glycoproteins
Question 8
Question
Which of the following is true of the evolution of cell membranes?
Answer
-
Cell membranes have stopped evolving now that they are fluid mosaics.
-
Cell membranes cannot evolve if proteins do not.
-
The evolution of cell membranes is driven by the evolution of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
-
As populations of organisms evolve, different properties of their cell membranes are selected for or against.
-
An individual organism selects its preferred type of cell membrane for particular functions.

Question 10
Question
Which of the following statements is correct about diffusion?
Answer
-
It is very rapid over long distances.
-
It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell.
-
It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
-
It is an active process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.
-
It requires integral proteins in the cell membrane.
Question 11
Question

Answer
-
the bilayer is hydrophilic.
-
it moves through hydrophobic channels.
-
water movement is tied to ATP hydrolysis.
-
it is a small, polar, charged molecule.

Question 14
Question
The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side A is half filled with a solution of 2 M sucrose and 1 M glucose. Side B is half filled with 1 M sucrose and 2 M glucose. Initially, the liquid levels on both sides are equal.
A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, distilled water, equal to the volume of blood lost, is transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion?
Image:
1 (binary/octet-stream)
Answer
-
It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria.
-
The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood fluid is hypotonic compared to the cells.
-
The patient's red blood cells will swell because the blood fluid is hypotonic compared to the cells.
-
The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood fluid is hypertonic compared to the cells.
-
The patient's red blood cells will burst because the blood fluid is hypertonic compared to the cells.
