Consider three groups of solutes: (i) steroid hormones, fatty acids,and other lipids; (ii) inorganic ions; and (iii) polar organic solutessuch as glucose and amino acids. What is the principal mechanismby which each group crosses cell membranes passively? Why domembers of the first group cross in a fundamentally different wayfrom solutes belonging to the other two groups?
For fusion of a vesicle with its target membrane tooccur, the membranes have to be brought to within 1.5 nmso that the two bilayers can join (Figure Q13–1). Assum-ing that the relevant portions of the two membranes at thefusion site are circular regions 1.5 nm in diameter, calcu-late the number of water molecules that would remainbetween the membranes. (Water is 55.5 M and the volumeof a cylinder is πr2h.) Given that an average phospholipid occupies a membrane surface area of 0.2 nm2, how manyphospholipids would be present in each of the opposingmonolayers at the fusion site? Are there sufficient watermolecules to bind to the hydrophilic head groups of thisnumber of phospholipids? (It is estimated that 10–12 watermolecules are normally associated with each phospho-lipid head group at the exposed surface of a membrane.)
The average concentration of salt in seawater is about 3.5 percent and the average concen- tration of salt in the human cellular environment is about 0.9 percent. Drinking seawater can be fatally harmful and is highly discouraged even in the most severe cases of dehydration. Which of the following provides the most likely cause for this fact? A B с D The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will increase the per- meability of the cell membrane. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will cause the move- ment of water into the cell. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will cause the move- ment of water out of the cell. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will decrease the per- meability of the cell membrane.

Given the solute content of two solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane predict which way water will flow across the membrane by osmosis? Thank you
Under which circumstance is the Goldman equation equivalent to the Nernst equation? O when the cell membrane is only permeable to 1 ion O when the concentrations of the ions are equal outside and inside of the cell when the cell membrane is equally permeable to all ions O when there is no charge on the membrane
Solutes tend to diffuse from a region where they are _______ concentrated to an adjacent region where they are _______ concentrated. a. more, less b. less, more c. movement is independent of concentration
Water moves via osmosis. throughout the cytoplasm from an area with a high concentration of other solutes to a lower one from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration from an area with a low concentration of water to higher concentration
Imagine a cell can perform exocytosis, but only minimal endocytosis. What would happen to the cell? The cell would secrete all its intracellular proteins The plasma membrane would increase in size over time The cell would stop expressing integral receptor proteins in its plasma membrane The cell would lyse.

1:58 l 5GE Done 11 of 23 3 of 12 During an investigation on membrane transport, a researcher exposed bacterial cells to different concentrations of two different solutes: A and B. The rate of transport of each solute into cells is represented in the graph. = Solute A = Solute B Solute Concentration Which of the following best explains the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentrations? Solute A is being transported by simple diffusion, which does not rely on membrane proteins to control the rate of transport. A Solute A is being transported by active transport, which uses ATP and has higher rates of transport than passive transport. B Solute A is being transported by facilitated diffusion, which uses membrane proteins to increase the rate of transport. Submit !! Rate of Transport II
