Which of the following is not true of the carrier molecules involved in facilitated diffusion?

Biology

PtichkaEL [24]3 years ago
5 0

Carrier proteins are involved in passive transport, moving solute molecules form one side of the membrane to the other. Option (A) is not true. <em>They increase the </em><em>speed of transport</em><em> across the membrane. </em>

<h3>Facilitated diffusion </h3><h3 />
  • It is the transport of hydrophilic molecules that can not freely cross the membrane.

  • Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this transport.

  • When uncharged molecules cross the membrane, they do it according to their concentration gradients, going from the more concentrated side to the lower concentrated one.

  • When ions need to cross the membrane, the process depends on an electrochemical gradient

<h3>Carrier molecules</h3><h3> </h3>
  • Carrier proteins move molecules from one side of the membrane to the other side.

  • They do not need energy. They move solutes according to the electrochemical gradient.

  • The carrier proteins have specific binding sites recognized by the transported molecules.

  • When the proteins and the solutes get together, the carrier proteins suffer a temporal change in their structure.

  • These changes allow the solute passage to the other side of the membrane.

<h3></h3>

Options,

(A) They increase the speed of transport across the membrane. FALSE

(B) They concentrate solute molecules on one side of the membrane TRUE

(C) They have specific binding sites for the molecules they transport. TRUE

(D) They undergo conformational changes upon binding the solutes. TRUE

The incorrect option about carrier proteins is A. <em>Carrier proteins </em><em>Do Not increase</em><em> the </em><em>speed</em><em> of </em><em>transport</em><em>. They just make it possible. </em>

Answer:

The study island answer is "Remediating the mines keeps the contaminants from entering a watershed."

Explanation:

Many contaminants, particularly heavy metals, pollute the area around abandoned mines. If these contaminants enter the watershed, they can kill many organisms that live in that environment.

GalinKa [24]
Aorta to: arteries, capillaries, venules, veins, superior/inferior Vena Cavae, to Right atrium of the heart, through the tricuspid valve(or called the right AV valve) into the Right ventricle, then pushed through the Pulmonary valve into the Pulmonary trunk and then off into the Pulmonary-Arteries ( to the lungs), then to Pulmonary arteries( which bring blood back to the heart), then into the Left atrium through the Mitral valve into the Left Ventricle, which pushes blood through the Aortic Valve then back to the Aorta!
There is your detailed answer in order! :) yay!!

Just imagine the process in your head. Once you trace it with your mind it is easy to follow!

Good luck and I hope I helped.
