Lipid bilayers form spontaneously in a process driven by the hydrophobic effect. Explain how the hydrophobic effect drives bilayer formation from individual lipids in an aqueous environment. Describe how the physical properties of the lipid bilayer are determined by the chemical properties of the membrane lipid components. Diagrams are encouraged for both parts of the question.
Which molecule would you predict moves through a lipid bilayer most rapidly without the help of a transport protein? Group of answer choices A NH2SO2CH3 B C6H12O6 C C2H4 D CH3OH E C2H5OH
The plasma membrane has a hydrophobic interior due to the two present in each phospholipid found in the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The plasma membrane allows some molecules to cross but not all. Therefore, the plasma membrane is said to be Molecules that are nonpolar and hydrophobic will cross the membrane with ease by Does this process require energy? When molecules move across the plasma membrane by passive transport, they will move down or with the_ from an area of concentration to an area of. concentration. Polar, hydrophilic molecules and charged ions will move across the plasma membrane by the process of_ This does not require energy, but it does require a A special case of diffusion is known as which is the movement of water across the plasma membrane.

Lipid rafts are microdomains in the plasma membrane that function as a stable platform for signaling and trafficking. Which of the following helps make the lipid rafts more stable and less mobile? phospholipid cholesterol sphingolipid a and b b and c
For biological membranes, which of the following statement is NOT true? A. The phospholipid bilayer is a fluid matrix. B. Protein can be anchored to the membrane by covalently linked lipid chains. C. Proteins can move laterally across the membrane. D. For organisms living in cold temperature, their cell membranes contain more triacylglycerols. E. Transverse motion of lipid molecules can occur occasionally. Enzyme lowers when... A. The energy difference between the substrate and the transition state B. The energy difference between the product and the transition state C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B
Which of these general statements is TRUE about the lipid called phosphatidylcholine (or PC)? Group of answer choices PC is NOT an aminophospholipid. PC is zwitterionic at normal cell pH. PC resides mainly in the outer leaflet of the membrane bilayer. 3 of these 4 responses are correct PC is a type of cholesterol.
Which of the following substances is unlikely to diffuse across the lipid bilayer of a typical cell membrane? Choose all that apply. CO2 glucose ethanol Ca2+ ions
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.
