The phosphate transport system in bacteria imports phosphate into the cell even when the concentration of phosphate outside the cell is much lower than the cytoplasmic phosphate concentration. Phosphate import depends on a pH gradient (this is a hydrogen ion H+ gradient), established via breakdown of ATP for energy, across the membrane-more acidic outside the cell than inside the cell. Phosphate transport may best described as an example of O cotransport or secondary active transport O facilitated diffusion O active transport O passive diffusion O osmosis

The membrane transport protein Na+-K+ ATPase carries both Na+ and K+ ions across the plasma membrane. Typically the concentration of K+ inside cells is about 30 times higher inside the cell than outside. The concentration of Na+ is about 20 times less inside the cell than outside. Based on this information, which statement below is false? A. The proper functioning of Na+-K+ ATPase could serve as an energy source for secondary active transport proteins. B. It is a symport. C. Transport of Na+ and K+ must be coupled to an exergonic reaction. D. Na+-K+ ATPase likely undergoes conformational changes during transport.
Active transport across membrane can be mediated by the following mechanisms: “Uphill” transport is powered by energy from photons. A solute is driven “uphill” compensated by a different solute being transported “downhill.” “Uphill” transport is powered by ATP hydrolysis. All of the above. None of the above.

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
Uniporters and ion channels support facilitated transport across cellular membranes. Although both are examples of facilitated transport, the rates of ion movement via an ion channel are roughly 104 - to 105 -fold faster than the rates of molecule movement via a uniporter. What key mechanisticdifference results in this large difference in transport rate?What contribution to free energy (ΔG) determines the direction of transport?
The transport of a certain molecule exhibits the following characteristics: (1) The molecule moves down its concentration gradient; (2) at concentrations above a given level, there is no increase in the rate of transport; and (3) cellular energy is not required for transport to occur. Which type of transport process is at work?
