(a) The phospholipid bilayer of a liposome contains only phospholipids, without the proteins that are embedded in the plasma membrane of a cell. (b) The phospholipid bilayer of a liposome contains two bilayers of phospholipid molecules, whereas the plasma membrane of a cell contains only one. (c) The phospholipid bilayer of a liposome completely envelops the liposome, whereas the plasma membrane of a cell does not completely envelop the cell. (d) The phospholipid molecules in the phospholipid bilayer of a liposome are oriented with the lipid ends on the outside of the bilayer and the phosphate groups on the inside.arrow_forwardWhat is the structure of a phospholipid present in the phospholipid bilayer?arrow_forward
- Although both faces of a biomembrane are composed of the same general types of macromolecules, principally lipids and proteins, the two faces of the bilayer are not identical. What accounts for the asymmetry between the two faces?arrow_forwardIn general terms, what would you expect to be different about the permeability of a lipid bilayer made of phospholipids (modern cells) and a bilayer made of fatty acids (protocell)?arrow_forwardHow do proteins and the lipid bilayer interact with each other in membranes?arrow_forward
- Do you think sodium (Na+) or chloride (Cl-) ions can diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer? How about water molecules? Explain.arrow_forwardMost cytoplasmic proteins lack disulfide bonds, whereas extracellular proteins usually contain them. Why?arrow_forwardDraw the basic structure of a lipid bilayer and label thehydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. Why is the cytoplasmicmembrane a good permeability barrier?arrow_forward
- Why is the lipid bilayer of a cell freely permeable to water,which is quite polar, but is not freely permeable to ammonia,which is also polar and about the same molecular size?arrow_forwardWhat materials can easily diffuse through the lipid bilayer, and why? What is receptor-mediated endocytosis said to be more selective than phagocytosis or pinocytosis? What do osmosis, diffusion, filtration, and the movement of ions away from like charges all have in common? In what do they differ?arrow_forwardWhen viewed by electron microscopy, the lipid bilayer is often described as looking like a railroad track. Explain how the structure of the bilayer creates this image.arrow_forward
