List the events of the sodium potassium pump in the correct sequence, starting at the TOP.
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+ </em>

<em>2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier. </em>

<em>3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell. </em>

<em>4. Carrier binds two molecules of K </em>

<em>5. Phosphate is released. </em>

<em>6. Potassium is released inside the cell </em>

Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.

It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.

<em>Thus it is an active transport mechanism. </em>

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

A cell may vary the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction by making more/less or degrading more/less.

Explanation:

A cell may vary the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction by making more/less or degrading more/less. Several factors affect the rate at which enzymatic reactions proceed include post translational modifications, substrate concentration, cofactors, temperature, pH, locations. The shape and structure of the enzyme will change as the pH value of the reaction medium changes.

Which type of epithelium is composed of multiple layers, including an apical layer containing tall, slender cells?
Mademuasel [1]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • Simple squamous
  • Simple columnar
  • Pseudostratified squamous
  • Stratified squamous
  • Stratified columnar

Answer:

Stratified columnar

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is the tissue formed by the cells which form a layer of cell and lines the lumen of the organ and also covers the organs. The epithelial tissue can be classified based on the number of layer and shape of the cell.

In the given question, the shape of the cell is slender and are tall therefore are called columnar. The cells form more than one layer or multiple layers therefore form stratified layers.

Therefore,  the epithelial tissue formed by these slender shaped multiple layers is known as the stratified columnar layer. The stratified columnar is present in the respiratory tract and the digestive tract.

Thus,  Stratified columnar is the correct answer.
