Question
Chapter 3, Problem 10TMW
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that eukaryotic glycocalyces covalently bound to cytoplasmic membranes and also the reason that eukaryotes with cell wall does not have glycocalyces.
Introduction:
Glycocalyx is a sticky and gelatinous substance that surrounds the cell from outside. It is made up of polypeptides and polysaccharides that protect the cell from drying.

- When a prokaryote cell is placed in a hypertonic solution (water with a higher energy level compared to inside the cell), one would expect that H2O would: A) diffuse out of the cell through the lipid section of the phospholipid bilayer B) cause protein synthesis C) move using active transport proteins D) diffuse through Endoplasmic reticulum portal protein E) diffuse through portal proteins of the cell membranearrow_forwardSome archaea have unique phospholipids in their cytoplasmic membrane that A) form a monolayer due to the presence of diglycerol tetraethers. B) form a bilayer due to the presence of sterols. C) form a stable ring structure due to the presence of crenarchaeol. D) form a bilayer due to the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine.arrow_forwardHello, i understand the question, but i only need to know which option is right, no need for explanation. thanks in advance.arrow_forward
