- Consider the following diagram of the cell membrane. Which of the statements is NOT true regarding the cell membrane? Group of answer choices a. Proteins and carbohydrates are also components of the cell membrane. b. Certain phospholipids and proteins on the outer surface of the cell membrane are attached to carbohydrates. c. Some carbohydrates extend through the entire lipid bilayer and appear on both surfaces of the membrane d. Some of the proteins embedded in the cell membrane constitute channels (passage canals).arrow_forwardWhat are components of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane? A. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer with molecules such as cholesterol and proteins embedded in it. B. The lipid bilayer is a solid structure held together by chemical bonds. C. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer with no other molecules embedded in it.arrow_forwardIn the Fluid-mosaic model a mixture of proteins move in a sea of lipids.arrow_forward
- Differentiate the following in terms of description and properties. a. Diffusion b. Active transport c. Osmosis d. Imbibitionarrow_forwardThe cellular membrane is often called the fluid mosaic model. To what does this refer? 1. The fluidity of hydrophobic regions and proteins, and the mosaic pattern of hydrophilic regions. 2. The fluidity of phospholipids and the pattern of proteins in the membrane. 3. The fluidity of proteins and the pattern of phospholipids in the membrane. 4. The ability of proteins to switch sides in the membranes.arrow_forwardIntegral proteins are also known as Select one: a. Intrinsic proteins b. Glycosylated proteins c. Transmembrane proteins d. Bilayer proteinsarrow_forward

Peripheral membrane protein F 6. Hydrophobic portion of a transmembrane protein 7. Hydrophilic portion of a transmembrane protein Aarrow_forwardBiologists use the fluid mosaic model to descfibe membrane structure. Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? Select the three correct statements. The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophillic heads facing the aqeous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center. The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions. Because membranes are fluid, membrane protrins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane. Membranes include a mosaic, or mix of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipids bilayer. The kinky tails of some proteins help keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together.arrow_forwardAccording to the fluid-mosaic model of the plasma membrane, a.protein and phospholipids form a regular, repeating structure. b.the membrane is a rigid structure. c.phospholipids form a double layer, with the polar parts facing each other. d.proteins are free to move within a double layer of phospholipids.arrow_forward
