  1. 1The main component of a biological membrane is a [blank_start]phospholipid[blank_end] [blank_start]bilayer[blank_end]. [blank_start]Hydrophilic[blank_end] heads face out while [blank_start]hydrophobic[blank_end] tails face in. The model is called a "[blank_start]fluid[blank_end] [blank_start]mosaic[blank_end] [blank_start]model[blank_end]" because there are several components making up the membrane, which all move laterally relative to each other.
    1. Aphospholipid
    2. Bbilayer
    3. CHydrophilic
    4. Dhydrophobic
    5. Efluid

    2. BCholesterol
    3. CProtein channel
    4. DIntegral protein
    5. ECytoskeleton
  3. 3A protein with a carbohydrate attached to it is called a [blank_start]glycoprotein[blank_end].
    1. Aglycoprotein

    4. DDisplaying antigens.
    5. EReaction site for some metabolic pathways.
    6. FSite of glycolysis.

    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  6. 6Which of the following statements correctly describe the effect of temperature on fatty acids? Select all that apply.
    1. AAs the temperature decreases, saturated fatty acids become less fluid.
    2. BAs the temperature decreases, saturated fatty acids become more fluid.
    3. CAs the temperature decreases, unsaturated fatty acids become more fluid.
    4. DAs the temperature decreases, unsaturated fatty acids become less fluid.
  7. 7Which of the following statements correctly describe the effect of temperature on biological membranes? Select all that apply.
    1. AAs the temperature increases, the membrane becomes more fluid.
    2. BAs the temperature increases, the membrane becomes less permeable.
    3. CAs the temperature increases, membrane components move around more.
    4. DAs the temperature increases, cholesterol works to make the membrane more fluid.
  8. 8Which of the following can denature proteins in biological membranes?
    1. AHigh temperatures
    2. BLow temperatures
    3. CExtreme pH
    4. DAcetone
    5. EEthanol
    6. FWater
