Compare and contrast the following methods of a passing cell membrane in terms of movement with respect to the concentration gradient, use of ATP, and the use of transporters with examples. (Simple) Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion/Passive Transport Osmosis Active Transport Exocytosis Endocytosis (with its 3 subforms)
The following are the characteristics of the setup depicted below: The left side has a higher concentration of "yellow spheres" than the right side. The blue solution is water, and the yellow spheres dissolve in water (i.e. are osmoles). The dotted orange line is a semi-permeable membrane with characteristics exactly the same as a cell's plasma membrane. Below are TWO "If" statements that are separate questions. IF the yellow spheres are freely permeable across the dotted line, the process of [ Select ] ["facilitated diffusion", "active transport", "simple diffusion", "osmosis"] will occur. Consequently, the volume of water on the left side will [ Select ] ["stay the same", "decrease", "increase"] IF the yellow spheres cannot cross the membrane at all, the process of [ Select ] ["osmosis", "facilitated…
Compare and contrast the following methods of a passing cell membrane in terms of movement with respect to the concentration gradient, use of ATP, and the use of transporters with examples. (Simple) diffusion vs Facilitated diffusion
Which of the following statements is correct about passive diffusion? Select one: A) It is a process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). B) It is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). C) It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. D) It may require a transport protein. E) It involves movement of molecules down a concentration gradient and may require a transport protein.
Compare and contrast the following methods of a passing cell membrane in terms of movement with respect to the concentration gradient, use of ATP, and the use of transporters with examples. Active Transport vs Passive Transport
Among the statements a, b and c, which is/are false? a) Endocytosis is the formation of vacuoles by the plasma membrane for the purpose oftransport inside the cell a small content of extracellular fluid. b) Exocytosis is the formation of vacuoles by the plasma membrane for the purpose oftransport a small amount of intracellular fluid out of the cell. c) Pinocytosis is a form of endocytosis. d) All of these statements are false. e) None of these statements is false.
Which of the following serves as a specific binding site for the proteins involved in membrane fusion during exocytosis?a) Phosphatidylinositolb) Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-biphosphateb) Phosphatidylinositol 3, 5-biphosphatec) Phosphatidylinositol 3, 4-biphosphate
The primary function of the kidney is to exchange molecules across a membrane between the blood and the urine. One type of kidney cell has a basic rectangular shape, except for a single surface, which is lined with tiny, finger-like projections that extend into the surrounding extracellular space. Which of the following best explains the advantage these projections provide the cell? The projections increase the selectivity of the membrane because the small size of the projections limits the number of transport proteins that can be embedded in the membrane. The projections increase the volume of the cell without affecting the surface area, which increases the metabolic needs of the cell. The projections increase the surface area–to-volume ratio of the cell, which allows for more efficient nutrient exchange with the environment. The projections increase the speed at which an individual molecule can move,…
