Question
Chapter 5, Problem 8SA
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Substances that cannot diffuse directly through a lipid bilayer cross the cell membrane through transport proteins. Each type of transport protein allows the movement of only a specific substance.

Suggest the mechanism(s) by which each of the following substances is transported across cell membranes: a. CO2 b. Glucose c. C1– d. K+ e. Fat molecules f. α-tocopherol
CO2 can cross the plasma membrane by diffusion. If a cell is in the process of metabolizing glucose, which direction would diffusion tend to carry CO2 molecules? (It may help to consider: where is CO2 highly concentrated? Would diffusion carry CO2 toward or away from this location?
Group of answer choices
A. From inside the cell to outside the cell
B. From outside the cell to inside the cell
C. not enough info to tell
Which of the following does not apply to lipid asymmetry?
a.It arises in the endoplasmic reticulum.
b.It arises due to the flip-flop movement of specific phospholipids to the cytosolic monolayer.
c.It is preserved throughout vesicular transport.
d.It depends on the activity of flippase.
