<h2>Transportation across the membrane</h2>

Explanation:

(a) Simple diffusion; Faciliated diffusion-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compounds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein whereas in case of facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement pf molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient
  • Both the diffusions does not require energy

(b) Facilitated diffusion; active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement of molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane

(c) Simple diffusion; Active transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move and Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compouds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein and energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane;secondary active transporters coupled with transportation of two solute molecules

(d) Direct active transport; Indirect active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient or its electrochemical potential

  • Direct active transport use direct energy such as ATP hydrolysis,oxidation and sunlight energy
  • Indirect active transport use indirect energy such as chemical gradient,electrochemical gradient established by direct active transporters;one solute moves along the concentration gradient while other moves against the concentration gradient

(e) Symport; Antiport-Direction in which two transported solutes move

  • In symport both the solute molecules move in same direction;coupled with primary active transport(direct transport)
  • In antiport both the solutes moves in opposite direction;coupled with secondary active transport(indirect transport)

(f) Uniport; coupled transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • Uniport is the transport of single solute across the membrane
  • Coupled transport is the transport of two solute molecules across the membrane;it may be symport or antiport

(g) P-type ATPase; V-type ATPase-Kinetics of solute transport

  • P-type ATPase always transport cations and undergoes phosphorylation
  • V-type ATPase(here V stands for vacuole) transport protons and no phosphorylation occurs;catalytic activity is not reversible
  • Both are types of primary active transporters

Mrs. Jones blood typing results showed agglutination with the plasma containing anti - B antibodies only. What is her blood type
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Mrs Jones Blood type= B type.

Safe transfusion from: B and O blood type.

Explanation:

In the given example, the anti-B antibodies are present in the donor plasma.  Since anti-B antibodies react with B antigen present on the RBCs of blood, Mrs. Jones should have B antigen on the surface of her RBCs. The blood type with only B-antigen on the RBC's surface is blood type "B".  

Hence, her blood type is "B" type which has B antigens that react with anti B antibodies of the donor plasma causing agglutination and hemolysis of RBCs.  

She can get the blood of B and O blood types. Blood type O is a universal blood type as it does not have B or A antigens on the surface of its RBCs to initiate the agglutination.

A scientist was studying bones from an individual who died thousands of years ago. Which portion of the bones was the scientist
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: Minerals

Explanation: The body decomposes and after about 40 to 50 years bones are mostly brittle and dry with no traces of flesh. After thousands of years bones also disintegrate (decay) leaving brittle mineral frame. The life of bones is determined by the soil type its buried in, nuetral soils takes longer then acidic soil condition.

In this case osteocytes(bone cells) are the first to decompose followed by the cartilage and bone marrow, leaving behind mineral traces that scientist can study after thousand years.
