Multiple Choice
1. The subcellular structure that degrades proteins is called the:
A. Tight junction
B. Mitochondria
C. Lysosome
D. Plasma membrane
E. Ribosome
ANS: C
2. An experiment is done to measure the uptake of an amino acid into a cell. The follo
wing data are obtained:
N
If Na+ is removed from the extracellular bathing solution, or if a drug is added that prevent
s the cell from making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the uptake of amino acid into the c
ell is markedly reduced. According to this information, which of the followingmechanism
s is probably responsible for the transport of the amino acid into the cell?
A. Passive diffusion through the lipid bilayer
B. Uniporter
C. Transport ATPase
D. Na+ symporter
E. Na+ antiporter
ANS: D
3. A membrane permeable by only Na+ separates two compartments containi
ng Na2SO4,shown as follows:

A is held at 0 mV). What voltage applied to compartment B would resultin no net move
ment of Na+ across the membrane separating the compartments?
A. –60 mV
B. –30 mV
C. 0 mV
D. +30 mV
E.
+60 m
V ANS: E
