Concept explainers

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.

which one of the following diffuses more readily through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane a. polar molecules b. non polar molecules c. ionized molecules d. water
What molecule should cells insert their cell membrane to ensure membrane fluidity?
What happens to phospholipid mobility when the cell is treated with agents that disrupt the underlying membrane skeleton? options: Their mobility is unchanged. Their mobility is increased because the fences that normally restrict their diffusion are removed. Their mobility is decreased because the fences that normally restrict their diffusion are removed. Their mobility is increased because the treatment raises the temperature.

Which of the following molecules would you expect to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane most rapidly? Na+ An amino acid Starch Glucose O2
Assume a molecule must cross the plasma membrane into a cell. The molecule is very large. How will it be transported into the cell?
Would substances be able to pass through the plasma membrane if the phospholipid tails of the plasma membrane were both saturated fatty acids? No, saturated fatty acids would cause the plasma membrane to loss the fluidity it has by having some unsaturated fatty acids present. No, saturated fatty acids would cause the plasma membrane to be more fluid. Yes, saturated fatty acids would cause the plasma membrane to be a solid versus liquid. Answer not listed.
