Hydrophilic signals - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What is the MAIN role of membranes and what are the other roles? - ANSWER - COMPARTMENTALISATION -site of chemical reactions -cell signalling -cell adhesion How do cell membranes compartmentalise? - ANSWER Membranes are hydrophobic layers that separate different regions of substances dissolved in water. This hydrophobic layer acts as a barrier preventing the movement of hydrophilic molecules from one region to another. It keeps one compartment separate from another. What are the 3 examp...

Week 3 – Cell Biology There are 3 major parts to a cell: 1. Cellular membrane 2. Nucleus 3. cytoplasm Be able to label the below picture: THE PLASMA MEMBRANE The plasma membrane is made up of a _phospholipid_ bilayer. These have _phosphate_ heads and fatty acid tails. Heads are hydrophobic/hydrophilic (circle one) while the tails are hydrophobic/hydrophilic (circle one). Intermixed inside of the membrane are p...

BIO 101 EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS What makes the "head" of a phospholipid hydrophilic? A) The even distribution of electrons across the fatty acids makes the head polar. B) The uneven distribution of electrons across the fatty acids makes the head polar. C) The phosphate group carries a negative charge, making the head polar. D) The phosphate group carries a negative charge, making the head nonpolar - ANSWER C Which would most likely pass unaided through a pla...
