Answer 14

1)Glycerol
2)phosphate
3)2 fatty acids

Question 15

Why is the plasma membrane known as fluid mosaic model? (2)

Answer 15

1)Fluid: Phospholipid move about by diffusion within their monolayer
2)Mosaic: Not all membrane proteins are fixed

Question 16

Answer 16

1)Exocytosis
2)Endocytosis

Question 17

Ions

Question 20

Definition of hypotonic solution (2)

Answer 20

1)Higher water potential inside
2)Lower solute potential inside

Question 21

Definition of hypertonic solution (2)

Answer 21

1)Higher water potential outside
2)Lower water potential outside

Question 22

Definition of isotonic solution (2)

Answer 22

1)Same water potential
2)Same solute potential

Question 23

Factors affecting membrane fluidity (3)

Answer 23

1)The type of fatty acid tails
2)Cholesterol
3)Temperature

Question 24

The two types of fatty acid tails (2)

Answer 24

1)Saturated
2)Unsaturated

Question 25

How does the type of fatty acid tails affect membrane fluidity (2)

Answer 25

1)Unsaturated tails have more chinks due to double bond 2)More permeable

Question 26

The structure of cholesterol (2)

Answer 26

1)A hydrophilic part 2)A hydrophobic part

Question 27

How does cholesterol affect membrane fluidity (2)

Answer 27

1)High temperature: Hold on to fatty acid tails thus immobolise them which decreases fluidity 2)Low temperature: Creates gap which increases fluidity

Question 28

How does temperature affect membrane fluidity

Answer 28

1)High temperature: Proteins and phospholipid vibrates which creates gap and increase fluidity 2)Low temperature: Proteins and phospholipid closely packed, less gap and decreases fluidity
