False

The differences in permeability between artificial lipid bilayers and cell membranes arise from variations in phospholipid content.

False. The primary difference between cell membranes and artificial membranes is that cell membranes have proteins responsible for creating a selective permeability, which varies with the location and function of the membrane.

Transporters are similar to channels, except that they are larger, allowing folded proteins as well as smaller organic molecules to pass through them.

False. Transporters work by changing conformation after specific binding of the solute to be transported. Channels exclude molecules on the basis of size and charge, but do not depend on specific recognition of the molecules moving through.

For an uncharged molecule, the direction of passive transport across a membrane is determined solely by its __________________ gradient. On the other hand, for a charged molecule, the __________________ must also be considered. The net driving force for a charged molecule across a membrane therefore has two components and is referred to as the __________________ gradient. Active transport allows the movement of solutes against this gradient. The transporter proteins called __________________ transporters use the movement of one solute down its gradient to provide the energy to drive the uphill transport of a second gradient. When this transporter moves both ions in the same direction across the membrane, it is considered a(n) __________________; if the ions move in opposite directions, the transporter is considered a(n) __________________. antiport coupled

For an uncharged molecule, the direction of passive transport across a membrane is determined solely by its concentration gradient. On the other hand, for a charged molecule, an additional force called the membrane potential must also be considered. The net driving force for a charged molecule across a membrane therefore has two components and is referred to as the electrochemical gradient. Active transport allows the movement of solutes against this gradient. The transporter proteins called coupled transporters use the movement of one solute down its gradient to provide the energy to drive the uphill transport of a second gradient. When this transporter moves both ions in the same direction across the membrane, it is considered a(n) symport; if the ions move in opposite directions, the transporter is considered a(n) antiport.

If ATP production is blocked in an animal cell, the cell will swell up. Explain this observation.

ATP is required to power the Na+-K+ pump, which is necessary for maintaining osmotic balance. The pump requires ATP hydrolysis to drive its pumping cycle. So, in the absence of ATP production, the Na+ concentration inside the cell will increase. This is followed by passive diffusion of water across the membrane, causing the cell to swell.

No change, as addition of monomers binding nonhydrolyzable ATP would not affect actin filament length. D. Actin filaments would grow shorter because new monomers could not be added to the filaments.

Actin filaments would grow longer.

It is thought that the glucose transporter switches between two conformational states in a completely random fashion. How is it possible for such a system to move glucose across the membrane efficiently in a single direction?

Although the opening of the glucose transporter on one side of the membrane or the other is random, the binding of glucose into the binding site of the transporter is not a random event. The affinity between the glucose molecule and the transporter governs the binding event: transporter + glucose Û transporter-glucose At high glucose concentrations the complex formation is favored; at low glucose concentrations dissociation of glucose from the transporter is favored. So, as long as there is a large concentration gradient, efficient transport can occur by the simple rules of binding equilibria.

The movement of glucose into the cell, against its concentration gradient, can be powered by the co-transport of Na+ into the cell. Explain this movement with respect to the net entropy of the system (i.e. thermodynamics).

The movement of Na+ ions from an area that has a high Na+ concentration to a new area of low Na+ concentration is energetically favorable because the net entropy in the system is increasing.

Ca2+ pumps in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum are important for _____________. (a) maintaining osmotic balance (b) preventing Ca2+ from altering the activity of molecules in the cytosol (c) providing enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum with Ca2+ ions that are necessary for their catalytic activity (d) maintaining a negative membrane potential

(b). The major purpose of the Ca2+ pumps is to keep the cytosolic concentration of Ca2+ low. When Ca2+ does move into the cytosol, it alters the activity of many proteins; hence Ca2+ is a powerful signaling molecule. It is not involved in the catalytic activity of ER enzymes (choice (c)). Because the levels of Ca2+ are very low relative to the levels of K+ and Na+, the Ca2+ gradient does not have a significant effect on the osmotic balance of the cell (choice (a)) or the membrane potential (choice (d)).

If Na+ channels are opened in a cell that was previously at rest, how will the resting membrane potential be affected? (a) The membrane potential is not affected by Na+. (b) It becomes more negative. (c) It becomes more positive. (d) It is permanently reset.

(c). As Na+ ions move into the cell, the net charge becomes more positive (less negative) and the membrane potential changes to reflect the Co/Ci for both Na+ and K+ ions.

