The role of N-terminus and the C-terminus region of the cryptochrome is given below;

a) N-terminal region is involved in the dimerization of cryptochrome and conformational changes

b) C terminus of cryptochrome forms a complex with SPA1 and COP1 that prevents them from acting, thereby preventing the degradation of HY5

c) N-terminal region of cryptochrome forms a complex with SPA1 and COP1 that prevents them from acting, thereby preventing the degradation of HY5

d) Arabidopsis plants overexpressing only the C-terminal region of cryptochrome (CCT) which resemble light-grown seedlings when grown in darkness

Following statements are regarding to the CFTR.

A. cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator allows Cl− ions to flow out of the cell, following their concentration gradient.

B. ATP binding to CFTR’s two nucleotide-binding domains appears to close the Cl− channel, and the hydrolysis of one ATP opens it (the other ATP remains intact).

C. the CFTR channel can open only if its regulatory domain (which is unique among ABC transporters) has been phosphorylated, thus regulating the flow of ions across the membrane.

D. The maintenance of electrical neutrality requires that the Cl− ions transported by the CFTR be accompanied by positively charged ions, mainly Na+. The transported ions are osmotically accompanied by water, thus maintaining the proper level of fluidity in secretions of the airways, intestinal tract, and the ducts of the pancreas, testes, and sweat glands.

Following statements are regarding to cotransport.

A. The two forces constituting the electrochemical gradient—the membrane electric potential and the ion concentration gradient—may act in the same or opposite directions.

B. Cotransporters use the energy released by movement of an ion (usually H+ or Na+) down its electrochemical gradient to power the import or export of a small molecule or different ion against its concentration gradient.

C. Cotransporters use the energy released by movement of an ion (usually H+ or Na+) down its electrochemical gradient to power the import or export of a small molecule or different ion down its concentration gradient.

D. The cells lining the small intestine and kidney tubules contain symporters that couple the energetically favorable entry of Na+ to the import of glucose against its concentration gradient.
