Biological membranes are present in all cells, and in eukaryotic cells they also form the endomembrane system. They act as gatekeepers that selectively move certain ions and compounds into and out of the cell or cell organelles. (a) Which of the following best describes a biological membrane?

a bilayer containing lipids with hydrophilic head groups facing the extracellular fluid and cytoplasm, and hydrophobic tail groups extending inward...OR... a bilayer containing lipids with hydrophobic head groups facing the extracellular fluid and cytoplasm, and hydrophilic tail groups extending inward...OR... a bilayer containing lipids with hydrophilic head groups facing inward and hydrophobic tail groups extending toward the extracellular fluid and cytoplasm.

(b) Which of the following are components of biological membranes? select all that apply...... nucleic acids...OR...lipids...OR...protiens

Expert Solution

a. Biological membrane is a bilayer containing lipids with hydrophilic head groups facing the extracellular fluid and cytoplasm and hydrophobic tail extending inward.

b. Biological membranes are composed of lipids, protiens and carbohydrates.

Where in the eukaryotic cells we find membranes. Mention at least four membrane structures? What kind of function does the cell membrane have? Mention any types of molecules that can penetrate directly through the lipid bilayer, which is really not permeable? How do larger molecules and charged ions come through membranes?

Which of the following are characteristics of biological membranes? (i) Membranes are fluid structures. (ii) The sugar residues of membrane are always located on the external surface of plasma membranes. (iii) The outer and inner surfaces of all known biological membranes have different components and different enzymatic activities, i.e., membranes are asymmetric. (iv) Membrane fluidity is controlled by fatty acid composition and protein distribution. (v) Membrane proteins and phospholipids can readily rotate within the membrane, from the inside to the...
