Answer:
The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?
A. Simple diffusion.
B.<u> Facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. Coupled transport.
D. Active transport.
You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:
i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.
ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.
iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.
iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.
The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:
A. simple diffusion.
<u>B. facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. active transport.
D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.
Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.
Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.
This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.
Answer:
Cell Division
Explanation:
Cells reproduce by the process of CELL DIVISION, which is the formation of an increased number of cells from a single parent cell. Mitosis is the type of cell division used for the multiplication of cells as it involves the synthesis of two identical number of daughter cells from a single parent cell.
However, certain drugs that may prevent the unregulated reproduction of cells is trying to directly affect the process of cellular division in that cell. This is because cell division is the way through which cells reproduce themselves.
To clearly view the morphology of the prokaryotes, one needs a microscope with higher resolution i.e magnification of ×100. Use of oil for this purpose is important because it reduces the refraction of light as it travels from air to glass. this process increases the resolution of the microscope making it possible to view morphology of bacteria.
Answer:
Iris Diaphragm controls the amount of light reaching the specimen. It is located above the condenser and below the stage. Most high quality microscopes include an Abbe condenser with an iris diaphragm. Combined, they control both the focus and quantity of light applied to the specimen.
