Question:
A certain membrane protein allows phosphate groups to enter a eukaryotic cell.
(a) Would you expect the protein to function more like KcsA or more like GLUT1?
(b) Phosphate ions enter the cell along with H+ ions. Describe this transport system using the terms introduced in Fig. 10-15.
Figure 10-15
(c) The eukaryotic intracellular pH is typically slightly lower than the extracellular pH. Does this suggest that the phosphate transporter carries out secondary active transport?
Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Step by Step Answer:
a The phosphate transporter would be more like KcsA than GLUT1 Both KcsA and the phosphate transporter are ion channels that allow ions to move across the plasma membrane down their electrochemical gradient GLUT1 on the other hand is a transporter that uses facilitated diffusion to move glucose across the plasma membrane against its concentration gradient b The transport ...View the full answer
