Ans 1. Which of the following lipid composition options has the LEAST membrane
wers
fluidity?
:
phospholipids with short-chain, unsaturated fatty acids
phospholipids with long-chain, saturated fatty acids
phospholipids with short-chain, saturated fatty acids
phospholipids with long-chain, unsaturated fatty acids
2. Which one of the following is considered an integral membrane protein?
a protein with its N-terminus in the cytoplasm and its C-terminus in the
extracellular space
a protein attached to a phospholipid via ionic bonding with the head group of
the lipid molecule
a protein attached to a transmembrane protein via hydrogen bonding
3. Phospholipase is an enzyme that cleaves the phosphate head group off a
phospholipid molecule. The plasma membrane is not, however, permeable to the
enzyme. Imagine a cell where phospholipid A is present in the layer of
phospholipids facing the exterior of the cell, and phospholipid B is present in the
layer of phospholipids facing the interior of the cell. After adding phospholipase to
the medium in which the cell is growing, what would you expect to find in the fluid
surrounding the cell?
phosphate head groups from both phospholipids A and B
phosphate head groups from neither phospholipids A nor B
the phosphate head group from phospholipid B only
the phosphate head group from phospholipid A only
4. In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the
composition of their plasma membranes to maintain the proper degree of fluidity. As
summer turns to fall and eventually into winter, which of the following would you
predict you would observe in the plasma membranes of organisms that are unable to
regulate their body temperature?
a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and an increase in side
chain saturation
a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side
chain saturation
an increase in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side
chain saturation
an increase in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and an increase in side
chain saturation

into the cell
out of the cell
6. Which of the following represents how easily the molecules cross a synthetic
membrane composed of phospholipids but not proteins, from most easily (freely
permeable) to least easily (not permeable)?

hydrophobic molecules, ions, small polar molecules, large polar molecules

7.
The beaker in the illustration above contains two solutions of salt with different
concentrations (measured by molarity, M). The two solutions are separated by a
membrane that is permeable to both salt and water. Which of the following will
occur in this container?
Net diffusion of water from A to B and of salt from B to A.
Diffusion of salt across the membrane, but not of water.
Net diffusion of water across the membrane, but not of salt.
Net diffusion of salt from B to A, but no net diffusion of water.
Net diffusion of water from B to A and of salt from A to B.
8. Suppose you are studying the transport of a certain polar molecule across the plasma
membrane of cells in culture. Over a period of time, you measure the concentration
of a polar molecule inside and outside of the cells. You find that the concentration of
the molecule is lower in the cell but is gradually increasing. You also measure the
ATP concentration inside the cell and find that it is not changing. Which of the
following is probably responsible for the transport of this polar substance into the
cell?
active transport
facilitated diffusion
endocytosis
secondary active transport
simple diffusion
