According to the fluid mosaic model of cell membranes, which of the following is a TRUE statement about membrane phospholipids? 03.02A 3.They can depart from the membrane and become dissolved in the surrounding solution. 4.They have hydrophilic tails in the interior of the membrane.

Answer: They can move laterally along the plane of the membrane. Explanation: In cell membranes, phospholipids form a bilayer with the hydrophilic portions on the outside surfaces and the hydrophobic portion in the interior. Proteins with hydrophobic sections can penetrate this bilayer. According to the fluid mosaic model of cell membranes, which of the following is a TRUE statement about membrane phospholipids? 03.02E

1.Sugar and amino acid entry 2.Diffusion and osmosis What would continue to occur if plasma membranes were composed solely of phospholipids and no proteins? 03.03Q 3.Movement of ions through channels 4.Immune reactions 5.Cell adhesions

1.Sugar and amino acid entry 2.Diffusion and osmosis What would continue to occur if plasma membranes were composed solely of phospholipids and no proteins? 03.03A 3.Movement of ions through channels 4.Immune reactions 5.Cell adhesions

Answer: Diffusion and osmosis Explanation: Without membrane proteins, the movement of most hydrophilic substances across the membrane (by facilitated diffusion or active transport) would not occur. However, the movement of substances directly through the phospholipid bilayer (by diffusion or osmosis) would continue. What would continue to occur if plasma membranes were composed solely of phospholipids and no proteins? 03.03E

1.The red ink is uniformly distributed in one half of the tray and the green ink is uniformly distributed in the other half of the tray. 2.The red and green inks are both uniformly distributed throughout the tray. You fill a shallow tray with water and place a drop of red ink in one end of the tray and a drop of green ink in the other end. Which of the following is TRUE at equilibrium? 03.04A 3.Each ink is moving down its concentration gradient. 4.The concentration of each ink is higher at one end of the tray than at the other end. 5.No predictions can be made without knowing the size of the ink molecules.

Answer: The red and green inks are both uniformly distributed throughout the tray. Explanation: Before and during diffusion of the ink particles, there will be net movement of particles down the concentration gradient. After diffusion has occurred and equilibrium is reached, the concentration of both ink particles will be uniform throughout the tray. You fill a shallow tray with water and place a drop of red ink in one end of the tray and a drop of green ink in the other end. Which of the following is TRUE at equilibrium? 03.04E

1.The cells swell and burst because water moves into the cells. 2.The cells shrivel up because water leaves the cells. If red blood cells are taken from the body and placed in a hypertonic solution, what happens to the cells? 03.05Q 3.The cells remain unchanged due to equal solute concentration inside and outside the cells. 4.The cells remain unchanged due to equal water concentrations inside and outside the cells.

If red blood cells are taken from the body and placed in a hypertonic solution, what happens to the cells? 03.05A 1.The cells swell and burst because water moves into the cells. 2.The cells shrivel up because water leaves the cells. 3.The cells remain unchanged due to equal solute concentration inside and outside the cells. 4.The cells remain unchanged due to equal water concentrations inside and outside the cells.

Answer: The cells shrivel up because water leaves the cells. Explanation: A hypertonic solution is one in which the solute concentration is greater than that within the cells. Because of osmosis, water will move from the area of lesser concentration to the area of greater concentration: from the inside to the outside of the cells. If red blood cells are taken from the body and placed in a hypertonic solution, what happens to the cells? 03.05E

1.Water will diffuse from solution A to solution B. 2.Water will diffuse from solution B to solution A. 3.Starch will diffuse from solution A to solution B. 4.Starch will diffuse from solution B to solution A. 5.Both 2 and 4 will occur. Two aqueous solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane. Solution A is 10% starch, and solution B is 5% starch. What will occur? 03.07A

Two aqueous solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane. Solution A is 10% starch, and solution B is 5% starch. What will occur? Answer: Water will diffuse from solution B to solution A. Explanation: A semipermeable membrane would not allow the passage of starch (a large molecular complex), but would allow osmosis, the movement of small water molecules. Since osmosis occurs from the lower concentration solution to that of higher concentration, water will diffuse from solution B to solution A E
