63) Study the figure below CAREFULLY and answer the questions about the membrane transporters shown. Clearly print the best and most-specific answer to each question below in the boxes. (10 points) glulowSGLT 2 SGLT [glu] high [glu] low glu Na* GLUT 3 Na* Na] K* a) For the transporter (1) above, what term best describes it in terms of the number of substances e diiee pasS1 b) c) d) For transporter (1) above, what term best describes it in terms of its energy requirements? What general category of membrane transporter is labeled (2) above? By what process is glucose moving through membrane transporter (2)? Choose from simple diffusion facilitated diffusion, active transport, or vesicular ation aro For transporter (3) above, what term best describes it in terms of e) Amti port f) g) h) What is the specific name of the transporter labeled For transporter (3), what term best describes it in Potassium is leaving the bottom-right corner of this cell through what general category of membrane transporter? Imagine that a drug is given that specifically blocked all the membrane transporter like (3) on this cell. Although only one is shown in this diagram, this cell would have many transporters like (3) all over its cell membrane. How would this drug eventually affect the rate of transport through transporter (212 Clearly but briefly, EXPLAIN the rationale behind your answer by focusing on HOW a change at transporters like (3) can affect the action of transporter (2)-(2 points) i)

Explanation / Answer

Answer for H: Na+/K+ pump

The process of moving sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane is an active transport process. It is possible by hydrolysis of ATP to provide the necessary energy. It involves an enzyme referred to as Na+/K+-ATPase.
