which of the following is an example of passive transport? 1 point
facilitated diffusion of glucose
the sodium - potassium pump
sodium - glucose symporter
atp - driven transport
endocytosis

an increase in aquaporins in the membranes of blood vessel epithelial cells will result in * 1 point
an increase in the flow of na+ through aquaporins.
an increase in the intracellular concentration of k+.
the increase of glucose transport into the bloodstream.
an increase in the permeability of blood vessels to water.
an alteration in the electrical properties of the cells.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Lipids are a diverse group and do not have a single monomer. Amino acids are monomers of proteins, simple sugars of carbohydrates, fatty acids are part - components of some lipids but not a universal monomer, and nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids.
  2. The bond between two simple sugars is a glycosidic linkage. Ester linkages are in lipids, phosphodiester linkages in nucleic acids, peptide linkages in proteins, and hydrogen linkages are non - covalent interactions.
  3. The bond between two amino acids is a peptide linkage. Glycosidic linkages are in carbohydrates, phosphodiester linkages in nucleic acids, ester linkages in lipids, and hydrogen linkages are non - covalent.
  4. Passive transport does not require energy. Facilitated diffusion of glucose is a form of passive transport. The sodium - potassium pump, sodium - glucose symporter, and ATP - driven transport are active transport processes, and endocytosis is a form of bulk transport.
  5. Aquaporins are water - channel proteins. An increase in aquaporins in the membranes of blood vessel epithelial cells will increase the permeability of blood vessels to water. They are specific for water and do not allow the passage of sodium ions or affect potassium concentration or glucose transport or electrical properties directly.

Answer:

  1. there isn't one
  2. glycosidic linkage
  3. peptide linkage
  4. facilitated diffusion of glucose
  5. an increase in the permeability of blood vessels to water
