Multiple choice biology multicellular structure: tissue muscle tissue structure of protein muscle tissues

Phosphagen in vertebrates is

  1. Phospho creatine

  2. Phospho arginine

  3. ATP

  4. Phosphoric acid

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The phosphagens are energy storage compounds, also known as high-energy phosphate compounds. They are chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals. ATP molecules can provide energy for only a few seconds of strenuous muscular activity. Thus muscle cells have backup energy storage compound, creatine phosphate, that can be stockpiled. The energy stored in creatine phosphate is transferred to ATP as needed. But during vigorous exercise, the supply of creatine phosphate is quickly depleted. Muscle cells must replenish their supplies of these energy-rich compounds. Chemical energy is stored in muscle fibers in glycogen, a large polysaccharide formed from hundreds of glucose molecules. Glycogen can be degraded, yielding glucose, which is then degraded in cellular respiration. When sufficient oxygen is available, enough energy is captured from glucose to produce needed quantities of ATP and creatine phosphate.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Active transport from outside to the inside of molecules across a membrane requires ATP. It is required in transferring solutes across the membrane may be through an ATPase which creates ph gradient across the membrane. Thus, the correct option is C.

Energy is required for

  1. Active transport

  2. Facilitated transport

  3. Diffusion

  4. All of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
In one form of transport across the cell membrane, called active transport, ATP is utilized. The utilization of an ATP molecule provides the cell with an energy boost which enables the transport of different molecules across the cell membrane.
So, the correct answer is 'Active transport'.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following processes requires the greatest expenditure of energy by the cell?

  1. Facilitated diffusion

  2. Diffusion

  3. Active transport

  4. Osmosis

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
In one form of transport across the cell membrane, ATP is utilized. The utilization of an ATP molecule provides the cell with an energy boost which enables the transport of different molecules across the cell membrane. This is termed as active transport of molecules across the cell membrane.

So, the correct answer is 'Active transport'.
Multiple choice biology movement in and out of the cell transport of molecules osmosis and plasmolysis plant water relation

Active transport

  1. Releases energy

  2. Requires energy

  3. Produces ATP

  4. Produces a toxic substance

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

There are two types of absorption mechanisms i.e., active and passive transport. Active transport is the movement of solute or solvent molecules against the concentration gradient. It requires the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice biology movement in and out of the cell transport of molecules osmosis and plasmolysis plant water relation

Active transport across cell membrane requires

  1. Glucose

  2. Steroids

  3. Energy in the form ATP

  4. Proteins and glucose

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In active transport, substances move against a concentration gradient across a cell membrane. Hence energy is required. The energy available in the body in the form of ATP is used to move this substance across the cell membrane. Thus the correct answer is option C.

Multiple choice biology movement in and out of the cell transport of molecules osmosis and plasmolysis plant water relation

Active transport across biomembrane involves

  1. Production of ATP

  2. Requirement of energy

  3. Production of toxin

  4. Release of energy

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • Active transport is a process by which molecules move across the cell membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration against the concentration gradient using energy.
  • This energy requirement is fulfilled by the ATP molecules (metabolic energy).
  • The substances which are transported across the cell membrane by active transport are- Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Requirement of energy'.

Explanation

Active transport is a physiological or biological process mediated by membrane proteins, not a simple chemical reaction. It relies on ATP, uses carrier proteins, and is highly sensitive to metabolic inhibitors and enzymes that regulate these proteins.

D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Active transport can be defined as the movement of molecules or ions across a plasma membrane from a region of lower concentration (of molecules or ions) to a region of higher concentration, against the concentration gradient. 
  • For this cellular energy is required which is available in the form of ATP molecule and enzymes.
  • So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

Explanation
Enzyme Catalysis:
The enzymes are also termed as biochemical catalysts and the phenomenon is known as biochemical catalysis. Enzymes are highly specific in nature.

Enzyme activators are molecules that bind to enzymes and increase their activity. They are the opposite of enzyme inhibitors. These molecules are often involved in the allosteric regulation of enzymes in the control of metabolism.
