Osmotic Stability Quiz

1.What is the primary consequence if the Na+/K+ ATPase pump fails due to hypoxia?

2.How does the sodium-potassium pump act as an 'osmotic counterweight'?

3.What creates the permanent osmotic pull drawing water into a resting cell?

4.True or False: In secondary active transport, a molecule like glucose uses ATP directly to move against its concentration gradient.

5.Why is the Na+/K+ ATPase considered electrogenic?

6.Think about the concept of the 'sodium gradient' as a cellular battery. How is this energy primarily utilized by the cell?

7.Which of the following describes the thermodynamic drive of a concentration gradient?

8.If a toxin specifically blocked the sodium-glucose cotransporter without affecting the Na+/K+ ATPase, what would be the immediate effect on the sodium gradient?

9.According to the evolutionary history discussed, why do human cells maintain high potassium concentrations inside rather than high sodium?

10.True or False: The osmotic gradient is driven entirely by the thermodynamic favorability of diluting solutes.
