- Which of the following describes the plasma membrane? 1) phospholipid bilayer surrounding the cell 2) a membrane composed of tiny shelves or cristae 3) single-layered membrane that surrounds the nucleus of the cell 4) double layer of protein enclosing the plasmaarrow_forwardThe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus are two organelles that are not physically joined, yet materials can still be exchanged between them. How can materials, such as proteins, move between the ER and Golgi when these organelles are not touching each other? A) When a substance such as a protein needs to move between these organelles, it is first dismantled in one organelle, then reassembled when it arrives at the other organelle. B) Substances such as proteins can travel between these organelles within transport vesicles. C) None of these; a single molecule will not go from one organelle to another. D) Substances like proteins will move between these organelles by diffusion through the cytoplasm. ..arrow_forwardFor biological membranes, which of the following statement is NOT true? A. The phospholipid bilayer is a fluid matrix. B. Protein can be anchored to the membrane by covalently linked lipid chains. C. Proteins can move laterally across the membrane. D. For organisms living in cold temperature, their cell membranes contain more triacylglycerols. E. Transverse motion of lipid molecules can occur occasionally. Enzyme lowers when... A. The energy difference between the substrate and the transition state B. The energy difference between the product and the transition state C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true about biomembrane? Membrane proteins and lipids are distributed symmetrically in the two leaflets of the bilayer. Lipid-linked proteins are anchored to the bilayer by the lipid moiety that covalently attached to the protein. Lipid molecules can diffuse laterally in each leaflet of the bilayer but they can never flip from one leaflet to another. The fluid mosaic model describes the dynamic arrangement and interaction of proteins but not lipids in membrane. Bilayers are formed by triacylglycerol, glycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids.arrow_forwardWhich of the following molecules would you expect to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane most slowly, if at all? CO2 O2 CH4-a nonpolar compound A charged molecule Waterarrow_forwardIn a plasma membrane, the tails of phospholipids orient toward each other because they are?arrow_forward
- The plasma membrane is composed of a variety of lipid molecules. 1. Phosphatidylethanolamine 2. Phosphatidylcholine 3. Phosphatidylinositol 4. Phosphatidylserine 5. Sphingomyelin 6. Glycolipids 7. Cholesterol. Which lipids contain sugar molecules?arrow_forwardMark the following statements about the plasma membrane as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement. a. _____ Integral membrane proteins generally span the width of the plasma membrane, whereas peripheral proteins are found on only one side of the membrane. b. _____ Cholesterol provides the plasma membrane with stability in the face of changing ion concentrations . c. _____ Membrane cholesterol is vitally important for cell-cell recognition. d. _____ Membrane proteins often function as channels or carriers. e. _____ The overall structure of the plasma membrane is a mosaic with the components locked tightly in placearrow_forwardDescribe the general structure of all cell membranes. What are three types of lipid molecules that are present in the cell membrane? Then describe how the different types of lipid molecules can impact membrane fluidity and they can impact membrane shape.arrow_forward
