A single Na+/K+ ATPase pump is present in the plasma membrane of an artificial cell with an initial cellular environment of 500

molecules of Na+ and 1000 molecules of ATP inside the cell, 500 molecules of K+ outside the cell, and a net charge differential across the plasma membrane of 0. Assuming the only changes in the cellular environment are a result of the pump's actions, what would be the number of Na+, K+ and ATP molecules inside the cell after 10 cycles of the pump and what would be the net charge differential (inside - outside) across the plasma membrane?
a. 300 Na+; 200 K+; 100 ATP and -100 charge differential (inside - outside)
b. 470 Na+; 20 K+; 990 ATP and -20 charge differential (inside - outside)
c. 30 Na+; 20 K+; 900 ATP and -10 charge differential (inside - outside)
d. 470 Na+; 480 K+; 10 ATP and +100 charge differential (inside - outside)
e. 30 Na+; 480 K+; 10 ATP and +20 charge differential (inside - outside)

Answer:

the correct option is A

Explanation:

the correct option is A, because a sodium-potassium pump in a cell requires ONE molecule of ATP for each cycle and exchanges 3 units of sodium for two of potassium, that is why also as the Potassium inside the cell and sodium is excreted in the extracellular medium, the interior value of the cell begins to become negative.

Sodium potassium pumps are fundamental pumps for cellular osmotic balance and are ATP dependent, this means that they need energy to operate.

eduard

Answer:

B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.

Explanation:

Most birds can drop the temperature a few centigrade degrees, while there are torpid birds capable of lowering much more. Birds can drop body temperature in response to environmental conditions. Bird species including, among others, swifts, hummingbirds and chickadees are capable of regulating body temperature during torpor state. There are different morphological and behavioral adaptative traits that enable birds to minimize the cost of thermoregulation. In the first place, epidermis surface allows heat loss to the environment, while arteries and veins in the legs help to retain heat in cold conditions.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. pheromones.

Explanation:

Pheromones are chemical substances that are released and produced by a different type of animals, into the environment, for marking their territory or affecting behaving of its species.

Wolves communicate by the chemical messages using their sense of smell. Such chemical messages are called pheromones, between different members of the same species.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. pheromones.

What other structures of the cytoskeleton would show the same pattern of microtubules as the flagellum?
alexira [117]
The appropriate response is cilia. Cilia are little hair-like structures on the surface of the cell. The hairs clear hair, bodily fluid, caught tidy and microscopic organisms up to the back of the throat where it can be gulped. 
Cilia are found in the coating of the trachea (windpipe), where they clear bodily fluid and earth out of the lungs. In female well evolved creatures, the beating of cilia in the Fallopian tubes moves the ovum from the ovary to the uterus.
