The intracellular calcium ion concentration of ventricular muscle cells averages 10-4 mmol/L during diastole. The calcium ion co

ncentration in transverse tubules (T tubules) averages 2.5 mmol/L at rest. A protein transporter on the membrane of the T tubule exchanges sodium for calcium. The transporter uses the transmembrane sodium gradient to fuel the exchange. Which of the following transport mechanisms best describes this type of transporter?A. facilitated diffusionB. primary acti*e transportC. secondary acti*e cotransportD. secondary acti*e countertransportE. simple diffusion

Answer:

D. secondary active counter-transport

Explanation:

The protien transporter on the T-tubule is a secondary active counter transporter.

As the Ca2+ ions are pumped out of the cell and the Na+ ions are entered in the cell by a transporter which is using the energy derived from the sodium gradient to fuel the exchange. Hence thisis secondary active counter-transport.

Answer: The correct answer is option D

SECONDARY ACTIVE COUNTER-TRANSPORT

Explanation: Secondary active transport is a type of transport that involves molecules across the cell membrane utilizing or making use of energy in other forms than Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).

The energy that is being made use of comes from the electrochemical gradient created by pumping ions out of the cell. This can be either via antiport or symport.

Antiport or Counter-transport means that 2 different molecules or ions are being transported at the same time but opposite directions. One of the species is allowed to flow from high concentration to a lower concentration (often Sodium) while the other species is transported simultaneously to the other side.

Example is Na+-H+ counter-transport, the example and advantage of this transporter is clearly seen in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. The mechanism for concentrating H+ is not nearly as powerful as Primary active transport, however it can transport extremely large numbers and thus making it a key in H+ homeostasis in the body.

All of the following factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except
tatuchka [14]

All of the factors are responsible for unloading of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule except the increase in partial pressure of oxygen.

Because the affinity of haemoglobin for binding oxygen increases as  partial pressure of oxygen rises.

<h3>What is  Haemoglobin?</h3>

Red blood cells include the protein hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and carbon dioxide from those tissues back to your lungs.

<h3>What are factors that affect Haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?</h3>
  • When used as an oxygen transporter, hemoglobin can carry about 65 times as much oxygen as simple solution in plasma could.
  • A cooperative oxygen-hemoglobin affinity is produced by conformational changes in the molecule.
  • The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve's sigmoidal form reflects this characteristic.
  • Temperature, hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide, and intraerythrocytic 2,3-DPG all have an impact on hemoglobin's affinity, and they all interact with one another.
