Chapter 8, Problem 35RE
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.

- REFLECT AND APPLY Which statements are consistent with the known facts about membrane transport? (a) Active transport moves a substance from a region in which its concentration is lower to one in which its concentration is higher. (b) Transport does not involve any pores or channels in membranes. (c) Transport proteins may be involved in bringing substances into cells.arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Do you consider it a reasonable conjecture that cells could have arisen as bare cytoplasm without a cell membrane?arrow_forwardRECALL Which of the following statements is (are) consistent with what is known about membranes? (a) A membrane consists of a layer of proteins sandwiched between two layers of lipids. (b) The compositions of the inner and outer lipid layers are the same in any individual membrane. (c) Membranes contain glycolipids and glycoproteins. (d) Lipid bilayers are an important component of membranes.

In a lipid bilayer in which most of the fatty acids are unsaturated, would you expect this transition to occur at a higher temperature, a lower temperature, or the same temperature as it would in a lipid bilayer in which most of the fatty acids are saturated?

In other words, the bacteria grown at 37C have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids in their cell membranes.arrow_forward
