(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The concentration gradient of protons across the epithelial membrane.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The free energy change associated with the secretion of 1 mole of protons into gastric juice at 37°C.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: If proton transport can be driven by ATP hydrolysis at the ratio of one molecule of ATP per protein transported.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The membrane potential that would be required to prevent proton to move back into the cell.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involves the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide energy. The gastric juice in the human stomach has a pH of 2.0. This acidity is due to the secretion of protons into the stomach by the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa.

Many compounds taste sweet to humans. Sweet taste results when a molecule binds to the sweet receptor, one type of taste receptor, on the surface of certain tongue cells. The stronger the binding, the lower the concentration required to saturate the receptor and the sweeter a givenconcentration of that substance tastes. The standard free-energy change, ΔG°, of the binding reaction between a sweet molecule and a sweet receptor can be measured in kilojoules or kilocalories per mole.Sweet taste can be quantified in units of “molar relative sweetness” (MRS), a measure that compares the sweetness of a substance to the sweetness of sucrose. For example, saccharin has an MRS of 161; this means that saccharin is 161 times sweeter than sucrose. In practical terms, this is measured by asking human subjects to compare the sweetness ofsolutions containing different concentrations of each compound. Sucrose and saccharin taste equally sweet when sucrose is at a concentration 161 times higher than…
Multiple Choice. Imagine a solution containing only water, sodium, and glucose. If a voltage is applied to the solution, glucose would move: (a) There would be no net movement of glucose (b) In the opposite direction of sodium (c) In the same direction and speed as sodium (d) In the same direction as sodium, but slower. (e) In the same direction as sodium, but faster.
