An artificial cell consisting of an aqueous solution enclosed in a selectively permeable membrane (but with no cell wall) is immersed in a beaker containing an aqueous solution. The outside environment concentration consists of 0.01 M glucose and the inside of the cell has a concentration of 5.0 M glucose. The plasma membrane is permeable to water and monosaccharides, but impermeable to the disaccharides. Complete the following for the image below: Is the solution inside the cell isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic? Is the glucose going down or against its concentration gradient? Draw solid arrow to indicate the movement of the solute into or out of the cell.

The following are the characteristics of the setup depicted below: The left side has a higher concentration of "yellow spheres" than the right side. The blue solution is water, and the yellow spheres dissolve in water (i.e. are osmoles). The dotted orange line is a semi-permeable membrane with characteristics exactly the same as a cell's plasma membrane. Below are TWO "If" statements that are separate questions. IF the yellow spheres are freely permeable across the dotted line, the process of [ Select ] ["facilitated diffusion", "active transport", "simple diffusion", "osmosis"] will occur. Consequently, the volume of water on the left side will [ Select ] ["stay the same", "decrease", "increase"] IF the yellow spheres cannot cross the membrane at all, the process of [ Select ] ["osmosis", "facilitated…
In the "fluid " _______ cell membrane model, lipids are organized in a ________ arrangement, such that _______ portions of the lipids are exposed to either the interior or exterior of the cell, while the lipid portions are sandwiched in the middle of the membrane. As part of the cell membrane, a main function of peripheral proteins is to provide _________ , while a main function of proteins is to provide _________ . Other cell membrane molecules include a compound called __________, which functions to provide fluidity to rigid membranes and rigidity to fluid membranes; and surface carbohydrates, which function in the membrane not to provide energy, but instead to provide _________ _____ . Aminophospholipids (including PE and ) move to the inner leaflet of the membrane, by an enzyme known as the ._______ A main function of the cell membrane is to be very selective as to what is able to cross through, a condition known as a barrier.
Proteins may be bound to the exoplasmic or cytosolic face of the plasma membrane by way of covalently attached lipids. What are the three types of lipid anchors responsible for tethering proteins to the plasma-membrane bilayer? Which type is used by cell-surface proteins that face the external medium? By glycosylated proteoglycans?
Which of the following statements are acceptable and why? [Whereas all the carbohydrate in the plasma membrane faces outward on the external surface of the cell, all the carbohydrate on internal membranes faces toward the cytosol.] [Although lipid molecules are free to diffuse in the plane of the bilayer, they cannot flip-flop across the bilayer unless enzyme catalysts called phospholipid translocators are present in the membrane.]

A cell with an internal concentration of 0.03 molar glucose is placed in a test tube containing 0.02 molar glucose solution. Assuming that glucose is not actively transported into the cell, describe the internal concentration of the cell relative to its environment?
DO NOT COPY THE ANSWER FROM THE SAME QUESTION. Sassa, a biology professor, wanted to demonstrate to her students the applicability of a dialyzing membrane (DM) as a model for the cell membrane by enclosing an aqueous solution in a DM bag and immersing in a beaker containing a different solution. Substances available which are permeable to the DM include 0.02 M NaCl, 0.03 M glucose, and 0.01 M glucose. The only substance available which is completely impermeable to the DM is the 0.01 M lactose. Using the substances given and materials such as a beaker, stirring rod, and string, draw ONLY ONE set-up that can be demonstrated by Ms. Sassa that will satisfy ALL of the following conditions:a. No solute will exhibit a net diffusion out of the cell.b. Glucose will exhibit a net diffusion into the cell.c. NaCl will exhibit a zero net d. No net movement of lactose from the inside to outside of the cell. Make sure to label properly the substance inside the beaker and inside the DM bag.
Given the following cell type and solutions, draw the cell, showing the net direction of osmosis (water flow) and say what state the cell will be in. Choose from the following terms to describe the state of the cell: Turgid, flaccid, plasmolyzed, crenulated (shriveled), lysed (burst), normal. An animal cell with an internal osmolarity of 0.32 M (total concentration of all the solutes in solution) that is placed in a solution of 0.32 M NaCl.
