Document Summary

Bisc 220: these processes are not in isolation, most reactions go in two directions, only one is. Favored: passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, channel proteins: these are membrane proteins that form channels through the plasma membrane. i. ii. iii. Channel proteins are lined with hydrophobic amino acids. The best studied protein channels are the ion channels. There are various mechanisms for controlling the opening and closing of ion channels. Once the channel is opened, millions of ions can rush through it per seconds. Just how fast these ions move and in which direction depends on the concentration gradient. The potassium channel: this is inserted in membranes iv: two types of transport proteins for facilitated diffusion i. ii. iii. iv. Carrier/transport protein: allows transport to be selective, ex. The binding sites of glucose transporters can discriminate between d-glucose (which can be used by cells) and l-glucose (which cannot). Transport/carrier proteins form channels but they also specifically bind the transported substance.

2. Unlike the positive charged ion shown in the middle diagramof figure 11-4B, K+ is higher in concentration inside the cell. Howwill the membrane potential of a cell at rest (shown in both themiddle and right-hand diagrams of Figure 11-4B) affect theelectrochemical gradient for K+?

4. Aquaporin will not transport Na+ ions because

A. Two asparagine residues in the channel prevent the passage ofNa+ ions by binding the oxygen of each water molecule as it passesby

B. Na+ ions are repelled by the positive charges at the entranceto the channel

C. Na+ ions cannot make contact with the carbonyl (C=O) groupson all four sides of the channel

D. The passage of Na+ ions is energetically unfavorable becauseone side of the channel is hydrophobic in nature

5. The acetylcholine receptor is different from other channelproteins we have discussed, such as the K+ leak channel,because

A. The acetylcholine channel is composed of a single polypeptiderather than multiple subunits

B. The acetylcholine channel transports Na+ ions against theconcentration gradient for sodium

C. The acetylcholine channel has a much smaller diameter thanother channel proteins

D. The acetylcholine channel transports ions with theirassociated shell of water molecules

E. The acetylcholine channel is always open, and never switchesto a closed conformation

6. After opening briefly along the axon of a neuron,voltage-gated ion channels switch to an inactivated conformationthat slowly returns to the original closed conformation of theprotein. This slow change in conformation, requiring about amillisecond, is important because

A. all of the ions that were transported across the membranewhen the ion channels were open must be actively transported backto the other side of the membrane, restoring the originalconcentration gradient, before the ion channels can open again

B. ATP hydrolysis is necessary to drive this energeticallyunfavorable change in conformation

C. it prevents the action potential from reversing direction andtraveling back toward the cell body of the neuron

D. the channel protein must be dephosphorylated in order tocomplete the transport process and return to the originalnonphosphorylated conformation

Cellular biology answer check. please check if my answers arecorrect or not.

1) The concentration of ions inside a cell is the same as theirconcentration outside of the cell. True or false? (i chose falsesince having equilibrium inside a cell is bad)

2) Membrane transport proteins...

a)...transport membrane potentials between cells
b) ...transport membranes from the ER to the Golgi
c) ...are made up of phospholipids
d) ...transport molecules across membranes

i chose d

3)The electrochemical gradienttakes into account:

a) The concentration of solutes on either side of themembrane.
b) The overall charge on either side of the membrane.
c) Both of these.

i chose C. (although i am sure that overall charge matters, Iwasn't sure if concentration of solutes are taken account.)

4) If no energywere expended by an animal cell:

a) Both gradients would be depleted
b)The K+ gradient would maintain itself.
c) None of these
d) The Na+ gradient would maintain itself.

I chose d) mainly because I think Na+ gradient exist in animalcell and not K+ gradient.

5) Which of the following is a true statement aboutactin?

a) Once actin has polymerized, it never depolymerizes.
b) Actin is a transmembrane protein.
c) Actin can form branched networks.
d) Actin filaments are organized into hollow tubes.

I chose c. can't explain why.

6)Ion channels:

a) Form a hydrophobic channel through the membrane
b) Have filters that let sugars through
c) Are selective for particular ions (only the
