Document Summary

Fluid mosaic model: describes the general structures of biological membranes e. g: phospholipid bilayer. Biological membranes: similar in structure, as described by the fluid mosaic model, but differ in the number of proteins and lipids. These membranes are dynamic and are constantly forming, transforming, and breaking down. Also have carbohydrate on the outer surface that serve as recognition sites. Phospholipids: form a lake in which a variety of proteins float. Have a charged, hydrophilic head, and a fatty acid hydrophobic tail. In an aqueous layer, the phospholipids form a bilayer spontaneously due to its amphipathic structure. This helps the membranes fuse during vesicle formation, phagocytosis, and etc phospholipids vary greatly in the length, degree of unsaturation, and the polar groups present in the fatty acid chain. Example: in animal cells, a fatty acid present is cholesterol, which composes up to 25% of the cell membrane which is important for membrane integrity.

Related Questions

1. What biochemical feature of a phospholipid molecule allows phospholipids to spontaneously form closed compartments when placed in an aqueous solution?

a) they are amphipathic

b) they are charged

c) they are spherical

d) they have a single fatty acid tail

2. Other than phospholipids, what molecule do cells use to alter the fluidity of biological membranes?

3. What distinguishes active transport from passive transport?

a) active transport can utilize channel proteins

b) passive transport does not utilize carrier/transporter proteins

c) active transport requires the input of energy

d) active transport only occurs at the plasma membrane

4. In the case of active transport, the Na+/K+ pump undergoes a sequence of conformational changes that allows the movement of Na+ and K+ across a membrane against their electrochemical gradients, while in the case of ER protein import SRP undergoes a sequence of conformational changes to allow the signal sequence to interact with the translocation pore. What drives these conformational changes?

a) hydrolysis of a high energy phosphate bond

b) binding of a solute or protein

c) both

d) neither

5. Is protein import into the ER co-transcriptional, or co-translational?
