In studying a transporter, it is found that no external energy input is needed to facilitate the movement of a neutral compound through the transporter. The translocation rate of the compound reaches a plateau at high levels of compound.

It is a(n) passive transport carrier, or passive transport channel

4. In the case of active transport, the Na+/K+ pump undergoes a sequence of conformational changes that allows the movement of Na+ and K+ across a membrane against their electrochemical gradients, while in the case of ER protein import SRP undergoes a sequence of conformational changes to allow the signal sequence to interact with the translocation pore. What drives these conformational changes?

a) hydrolysis of a high energy phosphate bond

b) binding of a solute or protein

c) both

d) neither

5. Is protein import into the ER co-transcriptional, or co-translational?

You are in the library researching the mechanisms that eukaryotic cells use to acidify some of their organelles. In several particular species of amoeba, you find that the cells use a H+ ATPase (AKA a proton pump) to acidify the inside of their lysosomes, while many plant cells use a proton/Cl- antiporter to keep the interior of their vacuoles at a pH of ~6.3. Compare these two mechanisms of proton transfer, specifying what is allowing the H+ to enter these organelles. In your answer, specify whether each of these mechanisms is an example of simple diffusion, passive transport, or active transport. Would these transporter proteins be channels or carriers? If a mechanism is an example of active transport, specify how the energy requirement for transfer is being satisfied.
