She tried to understand how
aquaporins are used in synthetic membranes. The following image presents a
schematic of such a membrane, illustrating how aquaporins are embedded within a
single membrane sheet. As the feed solution passes through the membrane,
aquaporins facilitate selective water transport, resulting in the production of
clean water. Which of the following statements correctly describe the role of
aquaporin-based nanomembrane filtration in water purification?

aquaporin-based nanomembrane filtration in water purification?

Answer

Aquaporin-based membranes achieve superior
selectivity over traditional polymer membranes by utilizing active transport
mechanisms that consume ATP to drive water movement.

Answer

The mechanical support to these membranes is
provided due to the nano membranes which have the aquaporins.

Answer

The concentrate is another name for the clean water
that comes post the filtration.

Answer

Aquaporins
facilitate water transport by allowing only H₂O molecules to pass through based
on electrostatic and pore size effects, preventing contaminants from entering
the purified stream.

Answer

The
perforated central tube in the filtration unit plays a crucial role in pumping
feed solution through the membrane sheets, ensuring water is forced through
aquaporins.
