- Why is it advantageous for the cell membrane to be fluid in nature?arrow_forwardHow does the arrangement of phospholipid molecules in the cell membrane give the membrane selective permeability?arrow_forwardA blood cell with a 2% internal solute concentration is placed in a solution that has a 0.2% solute concentration. The solute is impermeable to the plasma membrane. How would you classify the solution compared to the cell – hypotonic, hypertonic or isotonic? Why? (2 pts.) B) Will the solutes move across the membrane? Why or why not? C) What type of transport would occur in this situation – diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport or bulk transport. Explain. D) What would happen if the cell began to produce a new membrane protein that allowed the solutes to freely move in across the membrane? ould this change your answer to Part C? Explain.arrow_forward
- What is the relationship between concentration gradient and active and passive transport?arrow_forwardPlease answer.... a) State which series depcit tubes that were placed in isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic environments. b) In the above graph, which tubes appear to show internal turgor pressure counteracting osmosis? Explain how you can tell this by looking at the graph.arrow_forwardUnder what environmental conditions does water move into a cell byosmosis?arrow_forward
- 1) Draw a model of the plasma membrane to form a cell. Include a tube embedded in the membrane. Show 2 water molecules inside the cell and 12 water molecules outside the cell. Indicate which way the water will move through the aquaporin with an arrow. a) Using your knowledge of membrane transport, which direction will the water molecules move through the aquaporin? Why? b) Why would water have a difficult time crossing the cell membrane? Keep in mind the structure of water in your answer. 2) Develop an explanation for the necessity of having kinks in the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes. a) Develop an explanation for the necessity of having kinks in the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes.arrow_forwardWhat is mediated transport? What types of particles movethrough the plasma membrane by mediated transport?arrow_forwardWhat condition does the diagram show? movement of water a) The solution on the left side of membrane is hypoosmotic. b) The solution on the left side of the membrane is hyperosmotic. c) The solution on the left side of the membrane is isoosmotic. O d) The solution on the right side is hyperosmoticarrow_forward
- Why are membranes more permeable to nonpolar molecules than to most polar and ionized molecules?arrow_forwardMatch the definitions with the words: Direct Diffusion, Facilitated Transport, Active Transport a) passive movement of molecules through a protein channel, down the solute's concentration gradient b) using a vesicle to move many molecules into a cell c) movement of molecules through a protein transporter, requires ATP, against the solute's concentration gradientarrow_forwardWhat are the materials transported and the cell membrane structure involved in Primary Active Transport?arrow_forward
