On which side of the vesicle membrane are the carbohydrates? a)Interior surface of the vesicle membrane b)Exterior (cytoplasmic) surface of the vesicle membrane

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings For Questions 3-7 An artificial cell consisting of an aqueous solution enclosed in a selectively permeable membrane has just been immersed in a beaker containing a different solution. The membrane is permeable to water and to the simple sugars glucose and fructose but completely impermeable to the disaccharide sucrose.

First the cells plasmolyze; after a few minutes, the plasmolysis reverses and the cells appear normal. What would you conclude about the unknown solute? a)It is hypertonic to the plant cells, and its solute can not cross the pant cell membranes. b)It is hypotonic to the plant cells, and its solute can not cross the pant cell membranes. c)It is isotonic to the plant cells, but its solute can cross the plant cell membranes. d)It is hypertonic to the plant cells, but its solute can cross the plant cell membranes. e)It is hypotonic to the plant cells, but its solute can cross the plant cell membranes.

11. Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 8.An experiment is designed to study the mechanism of sucrose uptake by plant cells. Cells are immersed in a sucrose solution, and the pH of the solution is monitored with a pH meter. Samples of the cells are taken at intervals, and the sucrose in the sampled cells is measured. The measurements show that sucrose uptake by the cells correlates with a rise in the pH of the surrounding solution. The magnitude of the pH change is proportional to the starting concentration of sucrose in the extracellular solution. A metabolic poison known to block the ability of cells to regenerate ATP is found to inhibit the pH changes in the extracellular solution. Based on this information which of the following statements would you predict is correct? * a)Sucrose uptake is the result of simple diffusion b)Hydrogen ion movement is the result of facilitated diffusion. c)Sucrose moving through the membrane forces hydrogen ions in to the cell d)Sucrose and Hydrogen ions are transported in opposite directions across the membrane e)Sucrose transport is the result of a hydrogen ion contransporter.
