Both H+ and Ca2+ are ions that move through thecytosol. Why is the movement of H+ ions so much fasterthan that of Ca2+ ions? How do you suppose the speed ofthese two ions would be affected by freezing the solution?Would you expect them to move faster or slower? Explainyour answer.
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY In the 1930s, some physiciansprescribed low doses of a compound called dinitrophenol(DNP) to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method wasabandoned after some patients died. DNP uncouples thechemiosmotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of theinner mitochondrial membrane leaky to H+. Explain howthis could cause weight loss and death.
Water moves via osmosis _______. a. throughout the cytoplasm b. from an area with a high concentration of other solutes to a lower one c. from an area with a low concentration of solutes to an area with a higher one d. from an area with a low concentration of water to one of higher concentration
A characteristic of carrier molecules in a primary active transport pump is that: a. they cannot transport a substance and also hydrolyze ATP. b. they retain their same shape as they perform different roles. c. their primary role is to move negatively charged ions across membrances. d. they move Na+ into a neural cell and K+ out of the same cell. e. they act to establish an electrochemical gradient.
How does ATP relate to membrane transport?a. The movement of a substance down its concentration gradientthrough transport proteins requires the hydrolysis of ATP.b. The higher the concentration of ATP in the cell, the more permeablethe membrane is to water and small, nonpolar molecules.d. A cell uses the energy in ATP to transport substances against theirconcentration gradient.c. Digestion produces a high concentration of ATP outside the cell,and the ATP enters the cell via facilitated diffusion.

Among the membrane transporters, the channels require energy and therefore are involved in active transport. * D. Disagree, because channels are not proteins and therefore are not involved in active tranport. A. Agree, because channels are associated with H+-ATPase. B. Disagree, because the pumps are the ones involved in active transport. C. Agree, because channels are proteins involved in active transport.
