Summary Introduction

To examine: The experimental treatment that will increase the rate of sucrose transport into a plant cell.

Introduction: A transporter is a protein that spans the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane and helps the molecules, ions, and other solutes to pass through it. Active transport maintains the internal concentration of solutes that differ in concentration from the environment. Active transport requires energy expenditure to perform the work. The energy is supplied by the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Consider a plant that is exposed to extreme cold temperatures. Do the cells of this plant manipulate the composition of their membranes in response to this environmental stress?If not, explain why the plant does not manipulate membrane composition in response to this stress.If so, explain the specific changes that these cells would carry out in response to this environmental stress.
Explain what would happen if a plant cell was placed in a hypotonic environment and why (be sure to include solute concentrations, water movement and turgor pressure in your explanation)?
Flippase and scramblase play important roles in the movement of lipid molecules across a membrane bilayer. Match each characteristic with its associated phospholipid translocator. Flippase Scramblase
