What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas

ma membrane that contained a large concentration of the Na+/K+ pump? What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plasma membrane that contained a large concentration of the Na+/K+ pump? The cell would accumulate Na+, but there would be no effect on K+. The cell would accumulate K+, but there would be no effect on Na+. The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations. Both Na+ and K+ would accumulate outside of the cell.

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

The Na/⁺K⁺ pump is an ATPase pump which is responsible for maintaining low Na⁺ and high K⁺ concentrations within the cytoplasm while maintaining high Na⁺ and low K⁺ concentrations in the extracellular fluid.

Since these two ions are moved against their concentration gradient, ATP hydrolysis is required to provide the energy for this process. This is done by moving in two K⁺ ions  inside while moving three Na⁺ ions outside the cell for every molecule of ATP hydrolysed to ADP and Pi.

If a competitive non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP is applied on the cytoplasmic side of a plasma membrane that contained a large concentration of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump, it will act by inhibiting the action of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump. This will result in an accumulation of Na⁺ ions inside the cell and lower than normal K⁺ ions concentration.

The main structural differences between plant and animal cells are the additional structures found in pants. The structures include, the cell wall, the chloroplasts and also the vacuoles. The similarity between them is that they both contain plasma membrane, a nucleus, a nucleolus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, peroxisomes and the microtubules.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger?
kherson [118]

Answer:  As we all grow, why don’t the cells just get bigger instead of getting more of them? Cells are limited in size because the outside (the cell membrane) must transport the food and oxygen to the parts inside.

Answer:

Beautiful Huntresses: Scientists Explain Why Mantises Evolved To Resemble Orchids : The Two-Way Typically, when insect females evolve to become larger than males, it's in order to produce more offspring. But female orchid mantises evolved to look like flowers for a sinister reason: to hunt prey.

Carbon ______________ are processes that add carbon to the atmosphere. Carbon ______________ are processes that absorb carbon
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Carbon sources

Carbon sequestration

Explanation:

Carbon sources are regions that produces atmospheric carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is naturally added to the atmosphere when organisms respire, decompose, rocks with carbonate are weathered and volcanoes erupt.

Carbon sequestration is the process of taken and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. The method helps in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which in turn reduces global climate change.
