Describe the basic components of a plasma membrane and explain in detail the asymmetry that occurs in a red blood cell in terms of the membrane and the associated proteins.

A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, a large amount of distilled water was transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion?     It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypertonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will burst.     It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypotonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will shrivel.     It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria.     It will have no serious effect because the kidneys would quickly eliminate the excess water.     It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because there will be too much fluid for the heart to pump.

What is the cause of the impermeability of plasma membranes to water-soluble molecules?  Group of answer choices   the nonpolar nature of water presence of phospholipid bilayer with a nonpolar/hydrophobic interior region presence of transmembrane proteins the presence of cellulose

4) Two membrane preparations have been made from the plasma membrane of erythrocytes (i.e red blood cells) and are being maintained in an isotonic buffer solution: (1) right-side-out membrane vesicles, in which the exoplasmic leaflet of the vesicle faces the buffer (equivalent in orientation to that of the exoplasmic leaflet of the intact plasma membrane); and (2) inside-out membrane vesicles in which the exoplasmic leaflet faces the interior of the vesicles and the cytoplasmic leaflet faces the buffer. 80 a. Right-side-out vesicles (ROVS) Very Low Fluorescence Inside-out vesicles (IOVS) Very High Fluorescence A newly discovered phosphoglyceride, called phosphotidylalanine is currently being studied. Annexin V is a protein that binds to phosphatidylalanine, which is one of the phospholipids present in the cell membrane preparations described above. Fluorescently labeled Annexin V is mixed with each vesicle preparation. The vesicles are washed to remove unbound Annexin V and then…

Summarize the mechanisms of uptake of large molecules and particles by the plasma membrane.Explain the processes of phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Describe recycling of cell surface receptors, including the role of vesicular acidification in the cycle.

Describe the chemical composition of membranes. What are the two most critical functions of membranes? What contributes to membrane fluidity and rigidity? Explain Diffusion.  What are the differences between Osmosis and Dialysis? Explain the differences between Iso, Hypo, and Hypertonic conditions.  If the solutions is Hypertonic then the cell would be?

Describe the similarities and differences between the dialysis bag and a cell membrane. Be specific. If you want water to flow out of a dialysis bag filled with a 50 percent sucrose solution what would be the minimum concentration of the beaker solution need to be?
