(Question 1 continued) (h) Suggest how sodium-potassium pumps in the membranes of nephron cells in the kidney could allow blood sodium concentrations to be reduced, if there is sufficient potassium in the dit a (h) a. the sodium-potassium pump transports (three) sodium atoms out of the cell and (two) potassium atoms into the cell; bb, more potassium means more sodium can be sent out of the cells; c. a fall in potassium means more sodium is reabsorbed/remains in the cells; (a) State four functions of proteins, giving a named example of each. 4 transport: eg: hemoglobin; 7 transport of molecules across membrane: eg: sodium potassium pump; y structure: eg: collagen; catalysis: eg: amylase: immunity/protection: eg: IgA / antibodies (named antibody not required); movement: eg: myosin; tegulation/homeostasis: eg: insulin; binding sites for hormones (named)/neurotransmitters (name not needed); Accept any other function with a named protein. —Onlv accent the first four stated. 1 MIS/ABIOLOMPRIENGITZ 100 {Question 2 continued) (b) The clagram below shows the structure of aise, sce: Kyron RL Mle, The Ue Azan, Taczon AZUSA) (dont the pron structures inictod by land I.
