Understand Diffusion One gram of sodium chloride will take longer to dissolve in a solution of 2 M glucose than in a solution of pure water. What is the most reasonable explanation for this observation? Multiple Choice O O O sodium chloride will form stronger ionic contacts in 2 M glucose than in water, slowing its rate of dissolution and diffusion sodium chloride is more hydrophobic in a glucose solution than it is in water, reducing its solubility and diffusion sodium chloride will encounter a greater frequency of collisions in a 2 M glucose solution than in water, slowing its diffusion glucose will form a hydration shell around sodium chloride, slowing its interactions with water and therefore reducing its solubility
In the Nernst equation [V = 62 log10 (Co/ Ci)], the term Ci represents: the extracellular concentration of potassium the extracellular concentration of sodium the membrane potential (in millivolts) the intracellular concentration of calcium the intracellular concentration of potassium       Which of the following ions must be kept to very low concentrations within the cell cytoplasm in order to allow for enough substrate molecules to synthesize nucleotides and nucleic acids? HCO3- (bicarbonate) Ca2+ (calcium) PO43- (phosphate) Na+ (sodium) K+ (potassium)
Distinguish between simple diffusion (SD), facilitated diffusion (FD), and active transport (AT) across a membrane for the following questions. (a) Which processes are energy dependent? (b) Which processes need some kind of carrier protein(s)? (c) Which processes can be saturated by substrate? (d) Which processes can establish a concentration gradient? (e) How much energy does it take to transport an uncharged substrate in, if its starting inside concentration is 10-fold greater than outside?
