(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.
