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

in can undergo a conformational change to switch between two states: either both binding sites are exposed exclusively on one side of the membrane or both binding sites are exposed exclusively on the other side of the membrane. The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. What kind of protein do these properties define

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.

katrin [286]
I found the exercise on the internet. Attached is the chart and the rows. On the left we have "plant tissue", then on the middle top - "dermal" - and just below - "ground". Straight in front of "ground", the term is "c<span>ollenchyma".

The correct row would be D.
1. is vascular because that's the other type of plant tissue besides the ones that are already present in the chart.
2. and 3. - s</span>clerenchyma and parenchyma - are indeed types of ground tissues next to collenchyma.
4. and 5. - x<span>ylem and phloem - are the types of tissues present in vascular plants, they work as vessels where water and nutrients are conducted.</span>

What living system is being directly<br> affected by the dirty water that this<br> ship is dumping?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

If garbage is dumped into the ocean, the oxygen in the water could be depleted. This results in poor health for marine life due to lack of oxygen. Animals such as seals, dolphins, penguins, sharks, whales, and herring could all die. Bottles and other plastics including bags can suffocate or choke sea creatures.
