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_forwardWhat drives the movement of lipid molecules and proteins within the bilayer? How can such movement be measured?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
- The following table depicts the rate of transport of a molecule into a cell as the external concentrations are changed. Based on what you know about the characteristics of membrane transport, the molecule is most likely transported by: a) passive transport b) simple diffusion across the membrane c) facilitated diffusion d) active transportarrow_forwardWhy do these nuclear pores have to be larger in diameter than the channels in the cell’s plasma membrane?arrow_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_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_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_forwardEndocytosis and exocytosis are both forms of [ ACTIVE / PASSIVE ] transport that [ DO / DO NOT ] require energy. Outline an example/scenario in which a cell would need to perform a form of endocytosis. Outline an example/scenario in which a cell would need to perform exocytosis. a) Name the 3 specific types of endocytosis. b) Exocytosis is considered the opposite/reverse process as?
