of 15 > Biological membranes are selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules to cross the membrane, but not others. Classify the molecules or ions depending on how they cross a biological membrane. Note that some of these examples may also utilize active transport to traverse a membrane. However, this question is limited to passive transport processes only. lactose Simple Diffusion Mg²+ steroid hormones Answer Bank nucleosides Facilitated Diffusion
Drawn below is a schematic of a transmembrane protein. Extracellular Cell membrane Cytosolic side (a) From the list below, select the amino acid(s) that might by more common in the extracellular domain of this membrane protein and whose side- chain can form hydrogen bonds with the surrounding water molecules. Explain why you selected this option(s). Lysine Serine Phenylalanine Methionine (b) From the list below, select the amino acid(s) that would likely be found in the transmembrane/ membrane spanning domain of this protein and whose side- chain interacts with the lipid bilayer. Lysine Serine Phenylalanine Methionine
The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded protein. What is one of the functions of the embedded protein.
This graph shows facilitated diffusion of a compound across a cytoplasmic membrane and into a cell. As the external concentration of the compound is increased, the rate of uptake increases until it reaches a point where it slows and then begins to plateau. This is not the case with passive diffusion, where the rate of uptake continually increases as the solute concentration increases. Why does the rate of uptake slow and then eventually plateau with facilitated diffusion?
A transmembrane protein has the following properties: it has two binding sites, one for solute A and one for solute b. The protein can undergo a conformational change to switch between two states: either both binding sites are exposed exclusively on one side of the membrane or both binding sites are exposed exclusively on the other side of the membrane. The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. What kind of protein do these properties define?

The protein can undergo a conformational change to switch between two states: either both binding sites are exposed exclusively on one side of the membrane or both binding sites are exposed exclusively on the other side of the membrane. The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. Do you need to specify any additional properties to turn this protein into a symport that couples the movement of solute A up its concentration gradient to the movement of solute b down its electrochemical gradient?
The fluid mosaic model of membrane structure has been very useful in explaining membrane behavior. However, the description of membrane as proteins floating in a phospholipid sea is oversimplified. Describe some components of membrane that are restricted in their lateral motion.
Proteins attached to the outer half of the plasma membrane bilayer are usually attached by prenyl tail GPI anchor farnesyl tail geranyl tail
You will create a hand drawn, 2-dimensional, labelled diagram of the plasma membrane (not a 3D diagram). Label the following structures in your diagram: A phospholipid A peripheral protein An integral protein A cholesterol Intracellular and extracellular portion of the membrane Hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas Also include a detailed drawing of a single phospholipid labeling its component
Which of these structures would you expect to find as part of the transmembrane portion of an integral membrane protein? Structure B would be part of the transmembrane domain of an integral membrane protein. Structure C would be part of the transmembrane domain of an integral membrane protein. Structure A would be part of the transmembrane domain of an integral membrane protein.
Which of the following statements is false? Integral membrane proteins cannot, in general, be extracted from a cell without disruption of the membranes. The portion of an integral membrane protein that traverses the membrane has, in general, hydrophobic amino acid residues on the surface and hydrophilic amino acid residues in the interior. Peripheral membrane proteins can often be extracted from a membrane surface using a buffer with a high [salt]. Proteins can be tethered to a membrane via a lipid prosthetic group. Unless attached to the cytoskeleton, membrane lipids diffuse about the membrane surface.
Contrast the plasma membrane characteristics of organisms in warm tropical regions to those living in the coldest places on Earth. Explain why these adjustments in plasma membrane character are made depending on the temperature of where an organism lives.
