- Why are osmotically drive membrane processes (ODMPs) not been practically installed? What is the main theory to explain this?arrow_forwardThe following type(s) of gradient can drive different fluxes across the cell membrane: Voltage gradient. Pressure gradient. Concentration gradient. Osmotic pressure gradient. All of the above.arrow_forwardThe outward movement of protons (H+), and the inward movement of sodium ions (Na+), across the plasma membrane of a muscle cell (using the existing sodium gradient), is: one example of facilitated diffusion one example of an antiport system one example of a symport system one example of a uniport system one example of simple diffusionarrow_forward
- Water could moves across plasma member through simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, energy is not required True Falsearrow_forwardHow do two alpha-helices at the constriction point of the Aquaporin 5 transporter protein prevent H3O+ molecules from forming a H+ wire that prevents the transport of H₂O molecules across the membrane? alpha-helices have inverted dipoles that reorient H₂O molecules in the channel to break H₂O/H₂O H-bonds. alpha-helices are amphipathic and can reorient H₂O molecules in the channel to break H₂O/H₂O H-bonds O alpha-helices have inverted dipoles that reorient H3O+ molecules in the channel to form H3O*/ H3O+ H-bonds. O alpha-helices have parallel dipoles that align H₂O molecules in the channel to break H₂O/H2₂O H-bonds. alpha-helices have Lys residues that reorient H₂O molecules in the channel to break H₂O/H₂O H-bonds.arrow_forwardHow is the rate of diffusion affected by an increasedconcentration gradient? By increased temperature of asolution? By increased viscosity of the solvent?arrow_forward
