exocytosis
Substance R is too large to diffuse across the cell membrane or to be transported across by a protein. Molecules of Substance R can, however, cross the membrane and exit the cell. By which of the listed processes do they cross? Exocytosis Endocytosis Osmosis Active transport Facilitated diffusion
many double bonds between carbon atoms
A polyunsaturated fat contains which of the following? Many double bonds between carbon atoms Few water molecules attached to the carbon atoms No double bonds between carbon atoms Many double bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms A few double bonds between carbon atoms
hydrophilic; outward
In the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane, the heads of the phospholipids are ___________ and face ___________. hydrophilic; inward hydrophobic; outward hydrophobic; inward hydrophilic; outward hydrophobic; inward and outward
diarrhea
Many people believe that probiotics will help them stay healthy. For which health problems is the evidence strongest that these substances may be effective? Diarrhea High blood pressure High cholesterol Colon cancer prevention Acne
it relies on concentration gradients
Some molecules, such as glucose, require proteins for transport across the cell membrane. This method does not require energy. Why is this form of transport a type of diffusion? It relies on concentration gradients. It involves hydrophobic molecules. It requires protein carriers. It involves the movement of molecules. It requires protein pumps powered by ATP.
Molecules of X will move inside the cell, and molecules of Z wll move outside the cell until equilibrium is reached.
Substance X is more concentrated outside the cell than inside the cell. Substance Z is more concentrated inside the cell than outside the cell. Assume that both substances can pass freely through the cell membrane. Over time, what will happen? Molecules of X will move inside the cell, and molecules of Z wll move outside the cell until equilibrium is reached. Molecules of X will remain outside the cell, and molecules of Z wll remain inside the cell until equilibrium is reached. Molecules of both substances will move inside the cell because of osmosis. Molecules of both substances will move outside the cell because of osmosis. Molecules of both substances will remain where they are because they are at equilibrium.
