Chapter 10, Problem 23CQ

(a)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The pH of the secreted HCl and how does this compare to the cytosolic pH of 7.4.

Concept introduction: Membrane proteins are the protein present at the membrane of cell that interacts with the biological membrane and with the ions. Mainly membrane proteins are of two types, transporter protein and membrane receptor. Transporter proteins are the proteins that move the molecules and ions across the membrane. pH of a solution is denoted as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of that solution. The pH in a solution decreases as H+ ion concentration increases in the solution.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reaction that is catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase.

Concept introduction: Membrane proteins are the protein present at the membrane of cell that interacts with the biological membrane and with the ions. Mainly membrane proteins are of two types, transporter protein and membrane receptor. Transporter proteins are the proteins that move the molecules and ions across the membrane.  The reaction involved in the change in chemical properties of two or more particles that interact with each other are denoted as catalytic reaction.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The diagram that shows the action of both transport proteins that results in the secretion of HCl.

Concept introduction: Membrane proteins are the protein present at the membrane of cell that interacts with the biological membrane and with the ions. Mainly membrane proteins are of two types, transporter protein and membrane receptor. Transporter proteins are the proteins that move the molecules and ions across the membrane.
