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.

Pepsi [2]
C. Shield Volcano.. think of Hawaiian volcanoes,they are basaltic eruptions, very effusive and unexplosive and are characterised by slow lava movement and very little tephra from the eruption. The basalt erupted is very hard, dense rock and so can be built up easily.
