•             a large fatty acid

•             water

•             a large peptide hormone

Feedback

Question 3

Points: 10 out of 10

Which component of the plasma membrane has the widest variety of functions?

•             proteins

•             phospholipids

•             sterols

•             carbohydrates

Feedback

Question 4

Points: 10 out of 10

All of the following have an effect on the fluidity of a membrane except:

•             the cholesterol content

•             the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids

•             the presence of integral proteins in the membrane

•             interactions among fatty acids in the core of the bilayer

Feedback

Question 5

Points: 10 out of 10

A set of erythrocytes is placed in a beaker of 0.9% NaCl. Nothing appears to happen to the cells. Why?

•             water has not moved at all.

•             Sodium blocks the movement of water.

•             0.9% NaCl is hypertonic to the cells.

•             0.9% NaCl is iostonic to the cells.

•             0.9% NaCl is hypotonic to the cells.

Feedback

Question 6

Points: 10 out of 10

What is the role of carbohydrates in the plasma membrane?

•             cellular identification

•             adhesion

•             help maintain fluidity

•             transport materials across the membrane

Feedback

Question 7

Points: 10 out of 10

Biological Membranes are:

•             impermeable.

•             static.

•             dynamic.

•             symmetrical.

Feedback

Question 8

Points: 10 out of 10

How does the selective permeability of the membrane help the cell.

•             This allows the cell to maintain the proper shape.

•             This allows the cell to regulate what enters and exits

•             This allows the cell to maintain a constant temperature.

•             All of these
