True or false?
1.) Uniport transport of glucose across the plasma membrane occurs faster than passive diffusion of glucose across the membrane.
2.) The specific binding of a labelled agonist to its receptor is calculated by subtracting non-specifically bound labelled agonist from the total amount of bound labelled agonist.
Homework Answers
1. true- uniport transport of glucose (GLU T1-Transporter protein) occurs through facilitated diffusion by carrier proteins, because glucose has high molecular weight it cannot cross the membrane as such so it is facilitated through carrier proteins and it is a spontaneous process, passive diffusion of glucose is not possible due to its high molecular weight.
2. true- agonists of different specificity is labelled and it is evaluated for its specifity. let us assume that total number of agonists allowing for binding is 10, the specific agonists binds with receptor. the non specific agonists are 4. therefore the specific one is calculated by subracting the non-specific from total number i.e., 10-4=6
