a.Suppose that the [Ca2+ ] outside of a cell is 4*10-2 M, and the [Ca2+ ] inside the cell is 8*10-3 M. If the Ca2+ ions were to move into the cell, what transport process would be used? Circle the correct answer from the list below. - Active transport: receptor mediated endocytosis - Passive transport: diffusion - Active transport: exocytosis - Passive transport: osmosis - Active transport: protein pumps - Active transport: phagocytosis - Passive transport: facilitated diffusion - Active transport: pinocytosis b) Considering your answer for part a) of this question, would the rate of movement of Ca2+ across the membrane be constant or variable?

Concentrations of calcium ions (Ca2+) are generally very low inside cells. If Ca2+ is present in high concentrations outside the cell, which of the following transport mechanisms would be the most appropriate and efficient for transporting Ca2+ into the cell? a carrier protein Under the same conditions, what type of transport mechanism would be appropriate to move Ca2+ out of the cell? primary active transport (a "pump") Given the normal Ca2+ gradient initially described above, suppose that another molecule "X" can be transported into the cells by secondary active transport, using the gradient of calcium ions for energy. Given that secondary active transport is being used to transport "X", what must the concentration gradient of "X" look like? "X" is low inside the cell, and high outside

Calcium ions (Ca2+) are an important second messenger in signalling pathways. Which of the following types of cell transport would directly impact the ability to use this second messenger if this mechanism of transport was absent due to a defect? More than one answer can apply so choose ALL that do. Marks will be deducted for incorrect responses. Select one or more: a. Osmosis. b. Active transport. c. Exocytosis. d. Simple diffusion. e. Facilitated diffusion.
