Cells transporting substances across their membranes is essential. Choose TWO of the following types of cellular transport.
๏osmosis ๏active transport ๏facilitated diffusion ๏endocytosis / exocytosis
(a)For each type of transport you choose, describe the transport process. Explain how the organization of cell membrane plays a role the movement of specific molecules across membrane.
(b)Using the same transport types, identify a specific cell that utilizes that type of transit (i.e. one cell for each transport type, or two different cell examples), and detail a substance that is transferred.
(c)A typical human lymphocyte has a radius of about 10 μm, while a typical bacterium (e.g., S. pneumoniae) has a radius of about 1 μm. Assuming that both cell types are perfectly spherical, compare and contrastthe transport mechanisms for each of these cells.
(a) Describe permeability of a phospholipid bilayer for the following molecules. Use terms: non-permeable, high permeability, medium permeability.
N2, O2, Na+, glucose, sucrose (disaccharide), glycogen, H2O, KCl, K+, Mg2+, glycine and protein
(b) Discuss the role of carbonic anhydrase in CO2 transport.
(c) Discuss the cause of ‘cold denaturation’ of proteins.
What is the likely identity of these membrane associated proteins: (a) a protein that is released from a membrane treated with a high salt solution, which causes disruption of ionic linkages; (b) a protein that is not released from the membrane upon its exposure to a high salt solution alone, but is released when the membrane is incubated with an enzyme that cleaves phosphate glycerol bonds and covalent linkages are disrupted; (c) a protein that is not released from the membrane upon exposure to a high salt solution, but is released after the addition of the detergent sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Will the activity of the protein released in part (c) be preserved following its release?
