FOCUS ON INTERACTIONS
A human pancreatic cell obtains O2—and necessary molecules such as glucose, amino acids, and cholesterol—from its environment, and it releases CO2 as a waste product. In response to hormonal signals, the cell secretes digestive enzymes. It also regulates its ion concentrations by exchange with its environment. Based on what you have just learned about the structure and function of cellular membranes, write a short essay (100-150 words) to describe how such a cell accomplishes these interactions with its environment.

- account_circle Science Anatomy and PhysiologyQ&A LibraryWhich of the following statements regarding the selective permeability of the lipid bilayer is FALSE? A. the permeability of the lipid bilayer to different substances varies. B. The lipid bilayer component of the plasma membrane is highly permeable to nonvolatile molecules such as oxygen. C. The more hydrophobic or lipid soluble a substance is, the greater the lipid bilayers permeability to that substance. D. The lipid bilayer component of the plasma membrane is moderately permeable to ions and large, uncharged polar molecules Which of the following statements regarding the selective permeability of the lipid bilayer is FALSE?

In the square provided, draw a double layer of phospholipids with a large protein embedded within it. Label the parts of this phospholipid bilayer that are partially charged (polar) and uncharged (non-polar). B. Anatomy of a Cell. Draw a "typical" cell in the space below (see lecture notes or the labeled/unlabeled Images on Canvas). Sketch the following organelles within the cell and label them.

Does this mean they have the same kinds of organelles? Why or why not? A complex of protein and RNA that assembles proteins. A cell makes and secretes a certain protein. Explain where it is made, how it is secreted from the cell, and what kind of transport is used. Why do some molecules need help moving across a cell membrane in the form of energy?arrow_forward
