Which statement would be true of a membrane-bound protein that works in conjunction with a sodium–potassium pump during secondar

y active transport?
a. It will be able to transport an ion in both directions across the cell membrane and a small molecule in one direction.
b. It will block a small molecule from moving across the cell membrane in response to an increase in concentration of an ion in the external environment.
c. It will move a small molecule across the cell membrane in response to a build-up in concentration of the molecule in the external environment.
d. Its conformation will change when both an ion and a small molecule bind to it.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "Its conformation will change when both an ion and a small molecule bind to it".

Explanation:

The secondary active transport is a form of active transport at which a ion (typically Na+ or H+)  is transferred down its electrochemical gradient to the uphill movement of another molecule. Secondary active transport takes place by the conjunctive work of membrane-bound proteins and sodium–potassium pumps. During secondary active transport, both of these proteins change its conformation when an ion and a small molecule bind to it. This change in conformation makes possible that the ions and the small molecules pass through the membrane.

A guinea pig with giant muscles is bred with a guinea pig with regular muscles. If muscle size in guinea pigs is INCOMPLETE domi
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Yes, they would be able to produce weak muscled guinea pigs

Please see details below

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for muscle size in guinea pigs. The allele for giant muscles (G) is incompletely dominant over the allele for regular muscles (R). This means that a third intermediate phenotype (weak muscles) is produced in a heterozygous state.

According to this question, a guinea pig with giant muscles (GG) is bred with a guinea pig with regular muscles (RR). The following gametes will be produced by each parent:

GG - G and G

RR - R and R

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportions of offsprings will be produced:

GR, GR, GR, and GR

This shows that all the offsprings (100%) have weak muscles, hence, YES is the answer to this question.

If a square-eyed, orange pet mates with a round-eyed, green pet, can they have any round-eyed orange
kenny6666 [7]

Yes, round-eyed orange offspring is formed because this round eyed feature is present in one of the mating organisms.

<h3>Can offspring of round-eyed orange produced?</h3>

If a square-eyed, orange pet mates with a round-eyed, green pet, they can also have round-eyed orange offspring because this round eyed feature is present in one of the mating organisms.

So we can conclude that round-eyed orange offspring is formed because this round eyed feature is present in one of the mating organisms.

Reduction of central nervous system activity is the defining feature of
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The answer is CNS depression. Reduced activity in the brain can be caused by chemical agents such as opioids, ethanol, benzodiazepines, ethanol, and anticonvulsants. Metabolic issues such as hypoglycemia can also cause CNS depression or accidental inhalation of chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol, or butanol.

Proteins are three dimensional molecules made of strands of amino acids (imagine a ball of string). There are 20 different amino
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A series of nonpolar amino acids would most likely be located in the interior region of the tridimensional molecule.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed by linearly arranged amino acids, each with a side chain: the R-group.

Of the 20 different amino acids that compose the proteins, about half of them -10- are non-polar. Their R-groups are not stable if they are in contact with water, meaning that non-polar amino acids are hydrophobic.

When proteins are synthesized, they acquire a three-dimensional structure that makes them more stable. Lineal polypeptides get folded and turn into a shape that makes them more stable in the environment and capable of accomplishing their biological role. When they are in an aqueous media, their bent shape leaves the hydrophilic R-groups in contact with water. The hydrophilic R-groups stick in the center of the polypeptide, facing the protein interior, and avoiding interaction with water.
