Once at the target cell there are different ways in which types of signalling molecules cause a response. Which of the following act directly in the nucleus? A __lipid-based hormones B__sprotein-based hormones c neurotransmitters D charged molecules The diagram represents three possible pathways through a cell surface membrane. Which process is represented by each arrow? 1 | 2 3 A facilitated diffusion diffusion active transport B active transport diffusion facilitated diffusion c facilitated diffusion active transport diffusion D active transport facilitated diffusion diffusion A student places an animal cell and a plant cell into distilled water and notes down the following observations. Animal cell: swells then bursts Plant cell: swells What is the reason for this difference? plant cell surface membranes are partially permeable A B animal cells have no vacuole C animal cells have no cell wall D plant cell walls are freely permeable The fluidity of the cell surface membrane can be altered by a variety of factors. Which process would be least changed if the fluidity of cell surface membranes is decreased? A endocytosis B osmosis c diffusion D active transport 2 The cell surface membrane has a fluid mosaic structure. (a) Describe what is meant by the term fluid mosaic. One role of the cell surface membrane is to control the entry and exit of substances. (a) Complete Table 1.1 to show the transport mechanisms across cell surface membranes and examples of materials transported. Table 1.1 transport mechanism across cell surface membrane example of material transported across ‘membrane active transport sodium ions oxygen molecules bacteria exocytosis mucin (for mucus) facilitated diffusion osmosis (2) 3. The fluid mosaic model of membrane structure was first proposed in 1972 by Singer and Nicolson. The model describes in detail how the components of a membrane are organised. {a) Some of the components of the cell surface membr a re: phospholipid molecules protein molecules cholesterol molecules. In the box below, draw a labelled diagram of a section through a cell surface membrane to show how the above components are organised within the membrane. The diagram should include other named components of the membrane. Label the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane.
