Question
Chapter 5.1, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To draw: A simple sketch to illustrate how a transmembrane protein might be positioned in a lipid bilayer.
Concept introduction: Membrane proteins are a part of biological membrane that primarily interacts with it to perform various functions in the cell. There are various membrane proteins that help in the transportation of molecules in and out of the cell. Based on extend of attachment to the membrane, the membrane proteins are classified as integral proteins, peripheral proteins, and transmembrane proteins.

- Describe the structure of a phospholipid and a phospholipid bilayerarrow_forwardThe plasma membrane is said to be a fluid-mosaic model because it contains a. waxes suspended within a mosaic of phospholipids.b. a mosaic of proteins suspended within a phospholipid bilayer.c. a polysaccharide mosaic suspended within a protein bilayer.d. a mosaic of phospholipids suspended within a protein bilayer.arrow_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_forward
