5. Which of the following is an example of active transport?

Biology

Nadusha1986 [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)

Explanation:

Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)

2. Describe the functions of the SRP.
loris [4]

Single Recognition Particle (SRP) RNA is necessary for the targeting of proteins to the prokaryotic plasma membrane or to the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Its job is to bind to the signal peptide of the membrane or secretory proteins coming from the ribosome at which time it forms a ribosome-nascent chain (RNC)-SRP complex.

SRP plays an important role in understsnding bacterial physiology, emphasizing the importance of proper membrane protein biogenesis, and demonstrates the ability of time-resolved quantitative proteomic analysis to provide new biological insights.
