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.

10 points! When looking out of my back door, I see robins, blue jays, finches, crows, hawks and owls all living in the same area
forsale [732]

The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.

What is the basic formula for monosaccharides and how is the shape determined?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars with a basic formula Cⁿ (H2O)ⁿ. They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms they contain: tetroses (4), pentoses (5) and hexoses (6). There are also mosaccharides with 3 carbon atoms, for example the Dihydroxyacetone.

Explanation:

Monosaccharides have to be aldehydes (-CHO) or ketones (-COO) with more than one alcohol function, which will be located in different carbons.

Which class iv calcium channel blocker is exclusively administered to treat acute supraventricular tachycardia?
Likurg_2 [28]
The class iv calcium blocker that exclusively administered to treat acute supraventricular tachyxardia is Diltiazem.  Calcium channel blockers obstruct the movement of calcium into conductive and contractile myocardial cells by inhibiting the influx of calcium through its channels, causing a slower conduction through the SA and AV. Diltiazem is administered intravenously to treat acute supraventricular tachycardia.
