College Cell Structure and Function
The plasma membrane is described as being fluid mosaic. What does this mean?
  1. This means that the plasma membrane has only membrane proteins and it is watery
  2. This means that the plasma membrane has different types of phospholipids, which are hydrophilic
  3. This means that the plasma membrane is made of water that has phospholipids that float in it
  4. This means that proteins, which are embedded in the plasma membrane, are able to drift about in the membrane
  5. This means that plasma membrane produces a large amount of water
College Cell Structure and Function

College Cell Structure and Function
If protein A has a channel/tunnel and protein B has a binding site, transport protein A                                                                                                                                                     while transport protein B                                                                                                                                                    .
  1. transports solute across cell membranes by active transport .... transports solute by passive transport
  2. participates in osmosis ..... moves solute from high to low solute concentration
  3. allows solute to travel up the concentration gradient across the cell membrane .... allows solute to pass passively down the concentration gradient
  4. obtains energy for solute transport from ATP .... does not require energy for transport of solute
  5. transports solute across cell membranes by facilitated diffusion .... transports solute up the concentration gradient by active transport
