briefly describe the fluid mosaic model
- ANSWER the fluid mosaic model states that the molecular arrangement of the plasma membrane resembles an ever-moving sea of fluid lipids containing a mosaic of many different proteins

b. proteins, cholesterol, & fatty acids
c. cholesterol, triglycerides, & glycolipids
d. phospholipids, cholesterol, & glycolipids
e. phospholipids, cholesterol, & proteins.
- ANSWER d. phospholipids, cholesterol, & glycolipids
what are nonpolar parts of phospholipids?
a. phosphate-containing head groups
b. fatty acid tail groups
c. both head & tail groups are nonpolar
d. neither head nor tail groups are nonpolar
- ANSWER b. fatty acid tail groups
polar portion of cholesterol molecule, which forms hydrogen bonds w/ polar heads of neighboring phospholipids & glycolipids, consists of
a. -OH group
b. -CH3 group
c. -CH4 group
d. -COOH group
e. none of these choices correct
- ANSWER a. -OH group
which type of membrane protein extends across entire lipid bilayer of plasma membrane touching both intracellular fluid & extracellular fluid?
a. complement protein
b. transmembrane protein
c. peripheral protein
d. lipoprotein
e. all choices are correct
- ANSWER b. transmembrane protein
describe five different functions of integral membrane proteins.
- ANSWER some membrane proteins act as ion channels or carriers that transport substances across membrane. other membrane proteins act as receptors that allow cell to respond to various types of ligands. other membrane proteins are enzymes that catalyze specific chemical reactions. still other membrane proteins act as linker proteins that anchor cells to neighboring structures including other cells. lastly, some membrane proteins serve as cell identity molecules.
this type of membrane protein enables cells to catalyze specific chemical reactions at inner or outer surface of their plasma membrane
a. receptors
b. phospholipids
c. cholesterol
d. enzymes
e. ligands
- ANSWER d. enzymes
which of following types of membrane proteins function by recognizing & binding to hormones & neurotransmitters?
a. transporters
b. receptors
c. enzymes
d. linkers
e. cell identification markers
- ANSWER b. receptors
which type of membrane protein anchors cells to neighboring cells & to protein filaments found outside or inside cell?
a. transporters
b. receptors
c. ligands
d. ion channels
e. linkers
- ANSWER e. linkers
plasma membranes are ___________, which means that some chemicals move easily through plasma membrane while other chemicals do not.
a. selectively permeable
b. concentration graded
c. electrically graded
d. selectively soluble
e. electrical insulators
- ANSWER a. selectively permeable
which of following does NOT influence rate of diffusion of chemical across plasma membrane?
a. concentration gradient of chemical across membrane
b. mass of diffusing chemical
c. distance that chemical has to diffuse
d. amount of ATP available
e. temperature
- ANSWER d. amount of ATP available
briefly describe driving force for movement of water across plasma membranes –
ANSWER water moves across membranes by osmosis, which is driven by solute concentration differences across the membrane. water moves from area of low solute concentration to area of high solute concentrations.
which of following is measure of solution's ability to change volume of cells by altering their water content?
a. filtration
b. normality
c. tonicity
d. equivalency
e. facilitation
- ANSWER c. tonicity
which of following is transport process by which gases (i.e. O2 & CO2) move through membrane?
a. osmosis
b. active transport
c. secondary active transport
d. simple diffusion
e. endocytosis
- ANSWER d. simple diffusion
in this type of transport process, a solute (i.e. glucose) binds to specific carrier protein on one side of the membrane. this binding induces conformational change in carrier protein that results in solute moving down its concentration gradient to other side of membrane.
a. osmosis
b. primay active transport
c. secondary active transport
d. facilitated diffusion
e. endocytosis
- ANSWER d. facilitated diffusion
in this transport process, energy from hydrolysis of ATP is used to drive substances across membrane against their own concentration gradients.
a. primary active [Show Less]
