Answer:

transport maximum

Explanation:

In the context of physiology, this point of saturation is called the transport maximum. Like mentioned, this is the point in which any further increase in the concentration of a substance no longer results in an increase in movement of that substance across a cell membrane, thus indicating that the carrier of that substance is completely saturated and can no longer complete its function.

Which of the following statements about ATP-powered pumps is NOT true? All ATP-powered pumps contain at least one transmembrane
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Only P-, F-, and V-class pumps transport ions.

Explanation:

The distinct classes of ATPases include:

1) Only the P-type ATPase actively transports ions across biological membranes. P-ATPases (also named E1-E2 ATPases) are found both in plasma and organelle membranes. These ATPases serve to transport ions and phospholipids by hydrolyzing ATP to ADP and phosphate.

2) A- and F-ATPases synthesize ATP by transforming the energy from a gradient of ions across the cell membrane.

3) V-ATPase (also known as Vacuolar-H+ ATPases) acidifies vacuole, lysosome, endosome and Golgi membranes. This type of ATPase couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the active transport of protons across biological membranes.

4) E-ATPases hydrolyze extracellular ATP.

How does cellular information pass from one generation to the next? Include meiosis in your answer.
JulsSmile [24]

Meiosis in reproductive organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Each human cell including reproductive cells contains 23 pair of chromosomes. Meiosis separates the two chromosomes from each pair thus, each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. Therefore, each gamete has 23 new chromosomes, one from each of the 23 pairs. During meiosis, exchange of chromosome segment between copies of a pair of chromosomes. The exchange of chromosome segments creates new combinations of genes which enhances genetic variability within a species.

What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem 2 absorb light?
gladu [14]

When one of the many pigments in the photosystem II absorbs light, the energy is directed inward from pigment to pigment until and unless it reaches the center of reaction. There, energy is conducted towards P680, thus, boosting an electron to a higher level of energy.
