Plant cells have a vacuole membrane-associated H+ ATPase that pumps protons out of the cytosol and into the lumen of the vacuole in order to acidify this organelle. What would you expect be the net effect of this pump on the resting membrane potential across the PLASMA MEMBRANE (charge in the cytosol) in plant cells?
A. The membrane potential is not affected by H+ transport.
B. The membrane potential would become more positive.
C. The membrane potential would become more negative.
D. The membrane potential is not affected by ion transport in other organelles.
The membrane potential of cell is generated because of the unequal distribution of ions between the extracellualr side and intracellular side of a cell. It is not affected by the intercellular compartmental transport of ions because the overall intracellular ionic concentration remains unchanged. So, in case of vacuole, the transport of H+ ions will make no change in membrane potential as transport of ions to other organelles does not affect membrane potential. Hence, option D is correct.

questions, and 5 free-response questions. D Question 6 The lysosome... O membrane contains H+ pumps that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump protons out of the organelle and into the cytosol degrades proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, but phospholipids cannot be hydrolyzed in this compartment. O can degrade misfolded proteins but not damaged organelles. O contains hydrolytic enzymes that are synthesized as zymogens. O contains hydrolytic enzymes that function optimally at neutral pH.

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...
QUESTION 5 Animal cells have a negative membrane potential; why is this O A. All of these answers are correct B. Respiration produces an abundance of acidic metabolites. C. None of these answers are correct OD. Proton pumps in the plasma membrane pump H+ out of the cell. O E. Sodium-potassium pumps export more Na+ than they import K+ into the cell.
_____membranes proteins are associated with the bilayer through interactions with other membrane component on the surface of the membrane. Net movement of particles from a region where they are more concentrated to a region where they are law concentrated is called Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane down its own concentration gradient It called A solution with an equivalent concentration of water and hence the tame osmotic pressure as the fluid inside the cell is said to be...

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...
