The electrochemical potential that is found across cell membranes can play a role in what types of processes?
Choose all that apply
the movement of a muscle
the uptake of molecules against a concentration gradient
the transmission of a nervous system signal
the exchange of gases between capillaries and surrounding cells
Answer:
the transmission of a nervous system signal
Explanation: Differential concentration of Na+ and K+ ions across the membrane establishes membrane potential which aids in the transmission of a nervous system signal.

FILL THE BLANK The membranes of fishes that live in extreme cold have a high proportion of _________________ hydrocarbon tails, enabling them to stay fluid.For example, cold-adapted organisms such as winter wheat increase the percentage of _________________ phospholipids in their membranes in the autumn to prevent the membranes from solidifying during winter.There are two major populations of membrane proteins: ___________ and _____________.Integral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer, usually completely spanning the membrane as ________________ proteins.________________ proteins...
Lo 10: Electrochemical Gradient The difference in voltage across the membrane is called the __________________________________. The inside of a normal cell is ___________________ (+/-); while the outside is ___________(+/-). The resting membrane potential of a neuron is ___________mV. Diagram the relative ratios of Ca++, Na+ and K+ in a cell under resting conditions. Draw an arrow for each of the molecules indicating which direction would be passive transport (into or out of the cell). For each of the following sentences, fill in...

Discard the answers I chose Match the following scenarios with the most specific type of transport used. Some choices may be used more than once. A A white blood cell enguits a bacterial cell A A paramecium swims close to some debris, wraps its membrane around the debris, and pulsit inside, creating a food Vacuole D. An amoeba wraps its cell membrane around a region of dissolved nutrients in water and pulls it inward, making a small vacuole A Phagocytosis...
Roles of the Na+/ K+ pump 1. Maintain the Nat/K+ concentration gradicnt across the plasma membrane. (That's obvious) 2. It plays a role in maintaining the resting membrane potential. Why? 3. The steep electrochemical gradient of Na+ is used in "coupled active transport" (coupled pumps). If the Nat/K+ pump stops, then these Na+ coupled transport mechanisms will also eventually stop. Explain The apical surface of the epithelial cells that line the lumen of the gut contains a symport that used...
8. The movement of protons out of the mitochondrial matrix establishes an electrochemical H gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The electrochemical potential of this gradient is harnessed to synthesize ATP. This is known as the (A) Hydrophobic effect IqChemiosmotic theory (B) Acid catalysis (0) Michaelis-Menten mechanism _9. Which of the following statements about mitochondria and their lon and metabolite transporters is FALSE? (A) Controlled impermeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane to most ions and metabolites allows for the generation...
