- In the stomach, parietal cells are responsible for the formation of the gastric juice. During acid secretion, the pH in the stomach is estimated to be pH = 2, whereas parietal cells maintain an intracellular pH =7.35. The transmembrane potential of parietal cells is typically -70 mV. Body temperature 37°C. 1) Calculate the proton gradient concentration across the parietal membrane 2) Calculate the free energy change associated with the secretion of 1 mole of H* 3) Do you think that Ht transport can be driven by ATP hydrolysis at the ratio of one molecule of ATP per H* transported? You can use your textbook or other sources to check AG for ATP hydrolysis 4) If H* where free to move back to into the cell, calculate the membrane potential that would be required to prevent them to do soThe parasite Trypanosoma brucei, which causes sleeping sickness, uses proline as an energy source during one stage of its life cycle. The properties of this proline-specific transporter were investigated in a series of experiments. L-hydroxyproline inhibited the transporter. D-proline did not inhibit the transporter. Na*, K*, and pH changes did not affect the transporter. Which of the following is a reasonable hypothesis based on this data? The proline transporter is a Na+-K+ ion pump. The proline transporter cleaves amide bonds. The proline transporter is stereospecific. The proline transporter requires metal-ion catalysis. The proline transporter has an essential ionizable histidine residue,yeasts are able to produce high internal concentrations of glycerol to counteract the osmotic pressure of the surrounding media. suppose that a sample of yeast cells were placed in a 4% sodium chloride solution by weight. The density of solution is at 25 C = 1.02 g/ml, Molecular weight of solute = 58.44 g/mol, i of glycerol = 1 and R=0.08205 L-atm/mol-K What is the weight of solute in grams What is the moles of solute What is the volume of the solution in liters What is the molarity of the solution What is the value of the temperature to be used to solved for the osmotic pressure of the solution What is the osmotic pressure of solution
- In an experiment, a 0.001 (mole fraction) solution of polysaccharide in water is made and is placed in the compartment A (see Figure below). Compartment B is filled with pure water. The two compartments are separated by a porous semi-permeable membrane that allows the exchange of water molecules between the two compartments, but not that of the larger polysaccharide molecules a) Show that the chemical potential of water in compartment A is lower than that in compartment B by 2.48 J/mol. b) As a result of this chemical potential difference, water molecules will move from compartment B to compartment A. This causes the pressure in compartment A, relative to that in B, to increase. How would this affect the chemical potential of water in compartment B? When would the diffusion of water from B to A cease (i.e. equilibrium is achieved)? c) Using your answer to part (b), work out the difference between the pressure in compartment A and B when…The antibiotic valinomycin is an ionophore that forms a specific complex with potassium ion. Because the complex is lipophilic and can diffuse into the membrane, valinomycin brings about the transport of K+ through the inner membrane. Valinomycin acts by decreasing the ∆ψ (membrane potential) component of the pmf, without a direct effect on the pH gradient. Another antibiotic, nigericin, acts as a K+ >H+ antiporter; itcarries H+ in one direction, coupled with the reverse transport of K+. Thus,nigericin dissipates the pH component of the pmf, with little effect on ∆c.Which antibiotic, nigericin or valinomycin, do you predict would have thegreater effect on oxidative phosphorylation when administered to respiring mitochondria? Assume the antibiotics are added to a suspension of mitochondria in equimolar amounts. Briefly explain your reasoning.The Table below shows the names of proteins whose functions are regulated through the binding of their ligands. Complete this Table by filling in the correct ligands for each of the proteins, the corresponding K, value, the affinity of this protein for its ligand and the source where the protein is found.

- You are studying the effects of temperature and lipid composition on membrane fluidity using artificial membranes containing only one or a few kinds of lipids and no proteins. Assume that you and your lab partner have made the following artificial membranes: Membrane 1: Made entirely of phosphatidylethanolamine. Each of the two chains of the fatty acids is 18 carbon in length and both are completely saturated. Membrane 2: Made entirely of phosphatidylethanolamine with 14-carbon fatty acid chains. only one fatty acid tail contains a double bond, the other one is completely saturated. Membrane 3: Made entirely of phosphatidylethanolamine with 14-carbon fatty acid chains. Both fatty acid tails have a single double bond. Predict the transition temperature of the above-mentioned membranes.If you start with 100 mM Na+ and 100 mM K+ outside the liposomes, and 100 mM Na+ and 100 mM K+ inside the liposomes like in (A), then you add ATP to the solution outside the liposomes, then how will the Na+ and K+ concentrations change?Fatty acids are the building blocks and precursors membrane lipids. You are studying the impacts of temperature change on the composition of cell membranes from the nematode worm C. elegans. C.elegans is usually grown át 20°C but can tolerate being grown at 13°C and 27°C. The structure of the four fatty acid tails of membrane lipids are shown in the table below. The membrane composition changes with respect to the three tested temperatures Condition Condition Condition A C Fatty Acids in the membranes of C. elegons cells CH 23% 35% 35% COOH CH, 27% 45% 30% COOH 18% COOH 5% 10% 32% 15% 25% COOH Using the data from the table, which condition is most likely representing growth conditions at 13°C ?
