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.

Scientific question: Why does a dog circle its bed before lying down?
SVEN [57.7K]
In the scientific method first of all is you need to identify the problem, the problem to your question is why does the dog circle its bed before lying down. Second is the observation to gather some data, you need to observe the dog if what could be the possibility the the dog may do that action. The third is the pre hypothesis, you need to came up with an idea why does the dog do such and action for example the needs to find a correct spot to make itself comfortable and lastly the hypothesis, this should answer to your question or your problem. So my hypothesis is that dogs are one of the animals that are those difficult to find a place to sleep and some of that kind of animals are cat, before they lay on their bed, they have to circle to find a spot that could fit its body to be more comfortable when the dog sleep

nata0808 [166]
Diseases have multiple ways of infiltrating your body. Diseases can be transported through blood, air, and physical touch. Once the disease has infiltrated the body, it can spread through out the body in many ways. One of which is by feeding off of other cells energy and reproducing. The pathogens travel through the blood and irritate cells. The irritation of cells can cause the body to consume more energy, to repair the damage. This causes symptoms like tiredness, regurgitation, and sometimes in extreme cases, death.
