Ans:- True.
plasma memebrane is composed of
LIPID :- 40% (eg phospholipid , cholesterol)
membrane protein -- 55%
carbohydrate -5%
The plasma membrane is phospholipids, cholesterol, and peripheral proteins True or False
The liver can absorb cholesterol from peripheral tissues via the blood. This process is known as lapel cholesterol transport. Which is considered to be the quantitatively significant way in which liver hepatocytes absorb cholesterol from peripheral tissues in man? a. Cholesterol is primarily absorbed from HDL particles that are drained of cholesterol by binding to Scavenger Receptor B1 in the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. b. Cholesterol is absorbed primarily by lipoprotein lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of colesterylestre in triglyceride- and colesterylester-rich VLDL...
2) A. Describe the structure of the phosphatidylcholine. B. Explain why phospholipids, and not triglycerides, are the primary component of the plasma membrane 3) Describe the hydrophobic effect and how promotes the formation of vesicles rather than sheets of phospholipids. 4) Define the following terms in relation to how the protein is associated with the plasma membrane: a. Transmembrane protein b. Integral protein c. Peripheral protein d. Anchored membrane proteins
The liver can absorb cholesterol from peripheral tissues via the blood. This process is known as reverse cholesterol transport. Which is considered to be the quantitatively most significant way in which liver hepatocytes take up cholesterol from human peripheral tissue? a. Cholesterol is amphipathic and circulates in the blood freely or bound to globulins, from which it is primarily taken up by the hepatocytes by direct incorporation into the plasma membrane. b. Cholesterol is primarily taken up by endocytosis of...
True/False question: The pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine has virtually eliminated whooping cough in the United States. The phospholipids, proteins, and cholesterol in the plasma membrane are firmly bonded to each other via covalent bonds, lending strength and appropriate rigidity to the membrane. Water moves via osmosis from an area with a lower solute concentration to an area with a higher solute concentration. Weight loss typically leads to a reduction in both the number and size of adipocytes.
4. peripheral membrane proteins / integral membrane proteins 5. prokaryotic / eukaryotic 6. enzymes / ribozymes 7. active membrane transport / passive membrane transport
Although lipid-linked proteins and peripheral membrane proteins both exist outside of the plane of the membrane, one can be removed somewhat easily whereas removing the other requires disrupting the membrane. Which type of protein requires the membrane to be disrupted to isolate it? Explain your choice. (Describe the connection each protein has to the cell membrane and explain why the membrane must be disrupted to isolate one of the proteins.)
Carbon dioxide and oxygen are molecules that can move freely across a plasma membrane. What determines the direction that carbon dioxide and oxygen molecules move? A. orientation of cholesterol in the plasma membrane B. concentration gradient across the plasma membrane C. confi guration of phospholipids in the plasma membrane D. location of receptors on the surface of the plasma membrane
21. Which property has not been observed for membrane proteins? a. energy storage b. transport of substances into and out of the cell catalysis (enzymatic activity) acting as a receptor c. d. 22. In the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure the proteins are specifically bonded to the lipids b. a. the proteins "float" in the lipid bilayer the proteins are sandwiched between the lipid molecules c. d. the lipids are sandwiched between the protein molecules 23. All steroids contain...
The plasma membrane is composed of both lipids and proteins. The relative concentration of each in the plasma membrane is partly regulated by the A. chromosomes, which dictate the types and number of membrane molecules that are generated B. Golgi complex, which functions in sorting molecules destined for the membrane C. rough endoplasmic reticulum, which functions in the translation of mRNA into membrane proteins D. vacuoles, which transport molecules to the plasma membrane
4. In the plasma membrane, phosphatidylcholine is predominantly in the outer leaflet and phospbatidylseting is predominantly in the inner leaflet. This means that there is high flippase activity for phospbatidylsetine there is high flippuse activity for phosphatidylcholine phosphatidylcholine inserted into the outer leaflet and phospbatidylsetine inserted into the inner leaflet phosphatidylcholine inserted into the pancytoplasmic side of the ER membrane 5. Which of the following is(are) NOT true about phospholipid synthesis and distribution in a eukaryote? when a vesicle fuses...
