The glucose transporter used by cells to obtain glucose from the media is a protein embedded in the membrane. When researchers f

irst started to investigate the glucose transporter's structure they had trouble because it seemed to have 2 differnet shapes! Eventually they realized that the glucose transporter changes shape as it moves glucose into the cell but does not require energy to do it's work. Which of the following is the best description for the glucose transporter?
a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion
b. It's a carrier protein doing active transport
c. It's a protein channel doing facillitated diffusion
d. It's a protein channel doing active transport

Answer:

a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the transportation of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration that is down the concentration gradient without input of the energy. Whereas the active transport is transportation of the molecules from the low concentration to the high concentration which is against concentration gradient by the membrane protein.

The glucose transportation process requires membrane protein for the transport and does not require any energy. Therefore, it is carrier protein which is doing the facilitated diffusion.

What is the explanation of why avery, macleod, and mccarty's in vitro transformation experiment showed that dna, but not rna or
astraxan [27]

The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the  Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

What sort of environment (hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic) does consuming excessive amounts of pure water create in the body flu
Vlada [557]

Consuming excessive amounts of pure water creates hypotonic environment in the body fluid surrounding the cell.

<h3>What is a hypotonic solution?</h3>
  • A solution having lower osmotic pressure than the solution to which it is compared.
  • It has lower amount of solute (high amount of solvent) compared to other solution separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
  • After consuming excessive amounts of pure water, the body fluid becomes hypotonic, so water enters from body fluid to the cell resulting in the cell to swell or break.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

A hypothesis cannot be wrong, because it is an educated guess. You cannot prove a guess wrong. A guess is something you think, and there is no right or wrong answer to thoughts.
