Question

1. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether the statement is correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your answer. Your answer should demonstrate your understanding of the physiological concepts underlying the statement and+ be professionally written. Both transmembrane carrier proteins and transmembrane channel proteins can mediate active transport of a hydrophilic solute through a cell plasma membrane. 2. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether the statement is correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your answer. Your answer should demonstrate your understanding of the physiological concepts underlying the statement and be professionally written. Assume a cell with the following properties: [Nalout 120 mM; [Nalin 12 mM [Klout 5 mM; [Klin 125 mM Membrane is permeable only to Na and K* If the plasma membrane of the cell becomes more permeable to Nat, both influx of Nat into the cell and the Na equilibrium potential will increase

Explanation / Answer

(1)Transmembrane channels are the proteins which only transport molecules passively or actively differentiating them only on the basis of size.These do not require energy.As hydrophilic molecules are highly rejected by hyrophobic plasma membrane they require transmembrane carrier protiens which bind to them and carry them into the cell with the help of energy.So,this statement is not correct.
