Questions 43-50
You are investigating the properties of cell
membranes using the Fluorescence Recovery After
Photobleaching (FRAP) technique. You first label all
the membrane proteins on the cell surface uniformly
with a green fluorescent dye. At 10 minutes, you
photobleach a small area on the cell membrane by
shining a beam of strong laser on it (Strong laser
permanently destroys the fluorescent molecules in
the area). You measure the fluorescence in the
photobleached area over time.

43. The recovery of fluorescence in the
photobleached area is due to the fact that .
A. The cell membrane is semi-permeable, allowing
proteins to be transported across the membrane.
B. The cell membrane is fluid, allowing proteins
from adjacent areas to move into the
photobleached area.
C. Fluorescent molecules are not permanently
destroyed by the laser beam. They can
spontaneously regain their fluorescence over time.
D. New proteins are synthesized in the cell and
transported to the cell surface.
