- What is the correct order of permeability for the following four substances across a pure phosopholipid bilayer? Ca+ > ATP > O2 > ethanol K+ > ethanol > CO2 > ATP CO2 > ethanol > K+ > GTP O2 > Ca+ > GTP > ethanolarrow_forwardAmmonia (NH3) is a weak base that under acidic conditions becomes protonated to the ammonium ion in the following reaction: NH3 + H+ → NH+4 NH3 freely permeates biological membranes, including those of lysosomes. The lysosome is a subcellular organelle with a pH of about 4.5–5.0; the pH of cytoplasm is about 7.0. What is the effect on the pH of the fluid content of lyso- somes when cells are exposed to ammonia? Note: Ammo- nium (NH4+) does not diffuse freely across membranes.arrow_forwarda) At the organelle/molecular level inside a mitochondrion, wWhy do cells engaged in aerobic cellular respiration need O2? At what points during aerobic cellular resp is CO2 released? b) O2 and CO2 do not dissolve in water easily but cells must be moist to have functional phospholipid bilayers. For air breathers, moist lungs might collapse and stick together so what prevents this? c) Aquatic animals contend with the relatively lower O2 levels in water, but at least they don’t have to deal with ventilating lung. Complex gills like in fish maximize O2 exchange with a counter-current system ensuring there is always a gradient between the water and the blood. How does this ensure there is always a gradient between the water and the blood? (many people mix this up so think carefully)arrow_forward
- (a) Describe permeability of a phospholipid bilayer for the following molecules. Use terms: non-permeable, high permeability, medium permeability. N2, O2, Na+, glucose, sucrose (disaccharide), glycogen, H2O, KCl, K+, Mg2+, glycine and protein (b) Discuss the role of carbonic anhydrase in CO2 transport. (c) Discuss the cause of ‘cold denaturation’ of proteins.arrow_forwardProteins may be bound to the exoplasmic or cytosolic face of the plasma membrane by way of covalently attached lipids. What are the three types of lipid anchors responsible for tethering proteins to the plasma-membrane bilayer? Which type is used by cell-surface proteins that face the external medium? By glycosylated proteoglycans?arrow_forward27. Ions cannot cross directly through a lipid bilayer, yet we know they travel in and out of cells. Which of the following is/are true about how ions diffuse cross membranes? a) They diffuse down their concentration gradients. b) They diffuse through channels formed by integral membrane proteins. c) They diffuse down their electrical gradients. d) a and c e) a, b and carrow_forward
- Below is the skeletal formula of a molecule typically found in cell membranes. What type of molecule is this and how can you tell? What are the functions of this type of molecule in the plasma membrane of a cell? CH3 CH₂) (CH₂) 16 CH3 Koarrow_forwardWhat two properties must a substance typically have to be capable of simple diffusion across a cell membrane? If a substance does not have these properties, can it still cross a cell membrane? How?arrow_forward3)What is the second type of lipid that plays a major role in the plasma membrane? This lipid does not have polar and nonpolar regions (its not amphiphilic) but plays a critical role in membrane permeability. A)phospholipids b) steroid hormones c) Cholesterol 4)Which one of the following influences the rate at which diffusion can occur? Size of the concentration gradient Mass of the molecule Distance All of the above affect diffusion None of the above affect the diffusion ratearrow_forward
- Give the specific terms for the following:(a)Cluster of ribosome’s found in cytoplasm(b)Extensive in folding to the inner membrane of mitochondria.(c) Stacks of closely packed thylakoids(d)Stalked particles on the inner membrane of mitochondria.arrow_forwardWhich molecule would you expect to pass through aphospholipid bilayer more quickly, methanol (CH3OH) or methane (CH4 )?arrow_forwardDraw and label a cell lipid bilayer and diagram how the following transport processes take place: passive diffusion of oxygen into the cell, facilitated diffusion of potassium into the cell, active transport of sucrose into the cell. Using different symbols (circles for oxygen, squares for sucrose, and triangles for potassium ions), show the relative concentrations (gradients) of these substances on the inside and outside of the cell. For example, to show that oxygen enters the cell by going “down” its gradient, you would draw more circles on the outside of the cell than inside the cell. Be sure to show and label membrane proteins when appropriate, and show the electric membrane potential using “+”s (pluses) on one side and “-”s (minuses) on the other side of the membrane. Also show the proton pump which uses ATP as a source of energy.arrow_forward
