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.

In a Hardy-Weinberg population with two alleles, A and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of allele a is 0.1. What is the
Sati [7]

The correct answer is D) 0,81

When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in  this  case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. And we have:

p²+2*p*q+q²= 1       <em>p+q= 1     p=1-q</em>

q= 0.1     p= 1-0.1= 0.9

p²=0.9²= 0.81

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The main job of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carbon dioxide as a waste product, away from the tissues and back to the lungs. Hemoglobin (Hgb) is an important protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of our body.

<u></u>

Biomes: T<u>emperate Deciduous Forest, Coniferous Forest, Woodland, Chaparral, Tundra, Grassland, Desert, Tropical Savanna</u>

<u />

A lake is not a biome. A lake can be found in a biome, but a lake is not itself a biome. A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. Yes, similar species can be found living in a lake, but a lake can be found in a particular biome where there are lots more of the same species.
