Question
Chapter 36, Problem 1SYK
Summary Introduction
To describe: The ways in which the solutes might move across the plasma membrane in plants.
Introduction: All the cells in a plant are surrounded or protected by a semipermeable membrane called a plasma membrane. This membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer; in addition, lipid molecules and proteins are present. Plasma membrane helps in keeping the toxic substances out of the cell.

In the process of exocytosis, vesicles coming from the inside of the cell fuse with the plasma membrane which travels across the membrane to be released outside the cell. This type of transport usually applies to enzymes and hormones. Can you cite an Texample in plants where this form of transport is beneficial? How about in animals?
Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurred
Consider a plant that is exposed to extreme cold temperatures. Do the cells of this plant manipulate the composition of their membranes in response to this environmental stress?If not, explain why the plant does not manipulate membrane composition in response to this stress.If so, explain the specific changes that these cells would carry out in response to this environmental stress.

- What condition do plant cells prefer (hypotonic/isotonic/hypertonic)?arrow_forwardWhat is the membrane potential? Is the outside of theplasma membrane positively or negatively chargedcompared with the inside?arrow_forwardIn conditions of dehydration, plant cells can increase their water retention by regulating the function of some or all of their aquaporins, membrane-bound protein channels that allow water to move through the cell membrane via facilitated diffusion. Which of the following describes a likely mechanism by which aquaporins can be used to regulate the movement of water across the plant cell membrane? A B с D Synthesis of additional aquaporins by the plant cell ribosomes will allow the cell to coun- teract the movement of water out of the cell. Inhibition of ATP hydrolysis will make the aquaporins unable to remove water from the cell and cause more water to remain in the cell. Inactivation of aquaporins will make water molecules unable to move across the plant cell membrane and allow more water to remain in the cell. Inhibition of the plant cell Golgi apparatus will decrease the production rate of vesicles and slow down the exocytosis of water molecules.arrow_forward

Using different symbols (circles for oxygen, squares for sucrose, and triangles for potassium ions), show the relative concentrations (gradients) of these substances on the inside and outside of the cell. For example, to show that oxygen enters the cell by going “down” its gradient, you would draw more circles on the outside of the cell than inside the cell. Be sure to show and label membrane proteins when appropriate, and show the electric membrane potential using “+”s (pluses) on one side and “-”s (minuses) on the other side of the membrane. Also show the proton pump which uses ATP as a source of energy.arrow_forward1) A plant cell with a pressure potential of 5 bars and an osmotic potential of -9 bars is in equilibrium with a surrounding solution that is open to the air.
