Answer:
Explanation:
A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.
B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.
C. False - sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.
D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.
E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.
F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.
Answer:
the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system
Explanation:
The somatic nervous system is responsible for both sending and receiving sensory and motor information to the central nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating involuntary body functions. For example, heart rate, breathing, and digestion.
Answer:
Facilitated diffusion
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation, involving the Electron transport chain and Chemiosmosis is the third stage of cellular respiration. The main purpose of the ETC is to build an electrochemical (electrical and concentration) gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It does this by using energy to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix to the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.
Facilitated diffusion, also known as passive transport through channels, is a form of facilitated transport involving a passive movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, through channels called membrane proteins.
During Chemiosmosis of Oxidative phosphorylation, protons (H+) flow back down their concentration gradient (from inter-membrane space to matrix) due to the chemiosmotic gradient that has been formed in ETC. However, hydrogen ions (H+) cannot pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane except through an enzyme (protein) found in the inner mitochondrial membrane called ATP synthase. This protein acts as a machine powered by the force of the H+ diffusing through it, down an electrochemical gradient. This movement of H+ via ATP synthase further catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP.
It is an example of facilitated diffusion because H+ ions are diffusing across the inner mitochondrial membrane (from inter-membrane space to matrix) via a protein channel or membrane protein called ATP synthase.
