8-3 Mechanisms of Transport. For each of the following statements, answer with a D if the statement is true of simple diffusion,

with an F if it is true of facilitated diffusion, and with an A if it is true of active transport. Any, all, or none (N) of the choices may be appropriate for a given statement. (a) Requires the presence of an integral membrane protein (b) Solutes move down their free energy gradient in the direction of thermodynamic equilibrium (c) Is not subject to saturation (d) Requires the hydrolysis of ATP (e) Is a way of establishing a difference in the concentration gradient of solutes across a membrane (f) Applies only to small, nonpolar solutes (g) Applies only to ions (h) Transport can occur in either direction across the membrane, depending on the prevailing concentration gradient (i) Has a positive G (j) Usually has intrinsic directionality

Answer:

(a) Requires the presence of an integral membrane protein -F

(b) Solutes move down their free energy gradient in the direction of thermodynamic equilibrium - N

(c) Is not subject to saturation - N

(d) Requires the hydrolysis of

ATP - A except secondary active transport

(e) Is a way of establishing a difference in the concentration gradient of solutes across a membrane - D

(f) Applies only to small, nonpolar solutes - D

(g) Applies only to ions - A

(h) Transport can occur in either direction across the membrane, depending on the prevailing concentration gradient - D

(i) Has a positive G(Gradient) - D

(j) Usually has intrinsic directionality

Explanation:

Simple Diffusion is the movement of solutes from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

When then is through a transmenbrane integral protein, it is a facilitated diffusion

Active transport uses chemicals (e.g ATP) to move ions against the concentration gradient (Lower to Higher concentration).

They are two types(Primary and Secondary Active transport). Secondary active transport do not require ATP

WINSTONCH [101]
The surface area will be:
S.A. = 6l²
S.A = 6(100 x 10⁻⁶)²

Volume = l³
Volume = (100 x 10⁻⁶)³

Surface area to volume ratio:
[6(100 x 10⁻⁶)²] / (100 x 10⁻⁶)³
S.A : Vol = 6 x 10⁴

Aldosterone ________. A) is secreted by the posterior pituitary B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption C) presence increas
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.

Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).

A hypothesis is a testable explanation true or false
Ainat [17]

True.

After forming a hypothesis, or an explanation that would be experimented on, you would be <em>testing</em> it to see if it gives the results you were looking for.
