The cellular plasma membrance will shrink when the cell is placed into an isotonic solution. C. Solute concentrations in the solutions are equal acorss the cellular plasma membrane. D. Solvent concentrations cause unequal solution concentrations across the plasma membrane.
A young man in his 20s has a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital. Blood is drawn, and his cholesterol level is tested and found to be very high. The doctor tells him that he has a genetic condition in which he is unable to effectively remove LDL particles containing cholesterol from his blood and into his cells. Which cellular process is not functioning normally? a. channel-mediated facilitated diffusion b. receptor-mediated endocytosis c. exocytosis d. simple diffusion?

To increase the fluidity of membranes at low temperatures, cells synthesize more saturated fatty acids and fewer unsaturated fatty acids. D. Transbilayer diffusion involves the transfer of lipids from one face of the bilayer to another.
1) Draw a model of the plasma membrane to form a cell. Include a tube embedded in the membrane. Show 2 water molecules inside the cell and 12 water molecules outside the cell. Indicate which way the water will move through the aquaporin with an arrow. a) Using your knowledge of membrane transport, which direction will the water molecules move through the aquaporin? Why? b) Why would water have a difficult time crossing the cell membrane? Keep in mind the structure of water in your answer. 2) Develop an explanation for the necessity of having kinks in the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes. a) Develop an explanation for the necessity of having kinks in the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes.
When you jump in the bath, water does not run around all your cells and directly into your body. Instead water intake and release is regulated by special proteins called aquaporins. Why can't water run around your cells but instead has this regulation? Select one: a. Water is nonpolar, like our bodies and so cannot mix easily. b. Because we live in a hypertonic environment anyway. c. Desomosomes and gap junctions provide orientation for water movement. d. Our epithelial (skin) cells have tight junctions which form a 'water-tight' seal between cells preventing substances from going around the cell.
