Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 10TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: 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.

What’s the correct option?
1/How can an inhibitor affect enzyme activity in
a cell?
2/Outline glycolysis in terms of phosphorylation
and dephosphorylation.
3/
Cells can be broken and then centrifuged to
separate organelles, such as mitochondria. If
isolated mitchondria were then broken and
centrifuged, the membranes would separate
from the matrix. Knowing this, develop a
hypothesis about the properties of either the
matrix or the membranes. Clearly identify what
you intend to discover and briefly outline how
you would test your hypothesis.
Match the following cellular features and activities with the properties of cells.
Cell structure is highly complex and organized structurally.
Cell posseses genetic information.
Cells engage in metabolism.
Cells sense and respond to changes in the environment.
A.
Mistakes in the genetic material are called mutation.
B.
Protein receptors on cell membranes receive specific ligands that "communicate" the presence of a simulus or stimuli.
C.
Cells contain "blueprints" for constructing cellular structures, for rrunning cellular activities and for making more of themselves.
D.
All living systems are capable of doing "work" in whatever form.
E.

- Jus give all answer only with little bit explanationarrow_forwardWhile endocytosis and exocytosis refer to the direction in which a vesicle moves into and out of a cell respectively, it is important to think about what is being moved with and within the vesicles. To demonstrate how this process is utilized in human cells we will focus on the human body's insulin response. The purpose of the insulin response is to create a pathway for glucose entry into cells by releasing glucose transporters into the membrane. Cell Type #1- insulin producers: In humans, pancreatic B-cells create steroid insulin that can be packaged into vesicles starting at the ER. These vesicles are prepared for exocytosis so that the insulin can be released from the pancreatic B - cells and get into the bloodstream when signaled to do so. When glucose is present in the blood stream these cells will release the pre-packed insulin into the blood stream. Cell Type #2- insulin responders: Other cells do not produce insulin but instead respond when they have received the insulin signal…arrow_forwardNeed helparrow_forward

- Which of the following statements are correct? Explain your answers. The plasma membrane is highly impermeable to all charged molecules. Channels have specific binding pockets for the solute molecules they allow to pass. Transporters allow solutes to cross a membrane at much faster rates than do channels. Certain H+ pumps are fueled by light energy. The plasma membrane of many animal cells contains open K+ channels, yet the K+ concentration in the cytosol is much higher than outside the cell. A symport would function as an antiport if its orientation in the membrane were reversed (i.e., if the portion of the molecule normally exposed to the cytosol faced the outside of the cell instead). The membrane potential of an axon temporarily becomes more negative when an action potential excites it.arrow_forward20) Cells shrink when you place them in a solution with a high concentration of niacin (Vitamin B3), a component of NADH. This indicates that the cell membrane: IS permeable to niacin but NOT to water. Is NOT permeable to niacin but IS permeable to water. IS permeable to BOTH niacin and water. Is NOT permeable to EITHER niacin OR waterarrow_forwardRead This! When phospholipids are added to an aqueous environment (consisting mostly of water) the phospholipid molecules will spontaneously assemble into a phospholipid bilayer where the layers are held together by weak attractive forces between molecules. These structures are often seen in nature as cell and organelle membranes. 12. Consider animal cells, which are only bound by a cell membrane and plant cells which are bound by both a cell membrane and a cell wall. Are cell membranes flexible (fluid)? Provide specific examples to support your answer. 13. Explain why a phospholipid bilayer is flexible. terms of the strength of the forces that hold it together. 14. Refer to Model 1. a. What happens to the shape of the hydrophobic tail in a phospholipid when a double bond is present in the carbon chain? b. Explain why the flexibility (fluidity) of a membrane increases when more of the phospholipids in the layers contain double bonds. 15. The diagram below shows the chemical structure…arrow_forward
