- REFLECT AND APPLY Which statements are consistent with the fluid-mosaic model of membranes? (a) All membrane proteins are bound to the interior of the membrane. (b) Both proteins and lipids undergo transverse (flip-flop) diffusion from the inside to the outside of the membrane. (c) Some proteins and lipids undergo lateral diffusion along the inner or outer surface of the membrane. (d) Carbohydrates are covalently bonded to the outside of the membrane. (e) The term mosaic refers to the arrangement of the lipids alone.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Do you consider it a reasonable conjecture that cells could have arisen as bare cytoplasm without a cell membrane?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY A membrane consists of 50% protein by weight and 50% phosphoglycerides by weight. The average molecular weight of the lipids is 800 Da, and the average molecular weight of the proteins is 50,000 Da. Calculate the molar ratio of lipid to protein.arrow_forward
