1
Q

T/F: Glycolipids only appear in the inner layer of the plasma membrane.

A

False. They only appear on the OUTER layer. They’re PERIPHERAL lipids.

2
Q

How many polar regions does the plasma membrane have?

A

2

3
Q

T/F: Integral proteins only have a hydrophobic region, which determines their orientation within the plasma membrane.

A

False. Integral proteins have both HYDROPHILIC and HYDROPHOBIC REGIONS.

4
Q

What is the function of the glycocalyx portion of a peripheral protein?

A

Cell adhesion and cell recognition

A

sodium, potassium, glucose

6
Q

_______ pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid due to the force of gravity acting upon it.

A

Hydrostatic

_______, that move two solutes in the opposite direction.

A

Symporters

Antiporters

15
Q

_________. is carried out by most cells of the body. It is the process by which small amounts of extracellular fluid along with any dissolved solutes are taken up into the cell.

Q

T/F: Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that bud off from the Golgi complex.

A

True

19
Q

T/F: The LUMEN of the Golgi complex is the site of PHOSPHORYLATION of proteins during post-translational modification.

A

True

20

22
Q

During _________, specific enzymes within the nucleus ‘read’ the sequence of bases in the DNA template to produce an intermediate molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA), which has a complementary structure to the template.

During ________, this mRNA molecule binds to a ribosome, and is read by other enzymes to produce a protein.
