10. INTERPRET DATA GLUT 4 is a glucose transporter that functions in adipose (fat) cell plasma membranes. An analysis of adipose cells exposed to insulin showed that a single cell could import glucose at a maximum rate of about 1×108 molecules/second. Under the same conditions, unstimulated cells could only transport a maximum of about 1×107 molecules/second. What does this finding tell you about the relative number of GLUT 4 transporters functioning in the plasma membranes of stimulated versus unstimulated cells?

- Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 The role of ATP hydrolysis in actin polymerizationis similar to the role of GTP hydrolysis in tubulin polym-erization: both serve to weaken the bonds in the polymerand thereby promote depolymerization.2 Motor neurons trigger action potentials in musclecell membranes that open voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channelsin T tubules, allowing extracellular Ca2+ to enter the cyto-sol, bind to troponin C, and initiate rapid muscle contrac-tion.3 In most animal cells, minus-end directed microtu-bule motors deliver their cargo to the periphery of the cell,whereas plus-end directed microtubule motors delivertheir cargo to the interior of the cell.arrow_forwardCalculate the number of cells in the body of an average 68-kg (150-lb) adult. (This will only be accurate to about 1 part in 10 but should give you an idea how scientists estimate this commonly quoted number.) Assume all cells are spheres 20 m in diameter. The volume of a sphere can be determined by the equation v=4/33. (Hint: We know that about two thirds of the water in the body is intracellular and the density of cells is nearly 1 g/mL. The proportion of the mass made up of water is about 60%.)arrow_forwardK+ [Select] [Select] A Na+ Primary active transport is being shown by transporter [Select] which uses [Select] ATP [Select] B The transported molecules in this mechanism are being moved [Select] to move Glucose active transport is being shown by transporter [Select] which uses the gradient. Secondary to move against the gradient. When both the molecules move through a transporter in the same direction as in B, this type of transport is called antiport.arrow_forward

O T1 is most likely a cell that expresses a high affinity transporter for glucose. T2 is most likely a cell that expresses a high affinity transporter for glucose. T1 must be a cell expressing the insulin-dependent glucose transporter. Each transporter has a similar Vmax and therefore both T1 and T2 are the same cell type.arrow_forwardin human 2. Human xanthine oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. For the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. several medications are used to inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase and reduce the production of uric acid. You are a biochemist and just discovered a chemical that can inhibit the activity of the human xanthine oxidase. When analyzing its mode of inhibition, you found that the enzyme inhibitor complex requires 450 kJ.mol to dissociate and that it displays kinetics somehow similar to noncompetitive inhibition. You sent your inhibitor to the ministry of health for approval as a medication for gout. Based on the data provided, are they going to authorize it as a medication or not? Explain?arrow_forward
- O Att Intestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the Nat-glucose symporter. Recall that the Nat concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Nat ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Nat concentration outside the cell ([Na lout) is 161 mM and that inside the cell ([Na* Jm) is 17.0 mM, and the cell potential is -50.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell. Assume the temperature is 37 °C. What is the maximum ratio of (glucose] to [glucoselout 10.62 kJ AG gluc mol that could theoretically be produced if the energy Incorrect 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.
