1. Plasma membrane defines the border of the cell as well as maintain it's contact with environment in a controlled manner. The 3 major components of plasma membrane and their functions are;
a. Phospholipids - In the form of bilayer consisting of lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails and a phosphate head and makes a semipermiable membrane between cells and outside environment.
b. Proteins - Performs the cross membrane transportation and cell communication.
c. Crabohydrates (sugars and sugar chains) - These molecules help cells recognize each other.

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to _______ facilitated diffusion cotransport simple diffusion active transport a process that requires energy from the cell
Biological membranes are selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules to cross the membrane, but not others. Classify the molecules or ions depending on how they cross a biological membrane. Note that some of these examples may also utilize active transport to traverse a membrane. However, this question is limited to passive transport processes only.

what about the nucleosides? how could it cross the membrane? Q6: How would you expect nucleosides and steroids to cross the plasma membrane? And what are the requirements for compounds to pass through the membrane [20% Points] plasma * The el membrane is Selectively permeable; hydrophobic molecules and Small polar molecules can diffuse through the lipid Layer, but ions and Larg polar molecules Cannot. Integral membrane proteins enable ians and lary polar molecules to pass through by passive or active...

Questions I a) What is osmosis? b) What is dialysis? Can MgSO4 pass through? Explain. 2. Can starch pass through a dialyzing membrane? (Support your claim with evidence from the experiment.) 3. Explain why people who are adrift in a lifeboat without a supply of fresh water are advised not to drink ocean water. note - Ocean water is saltier than body fluids like blood plasma. 4. In terms of osmosis, what happens when fresh water is inhaled into a...
Diagram and describe the structure of the plasma membranes of animal cells. How is membrane structure related to permeability? Explain the various ways that different substances cross cell membranes. Give an example of something that crosses membranes each way, and explain why this substance must cross membranes by that particular route, and not some other way. [Hint: Your answer should include all the things that are attached to the membrane, the interactions that hold membranes together, what controls membrane fluidity,...
