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.

If glucose is not the energy of the cell, what is? how does glucose relate to this?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Adenosine triphoshate(ATP) is the energy currency of the cell.

Explanation:

Glucose is the Stored energy which is formed by the Glycogen. At the time when the energy is required glycogen is converted into glucose while, ATP is the energy which is ready to use. In aerobic conditions, Glucose produces about 30 ATP molecules. ATP molecule consists of HIGH ENERGY PHOSPHATE BONDS which are broken down when energy is required.

• How is a cell's specialized shape related to its specialized function?<br> CELL PARTS:
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Cells vary greatly in shape These shapes are often related to the function they perform. like the disk shape of  erythrocytes  can absorb and transport oxygen due to increased surface area., the amoeboid shape of leukocytes allow them to squeeze through capillaries. etc.

Explanation:

Cells can be disc-like , polygonal, rectangular, cubopid thread like branched or even irregular. these are related to the functions that each cell performs.

Some examples showing relation between cell shape and function are as follows.:

  • Human blood cells are circular and biconcave to transport oxygen.
  • White blood cell are amoeboid to squeeze through thin capillaries.
  • Nerve cells are long so that they can carry nerve impulse to a long distance very quickly.
  • Guard cells of stomata are bean or dumbell shaped to open and close the stomata.
