For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words

or phrases will be used; each word or phrase should be used only once. Transporter proteins and ion channels function in membrane transport by providing a ________1__________ pathway through the membrane for specific polar solutes or inorganic ions. A _________2_________ is highly selective in the solute it transports, binding the solute at a specific site and changing conformation so as to transport the solute across the membrane. For an uncharged molecule, the direction of passive transport across a membrane is determined solely by its ________3__________ gradient. On the other hand, for a charged molecule, the _________4_________ must also be considered. The Na K pump is responsible for maintaining high extracellular sodium ion concentrations. This pump carries out a type of transport called _________5_________ . Group of answer choices 1

Answer:

I believe the answer choices are:

passive, symport, free diffusion, hydrophobic, ion channel, hydrophilic, light-driven, passive transport, facilitated diffusion, concentration, amino acid, membrane potential, active transport, transporter protein, noncovalent, amphipathic.

Transporter proteins and ion channels function in membrane transport by providing a 1. hydrophilic pathway through the membrane for specific polar solutes or inorganic ions. A 2. transporter protein is highly selective in the solute it transports, binding the solute at a specific site and changing conformation so as to transport the solute across the membrane. For an uncharged molecule, the direction of passive transport across a membrane is determined solely by its 3. concentration gradient. On the other hand, for a charged molecule, the 4. membrane potential must also be considered. The Na+/ K+ pump is responsible for maintaining high extracellular sodium ion concentrations. This pump carries out a type of transport called 5. active transport.

Explanation:

  • Polar or water soluble solutes can only interact with the hydrophilic domains of transport proteins.
  • Transporters, along with permeases and carriers, are a type of membrane transport proteins. Transport proteins bind the solute molecules and undergo conformational changes to transfer the molecule across the membrane.
  • Uncharged molecules moves across membranes based on their concentration gradient i.e. the difference of concentration between the intra and extracellular environment. Whereas, charged molecules and ions require a membrane potential to be transported. One example is the Na+/K+ pump.
  • Na+/K+ pump is an ATP dependent ion channel that utilizes the enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase to break down ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphates.

Explain how the diaphragm aids in breathing.
zepelin [54]
The diaphragm is the large dome-shaped muscle that rests right under the lungs and separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity. The contractions of the diaphragm are what truly facilitate the movement of air in and out of the lungs. The contraction of the diaphragm, or breathing in, leaves more room in the chest cavity for the lungs to expand as the diaphragm "tightens". The expanded lungs are filled with oxygen-rich air which is then is diffused through capillaries to different parts of the body. The process of breathing out occurs when the diaphragm relaxes, slowly resuming its position its original position in the chest cavity. When relaxing, carbon dioxide is forced out of the lungs.

Hope this helped! :)

Jan's sister and mother have both had breast cancer. She is wondering if she should undergo genetic testing to check for a mutat
Lynna [10]
A) Yes, Jan should undergo genetic sequencing.
BRCA1/BRCA2 are the causes of 20-25% of all hereditary breast cancers, so if Jan's mother and sister both have breast cancer, then the odds are that she has BRCA1 as well.

B) 
Pros: If she does have an abnormal BRCA1 gene, she can take steps to lower her risk of breast cancer.

Cons: The tests can incite discrimination towards her in the workplace, and having it known she has a risk for breast cancer can severely increase the cost of insurance.

C) Genetic sequencing could affect the frequency of genetic diseases because the test could point out --- I can't finish because I have to go. I'm so sorry, reask the url of this question and ask someone to finish. Have a nice day!

liubo4ka [24]
Portland, Oregon, is a city right next to northern west coast of the USA. Besides being very close to the sea, it is also laid on a river. The sun that heats up the ocean and the river leads to evaporation, causing water vapour to ascend, because of a few wind currents, this water vapour is taken to Portland's area where it colds down and condensates, raining over Portland.