(b) Bacteria and animal cells rely on the Na+-K+ pump in the plasma membrane to prevent lysis resulting from osmotic imbalances. (c) The Na+-K+ pump allows animal cells to thrive under conditions of very low ionic strength. (d) The Na+-K+ pump helps to keep both Na+ and Cl- ions out of the cell.

(d). The Na+-K+ pump keeps Na+ out directly by pumping it out and keeps Cl- out indirectly by helping to maintain the negative membrane potential. Cells do not have pumps for moving water molecules across the membrane (choice (a)), since the lipid bilayer is permeable to water. Bacteria do not have Na+-K+ pumps in their plasma membranes (choice (b)). The Na+-K+ pump cannot directly remove water molecules from the cell; it helps maintain osmotic balance by pumping out the Na+ that leaks in, which would not help if the cell were in a solution of very low ionic strength (choice (c)).

(d). The high extracellular concentration of Na+ is employed by a transporter that pumps protons out of animal cells as Na+ is brought into the cell. The other transporters are found only in bacterial cells.

A molecule moves down its concentration gradient by passive transport, but requires active transport to move up its concentration gradient. Transporter proteins and ion channels function in membrane transport by providing a hydrophilic pathway through the membrane for specific polar solutes or inorganic ions. Transporter proteins are highly selective in the solutes they transport, binding the solute at a specific site and changing its conformation so as to transport the solute across the membrane.

A. Gap junctions are large pores that connect the cytosol to the extracellular space. B. Aquaporin channels are found in the plasma membrane, allowing the rapid passage of water molecules and small ions in and out of cells. C. The ion selectivity of a channel completely depends solely on the charge of the amino acids liningthe pore inside the channel. D. Most ion channels are gated, which allow them to open and close in response to a specific stimulus rather than allowing the constant, unregulated flow of ions.

A. False. Gap junctions are used to connect the cytosol of adjacent cells, allowing the sharing of ions and small metabolites. Because gap junctions are large channels, if they were open while facing the extracellular environment, the ability of the plasma membrane to serve as a permeability barrier would be greatly reduced. B. False. Charged molecules (even protons, which are very small), are not able to pass through aquaporins. C. False. Selectivity depends on three parameters: the diameter, shape and charge of the ion trying to pass through the pore of the channel. D. True.

The net negative charge on the cytosolic side of the membrane enhances the rate of glucose import into the cell by a uniporter.

A. False. This describes coupled transport, which is one type of active transport. Facilitated diffusion can also be called passive transport, in which a solute always moves down its concentration gradient. B. True. C True. D. False. Glucose is an uncharged molecule, and its import is not directly affected by the voltage difference across the membrane if glucose is being transported alone. If the example given were the Na/glucose symporter, we would have to consider the charge difference across the membrane.

You have prepared lipid vesicles (spherical lipid bilayers) that contain Na+-K+ pumps as the sole membrane protein.

Assume that each pump transports one Na+ ion in one direction and one K+ ion in the other direction during each pumping cycle (see Figure Q12-16 for how the Na+-K+ pump normally functions in the plasma membrane).

A. Without any ATP to provide energy for the Na+-K+ pumps, no ions will be pumped. B. The pumps will use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to transport Na+ out of the vesicles and K+ into the vesicles. (The pumps will stop working either when the amount of ATP inside the vesicle is depleted or when the K+ outside the vesicles is depleted.) C. The pump will bind a molecule of Na+, causing the ATPase activity to hydrolyze ATP and transfer the phosphate group onto the pump. A conformational change will occur, leading to the release of Na+ from the vesicle. However, because there is no K+ outside the vesicle, the pump will get stuck at that step and subsequent steps of the cycle will not occur.

d). If the pump is mechanistically similar to the Na+-K+ pump, then the transport of ions is driven by ATP hydrolysis and the pump is transiently phosphorylated; phosphorylation is stimulated by one ion and dephosphorylation is stimulated by the other ion. Because all of the protein is in the phosphorylated form in the absence of Zn2+ (lane F), Zn2+ is probably required for dephosphorylation. K+, then, probably binds to the dephosphorylated form and stimulates the ATPase/autophosphorylation. So, if Zn2+ is added to the phosphorylated pump, Zn2+ will stimulate dephosphorylation, trigger a conformational change, and be injected into the vesicle. K+ will stimulate the kinase activity of the pump, but because there is no ATP to be hydrolyzed in the interior of the vesicle, no phosphorylation and hence no movement of K+ will occur.
