Which situations involve a cell using endocytosis? A cell wraps a portion of its membrane around a droplet of nutrient‑rich water and brings the droplet inside the cell. Specific molecules bind to cell membrane proteins, triggering the membrane to fold around the molecules and bring them into the cell. A free‑living single‑celled organism engulfs a smaller single celled organism and uses the smaller organism as a food source. Digestive enzymes are disgorged into the small intestine through the cell membrane of the cell in which they were produced. Water moves across a cell membrane and into a cell through specialized protein tunnels in response to a concentration gradient.

Transport proteins allow the movement of ions and small molecules across plasma membranes. Identify the type of transport protein from each example as uniporter, symporter, or antiporter.
A protein moves one Cl−Cl− out of the cell and one HCO−3HCO3− into the cell.- ANTIPORTER A protein allows glucose to flow into a cell down its concentration gradient.-UNIPORTER A protein moves one H+H+ ion and one K+K+ ion out of the cell.-SYMPORTER
Exocytosis is one of the processes living organisms use to move molecules. Choose all the examples of exocytosis. Urine leaves a mouse's bladder and soaks into the soil. A single‑celled eukaryotic organism excretes digestive waste into the surrounding water. Oxygen moves out of a red blood cell through the cell membrane. A nerve cell releases peptides used as messengers into the extracellular space. Pancreatic cells release digestive enzymes into the small intestine.

Which statement describes the fluid mosaic model? -an explanation of how proteins embedded within the plasma membrane aid in cell functioning -the gel‑like extracellular mix of proteins, polysaccharides, and other substances within tissues -all the liquid and solid components within a cell's interior, excluding the nucleus -a phospholipid bilayer with various molecules embedded within and floating between the layers
Answer: a phospholipid bilayer with various molecules embedded within and floating between the layers
Match each description to the correct membrane protein. Carrier protein and Channel protein
Carrier protein: A passage that is open only on one side of the membrane at a time and binds the molecule or ion being transported Channel protein: a passage the directly links the intercellular and extracellular fluids and creates a water-filled pore.
Phospholipids are molecules that have two regions, the head and the tail, with distinct chemical properties. Classify the descriptions as characteristics of the heads or tails of phospholipids.
Heads: Hydrophilic, Polar Tails: Do not mix with water, hydro-carbon rich
Integral membrane proteins have different characteristics and functions than peripheral membrane proteins. Identify the statements that are properties of integral membrane proteins and those that are properties of peripheral membrane proteins.
Integral membrane proteins: Can extend through the cell membrane, can move sideways in the hydrophobic part of the membrane, acts as tunnels through the cell membrane Peripheral membrane proteins: attach the cell membrane surface
Identify these substances as those that can easily move through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane and those that are repelled by the lipid bilayer and, therefore, need help from a protein to cross the plasma membrane
Move easily through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane Oxygen Need help from a protein to cross the membrane because they are repelled by the lipid bilayer NaCl Ca ions amino acids C6H12O6
Match the descriptions to the appropriate type of transport.
Passive transport: - doesn't require energy -moves substances down the concentration gradient Active transport -requires ATP (energy) -moves substances against the concentration gradient
Two forms of endocytosis are pinocytosis and phagocytosis. Each statement is a characteristic of either pinocytosis or phagocytosis. Match each description to the appropriate category. Pinocytosis and Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis: aka "cellular drinking" tiny vesicles are formed Phagocytosis: Large particles are engulfed Large particles are formed psuedopodia are used
Sort the descriptions into properties that describe either saturated phospholipids or unsaturated phospholipids.
Saturated phospholipids -straight fatty acid tails -fatty acid tails are packed tightly together -no double bonds in the fatty acid carbon chains -makes the membrane rigid at low temperatures Unsaturated phospholipids -bent tails -space between phospholipids -contains double bonds in the fatty acid carbon chains -allows membrane to move ok at low temperatures
A cell uses many methods to transport solutes across the plasma membrane. Classify the descriptions as either simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, or bulk transport.
Simple diffusion: directly through the cell membrane Facilitated diffusion: down the concentration gradient Active transport: against the concentration gradient Bulk transport: movement of transport vesicles out of cell
Membrane proteins are a class of proteins that are embedded within or associated with the plasma membrane of a cell or organelle. Membrane proteins provide a variety of functions necessary for cellular survival. Classify each example as a structural, transport, communication, or recognition protein.
Structure: peripheral membrane Transport: aquaporin Communication: membrane receptor Recognition: pair of liver cells
Match each of the characteristics to the part of the lipid bilayer that has that property
Tails: hydrophobic, Fatty acid chains, repelled by polar molecules Heads: hydrophilic, contains phosphate.
