In which situation would passive transport not use a transport protein for entry into a cell?
water flowing into a heypertonic environment
an ion flowing into a nerve cell to create an electrical potential
glucose being absorbed from the blood
oxygen moving into a cell after oxygen deprivation
Which feature is typical of primary active transport?
The transport protein must cross to the correct side of the membrane before the solute can bind to it.
The transport protein is irreversibly phosphorylated as transport takes place.
The transport protein catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP.
The solute moves against the concentration gradient.
A concentration gradient provides the energy to move substances against their concentration gradient
Which of the following would be most likely to move across the membrane
without a transport protein?
Water, because it is small and polar
O2 (molecular oxygen), because it is small and nonpolar
A cation, because it is small and positively charged
An anion because it is small and negatively charged
