Numbers 35 and 36 are expanded multiple choice questions. Please read the descriptions carefully and draw some conclusion about the appropriate explanations. Please choose the2 best answers for each. (4 pts each/ 8 total/52 overall)

35.___ You are analyzing a cell and noteprotein molecules that are organized with the following regions (domains). The protein has a portion of its structure composed of a number (approx. 15-20) of hydrophobic amino acids that areembedded in the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane, there are 12 of these regions in the proteins structure . The protein has anextracellular domain that includes a structure that can bend or flex so that it can extend straight out from the rest of the protein orfold over the extracellular surface of the protein. You note that as the concentration of Na+ (sodium ions) in the extracellular environment increases the protein changes shape so that itsextracellular domain flexes and points directly out from the protein surface. This change in shape exposes anopen passage that extends through the protein. When this occurs you note that the Na+ readily pass through thisstable passage whilesimultaneously molecules of NAD+ also move through another region of the open protein passage. The materials moving through the membrane are both seen tomove towards their lower concentration in the intracellular space. The description of this protein suggests that it is ….. (mark all appropriate choices//2).

A. Clearly this is a description of a protein that is triggered to change shape by a change in the ion concentrations in the extracellular environment and allow the facilitated diffusion of Na+.

B. The change in shape of this protein clearly points to an active transport carrier protein associated with the regulation of ion concentration in the cell.

C. This protein is definitely a kind of antiport carrier protein that is performing cotransport and therefore should be designated a cotransporter protein.

D. This seems to best fit a transmembrane protein classified as a gated channel and in addition it should be called a symport protein.

E. This is the type of receptor protein that is commonly associated with receptor mediated endocytosis and is responsible for the uptake of NAD+ from the environment.


36.___ While you are investigating the movement of materials through bacterial cell membranes you note the following. The cells areactively utilizing ATPs to push a large number ofprotons (H+) into the extracellular space. The charge of the exterior of the cell becomes much more positive relative to the intracellular space and theexternal pH drops rapidly. The cells you are culturing are being provided with glucose molecules as a nutrient source but havedepleted much of theglucose in their environment. The bacterial cellsmust actively move glucose molecules from the extracellular environment to the cytosol to maintain their metabolic activity and growth. As you observe the cells you note asimultaneous increase in theintracellular glucose concentrationand an increase in thepH of the extracellular environment. Thisprocess continues as the bacterial cell works topump protons from the cell and at thesame time glucose continues toconcentrate in the interior of the cell. These events most clearly point to the cell …… (mark all appropriate choices // 2)

A. This cell is definitely producing a strong concentration of glucose molecules inside the cell by the facilitated diffusion of the glucose across the membrane.

B. This cell is able to concentrate the glucose in this way due to the facilitated diffusion of protons through an H+/glucose cotransporter protein.

C. The protein involved in the movement of the Hydrogen ions to the cell exterior is functioning as an antiport active transport channel protein.

D. The protein that performs the concentration of glucose in the cell must be a symport carrier protein that uses proton movement to power active transport.

E. This is clearly a situation that the organisms cannot maintain and with time the organisms will establish an equilibrium situation with equal concentrations of protons on both sides of the membrane.
