4. A researcher is interested in the mode of transport of three different substances (A, B, & C) across the cell membrane. The researcher's data is presented in the graphs below. A) A Initial rate of transport into the Bor C cell Concentration The graph above shows the initial rate of transport for each substance when cells that do not contain A, B, or C are placed in solutions of differing concentrations of A, B, and C, respectively. Based on this data, which of the following is/are compatible modes of transport for substance A? (active transport, facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion) For substance B? For substance C?

During an investigation on membrane transport, a researcher exposed bacterial cells to different concentrations of two different solutes: A and B. 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
The average concentration of salt in seawater is about 3.5 percent and the average concen- tration of salt in the human cellular environment is about 0.9 percent. Drinking seawater can be fatally harmful and is highly discouraged even in the most severe cases of dehydration. Which of the following provides the most likely cause for this fact? A B с D The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will increase the per- meability of the cell membrane. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will cause the move- ment of water into the cell. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will cause the move- ment of water out of the cell. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will decrease the per- meability of the cell membrane.
The uneven distribution of ions across the plasma membrane is regulated, in part, by transport proteins. The result is a net negative charge on the inside of the plasma membrane and a net positive charge on the outside of the plasma membrane. How doyou explain the net negative charge inside the plasma membrane when the predominant intracellular ion is K+?
1. Ms. Sassa, a biology professor, wanted to demonstrate to her students the applicability of a dialyzing membrane (DM) as a model for the cell membrane by enclosing an aqueous solution in a DM bag and immersing in a beaker containing a different solution. Substances available which are permeable to the DM include 0.02 M NaCl, 0.03 M glucose, and 0.01 M glucose. The only substance available which is completely impermeable to the DM is the 0.01 M lactose. Using the substances given and materials such as a beaker, stirring rod, and string, draw ONLY ONE set- up that can be demonstrated by Ms. Sassa that will satisfy ALL of the following conditions: a. No solute will exhibit a net diffusion out of the cell. b. Glucose will exhibit a net diffusion into the cell. c. NaCl will exhibit a zero net movement. d. No net movement of lactose from the inside to outside of the cell. Make sure to label properly the substance inside the beaker and inside the DM bag (1.)

1) You are studying a transport protein. It appears to bind temporarily to the molecule to be transported. During normal transport, no energy is expended. The addition of a particular molecule that closely resembles the normally transported molecule inhibits transport. An increase in the concentration of the normally transported molecule in the presence of a constant concentration of the inhibitor increases the rate of transport. What kind of transport is described? 2) What are peripheral membrane proteins?
The surface area to volume ratio affects the ability of the cell to exchange nutrients and waste products with the outside environment. Many factors affect the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, including membrane thickness, temperature, pressure, concentration gradient, molecular mass, distance travelled, solvent properties and surface area of the cell. In general, according to Einstein’s approximation equation (Equation 1), diffusion time is inversely proportional to the to the diffusion coefficient (D), where t is time and x is distance travelled. The diffusion coefficient is unique to each type of molecule and is determined experimentally. Waste products such as carbon dioxide (CO2) pose a unique problem to cells as their accumulation may be lethal. Exchange with the external environment is dependent upon the distance the waste must travel; for a round cell this will be up to half the cell diameter. Using the diffusion coefficient (D) for carbon dioxide (1.97 × 10-5…
