Explanation / Answer

12. c. uniport

Explanation- Uniport proteins (ion channels or carrier proteins) are involved in facilitated diffusion. Voltage-gated sodium pumps are a perfect example of uniport which helps in the propagation of a nerve impulse across the neuron.

13. b. symport

Explanation- Symport is a type of membrane protein which transports two substances in the same direction at the same time. Na+ transporter transport Na+ ions and glucose.

14. a. voltage gated

Explanation- Voltage gated channels are a specific type of ion channels which are activated by the alteration of membrane protein conformation with the change of membrane potential in the vicinity of the ion channel. Na+ channels are highly active in neurons to raise the action potentials. So they are classified as voltage gated ion channels.

15. c. activation of the Na+ channel

Explanation- Na+ ion channels are voltage gated and largely present in neurons to raise the action potential across the membrane. They change their conformation in 3 forms- resting, active and inactive states. Among them the active phase is the working phase.
