- 3. The diagram to the left represents the distribution of some molecules inside and outside of an artificial cell over a period of time. Which statement is best supported by the diagram? (1) Oxygen molecules entered the cell over time by active transport. (2) Water molecules are too large to enter or leave the cell, so they reMained where they were at the start of the investigation. (3) Protein molecules are kept inside of the cell because the cell needs them. (4) The protein molecules are too large to diffuse out of the cell.arrow_forward• Compare and contrast apoptosis and necrosis. • Describe the structure of the plasma membrane including the various components. • What are lipid rafts and why are they important?arrow_forwardName three parameters that need to be stably maintained inside a cell.arrow_forward

Sphere surface area = A=4πr2 Sphere volume = V=4373 A) the surface area increases more than the cell volume increases B) the surface area and cell volume increase similarly C) the cell volume increases more than the surface area increases D) the surface area increases but the cell volume can go downarrow_forwardIn the fluid mosaic model: plasma membrane proteins orient their hydrophilic sides toward the internal bilayer. phospholipids often flip-flop between the inner and outer layers. the mosaic refers to proteins attached to the underlying cytoskeleton. the fluid refers to the phospholipid bilayer. the mosaic refers to the symmetry of the internal membrane proteins and sterols.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the statement is true or false. 1. Membrane proteins may act as transporter, channel, receptors and cell identity markers. 2. Nucleolus contain digestive enzyme that aid cell renewal. 3. The vacuoles in animals are more common and bigger than with plants and bacteria. 4. Chlorophyll is the solar energy-capturing organelle derived from photosynthetic bacteria. 5. Proteins embedded on the plasma membrane may also transport some molecules to and outside the cell. 6. Nuclear envelope is a double membrane with pores that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. 7. Eukaryotic cells are considered the first cell type on Earth and are the cell type of bacteria and archaea. 8. Cell wall surrounds plasma membrane which is common among plants, fungi and many protists. 9. Ribosomes direct the synthesis of RNA. 10.

- -Mature parent cell Budding- cell 1 μη Test II. Examine the micrograph of the yeast cells. The scale bar under the photo is labeled 1 um. The scale bar works in the same way as a scale on a map, where, for example, 1 inch equals 1 mile. In this case the bar represents one thousandth of a millimeter. Using the scale bar as a basic unit, determine the diameter of the mature parent cell and the new cell. Start by measuring the scale bar and the diameter of each cell. The units you use are irrelevant, but working in millimeters is convenient. Divide each diameter by the length of the scale bar and then multiply by the scale bar's length value to give you the diameter in micrometers.arrow_forward5.

What would be the effect of this change in environment on the cell? O 1) It would shrivel because it would lose water. O 2) It would shrivel because it is responding to a hypotonic environment. O 3) It would swell because it is experiencing a hypertonic environment. O 4) It would swell because it would gain water. O 5) Nothing would happen to the cell.arrow_forward
