotransport.Part CUptake of potassium ions by red blood cells Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cellsYes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.No; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of calcium ions.No; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of protons.Part DActive uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestineYes; active uptake of sugars in bacteria is driven by a sodium ion cotransport.No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a potassium ion cotransport

Answer:

1. Part A: No

2. Part B: Yes

3: Part C : Yes

4: Part D : No

Explanation:

1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:

No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose

2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:

Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.

3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:

Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.

4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine

No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.

What is Sophocles suggesting to the audience about physical and metaphysical blindness in Oedipus Rex?
ipn [44]

In this context he uses the metaphor because the literary device sight is used to build Oedipus Rex and his inability to see

Explanation:

The time to reflect for Oedipus sins are given by making him blind his physical blindness gives him the time to reflect upon his mistakes done over the period of time

This refers to the knowledge that is the thing that he is unable to see he himself understands that this was the time for him to repent on his mistake and Aristotle points that the tragic of Oedipus life was due to his excessive pride and self righteous

Apply Concepts:
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  the very long river

Explanation:

Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.

The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.

_____

Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.

If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.

What are the similarities between interspecific and intraspecific competitions?
Lerok [7]

Answer: If you break the two terms down, "intraspecific" just means within a species, while "interspecific" means between them. Consequently, interspecific competition is all about competition between two or more species, while intraspecific competition involves different individuals of the same species.
