Bigoxin, a toxin derived from the foxglove (shown), can be used to treat heart disorders such as atrial fibrillation. Digoxin's mechanism of action is to inhibit the Na+/K+ ATPase. Which of the following is the most likely side effect of Digoxin treatment? O Failure to transport glucose into cells while fasting (not eating) O Failure to transport Ht into lysosomes using direct active transport Failure to transport glucose into cells after a meal O Failure to secrete pancreatic digestive enzymes in response to eating

Animal cells utilize rapid increases in cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration to respond to certain extracellular signals. This requires keeping the cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration very low in the absence of signal (when the cell is “at rest”) and increasing the cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration when a signal is detected. Propose a mechanism by which the action of Ca++ transport proteins in the plasma membrane can account for the reversibility of Ca++ levels in the cytosol. Be sure to indicate whether active or passive transport is involved as well as the type of transport protein (channel or carrier) responsible.
Our current experimental procedure works because Con A adheres strongly to the nitrocellulose membrane while HRP hardly binds to the membrane at all. If HRP binds as strongly to the membrane as Con A does, our current scheme will not work. Assuming that's the case (HRP strongly binds to the membrane non-specifically, regardless of the presence of ConA), you will need to treat the membrane with an additional solution before treating it with HRP. What solution would that be? O Saturated NaCI solution. O Concentrated HCI. A membrane-binding protein. Concentrated glucose slution.
Intestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the Nat-glucose symporter. Recall that the Na+ concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Na+ ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Na+ concentration outside the cell ([Na+]out) is 155 mM and that inside the cell ([Na+ lin) is 21.0 mM, and the cell potential is -52.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell. Assume the temperature is 37 °C. AGgluc = kJ mol What is the maximum ratio of [glucose] in to [glucose]out that could theoretically be produced if the energy coupling were 100% efficient?

If the Na+ concentration outside the cell ([Na+]out) is 163 mM and that inside the cell ([Na+]in) is 21.0 mM, and the cell potential is −54.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell.

According to the “Hawaiian Punch” principle, different compartments of the secretory and endocytic pathways are topologically equivalent to each other and to the extracellular space. Explain how vesicular transport generates this topological equivalence. These compartments are topologically equivalent because molecules can move between them without having to move out of the cell. Transport vesicles cause this “topological equivalence” because they are responsible for the actual movement of the molecules mentioned above. They break off from one compartment, carrying the necessary molecules, and then fuse to its targeted compartment; thus, making the compartments topologically equivalent. During mitosis in mammalian cells, the nuclear envelope breaks down into vesicles. Are the topological properties of the cell altered by this event? Justify your answer.

Name the three classes of membrane transport proteins. Explain which one or ones of these classes is able to move glucose and which can move bicarbonate (HCO3 −) against an electrochemical gradient.

Why are cotransporters often referred to as examples of secondary active transport?
