Question 1
Question
How will a small decrease in extracellular sodium ion concentrations affect sodium transport across the plasma membrane.
Answer
-
Sodium ions will continue to move via simple diffusion into the cell.
-
Sodium ions will still flow into the cell, but at a slightly slower rate.
-
The direction of sodium ion movement will be reversed.
-
Sodium transporters will require energy to pump the ions against their gradient.
-
None of these answers is correct.
Question 2
Question
Which of the following is true about carbon dioxide transport?
Answer
-
It diffuses freely across membranes.
-
It require a carrier protein to diffuse into cells.
-
Carbon dioxide and oxygen are transported in/out of the cell through an anti-porter.
-
It is converted to bicarbonate in erythrocytes and transported from the body to the lungs.
-
None of the above
Question 3
Question
Based on the patch clamp recording shown here, which of the following is true.
Answer
-
The channel being recorded spends more time open than it does closed.
-
The flow of ions through the channel is indicated by the increase in current.
-
Sodium flows through the channel more often than calcium.
-
The channel allows both negative and positive ions to flow through.
-
None of these is true.
Question 4
Question
Binding of a ligand to its receptor of the cell membrane can directly cause:
Answer
-
Opening of an ion channel.
-
Activation of a carrier protein.
-
Endocytosis.
-
None of the above.
Question 5
Question
Glucose moves _____ its concentration gradient from the intestinal lumen into cells, and then ________ its gradient across the basal lamina.
Answer
-
up, up
-
up, down
-
down, up
-
down, down
Question 6
Question
Decreasing the proton concentration in the mitochondrial intermembrane space would __________ the production of ATP, via ATP synthase, an ______________________.
Answer
-
increase, F-type pump
-
Increase, ABC transporter
-
Decrease, F-type pump
-
Decrease, ABC transporter
Question 7
Question
Caffeine is an agonist for the ryanodine receptor. What effect would an increase in intracellular caffeine have on muscle cells? Why? There may be multiple correct answers.
Answer
-
Muscle cells would contract more often because calcium would be released more often from the SR.
-
Muscles would become more stiff because calcium would be removed from the cell more quickly.
-
Muscle contraction would be stronger because more calcium would be released into the cytoplasm.
-
None of these.
Question 8
Question
In which answer have the molecule been correctly arranged by their ability to freely diffuse across the plasma membrane, from least to most permeable.
Answer
-
Ethanol, K+, nitrous oxide (NO), glucose.
-
Sodium ions, glucose, oxygen, water.
-
Protons , glucose, ethanol, carbon dioxide.
-
Water, Cl-, glucose, nitrous oxide (NO).
Question 9
Question
Which of the following are true about voltage-gated ion channels?
Answer
-
Size of pore and ability of channel to strip ion of water molecules determines which ions are allowed through.
-
They only participate in passive transport.
-
Most of them are opened by depolarization.
-
Some of them contain an inactivating loop.
Question 10
Question
__________________ ATPases are responsible for pumping protons ________ their electrochemical gradient into vesicles. The proton gradient is then used to transport neurotransmitter __________ the vesicles.
Answer
-
V-type, up, into
-
F-type, up, out of
-
V-type, down, into
-
F-type, up, into
-
ABC, up, out of
