What is present in human blood that ensures blood ph is maintained at about 7.4?

Biology
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
5 0
Bicarbonate buffer system. Human blood contains large amounts of carbonic acid, which is a weak acid, and bicarbonates, a strong base. If blood pH falls below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, one can become sick or die. This bicarbonate buffer system help maintain blood pH at 7.4. The bicarbonate neutralizes excess acids in the blood while the carbonic acid neutralizes excess bases.

A transmembrane protein has the following properties: it has two binding sites, one for solute A and one for solute B. The prote
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The protein is a symport protein.

Explanation:

Transport proteins are proteins which are involved in the transport of solutes across the cell membrane. The binding of the solute to be transported across the membrane causes a conformational change in the shape of the protein, thereby moving the molecule to the side of nthe membrane it is to be transported. The difference in the concentration of the solute across the membrane known as concentration gradient is mainly responsible for the transport of molecules by the transport proteins.

There are three types of transport proteins: uniport, symport and antiport transport proteins.

Uniporters are involved in moving only one molecule across a membrane

Symporters are involved in moving two or more molecule across a membrane in the same direction.

Antiporters are involved in moving two or more molecule across a membrane in opposite directions.

From the description of the transport protein in the question, both solutes A and B are moved across the membrane simultaneously in the same direction. Therefore, the protein is a symport protein.
