Sodium and potassium ions can diffuse across the plasma membranes of all cells because of the presence of what type of channel?

Biology

The correct answer is option d, that is, leak channels.  

The cell membrane comprises protein channels known as leak channels, which permits sodium and potassium ions to leak down their concentration gradients. The membranes of the cell are significantly more permeable to potassium ions in comparison to the sodium ions, due to the presence of more K+ leak channels than Na+ leaks channels.

Researchers can manipulate the genes of a mouse so that a single gene in a single tissue either produces an inactive protein (a
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.

2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.

(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in

liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-

bisphosphatase-1 activity

(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
