Active transport pumps are used to move sodium ions across the membranes of gill cells in freshwater fish species. Which of the following statements about the pumps is accurate?Explain. a) There are specific binding sites for sodium ions on the pump b) They require osmosis to carry the sodium ions into the cell c) This is an example of passive diffusion and ATP is required d) Their lipid based structure allows it to embed in the cell membrane

During an investigation on membrane transport, a researcher exposed bacterial cells to different concentrations of two different solutes: A and B. The rate of transport of each solute into cells isrepresented in the graphSolute ASolute BSolute ConcentrationWhich of the following best explains the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentrations?A Solute A is being transported by simple diffusion, which does not rely on membrane proteins to control the rate of transportSolute A is being transported by active transport, which uses ATP and has higher rates of transport than passive transportSolute A is being transported by facilitated diffusion, which uses membrane proteins to increase the rate of transportRate of Transport

Glucose is transported across the cell membrane of intestinal cells. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? A facilitated diffusion B simple diffusion C osmosis D concentration gradient
If you made a hematocrit in two tubes. Tube A is made of 0.60M NaCl, and Tube B is made of 1.00M of NaCl, describe how the cell would respond in these solutions? Which would have a higher rate of osmosis? If the cell is permeable to NaCl, which would have a higher rate of diffusion?
What is the relationship between concentration gradient and active and passive transport?
Explain the term Facilitated Transport ?
This graph shows facilitated diffusion of a compound across a cytoplasmic membrane and into a cell. As the external concentration of the compound is increased, the rate of uptake increases until it reaches a point where it slows and then begins to plateau. This is not the case with passive diffusion, where the rate of uptake continually increases as the solute concentration increases. Why does the rate of uptake slow and then eventually plateau with facilitated diffusion?
