NU 608 LATEST 2024 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS (ALL ARE CORRECT) A GRADED Fluid mosaic model: and functions (4) - Answer- a mosiac of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbs that float in the fluid lipid bylayer. Allows the cell to protect itself by altering the number of receptor cells, hormones, bacteria, virus, drugs, and chemicals that can attach to it. 1. transport molecules in and out of cells 2. facilitate membrane reactions 3. receive chemical messages 4. crea...

LifeSci 2A03 Test 1 Questions and Answers 100% Pass What is the primary function of the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells? They produce ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy for various cellular processes. How do lysosomes contribute to cellular homeostasis? They break down and recycle cellular waste, damaged organelles, and macromolecules to maintain cellular balance. What role does the endoplasmic reticulum play in protein synthesis? The rough endoplasmic reticu...

Pancreas and Type 1 diabetes - Answer- The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin, and it plays a major role in regulating blood glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough or any insulin. How does insulin work in diabetes? - Answer- Insulin pumps are small, computerized devices that mimic the way the human pancreas works by delivering small doses of short acting insulin continuously (basal rate). The device also is used to deliver variable amounts of in...

Honors Biology Unit 4 Questions and Answers Already Passed What is the primary function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in cells? The ER synthesizes and transports proteins and lipids within the cell. How do vacuoles contribute to cell function? Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells. What role do mitochondria play in energy production? Mitochondria generate ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. What is ...

Fluid mosaic model - Answer current cell membrane model, proteins dispersed, extracellular surface contains glycol lipids and proteins Integral proteins - Answer - transmembrane proteins, lipid anchor proteins (GPI anchor; sugar-phosphate chain) Integral protein functions - Answer membrane receptors, cell adhesion, transmembrane movement - enzymes - mediators of intracellular signalling

Three types of lipids in the cell membrane - Answer - Phospholipids - sphingolipids - cholesterol Phospholipids can arrange themselves as - Answer bilayer, Micelles (ball) or liposomes (ball with aqueous centre) Fluid mosaic model - Answer current cell membrane model, proteins dispersed, extracellular surface contains glycol lipids and proteins

Honors Biology Unit 2 Test Questions and Answers Graded A+ What is the significance of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane? The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a dynamic structure with proteins and lipids moving freely within a fluid bilayer, which helps maintain its flexibility and functionality. What role do centrioles play in cell division? Centrioles help organize microtubules during cell division, facilitating the separation of chromosomes. How d...

Biology 1033 Exam 2 Dr. Hasek Questions and Answers 100% Pass What is the name for integral proteins that span only part of the cell membrane? - A) Peripheral proteins - B) Transmembrane proteins - C) Surface proteins - D) Cytoplasmic proteins Explanation: Transmembrane proteins span the entire membrane, embedding themselves within it and often facilitating communication and transport between the inside and outside of the cell. Which statement accurately describes the fluid n...

Bio 1201 exam 2 Gregg latest update graded A+ transport proteins are responsible for controlling passage across the membrane fluid mosaic model The membrane is a mosaic of protein molecules bobbing in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids fatty acid tails nonpolar, hydrophobic fatty acid heads hydrophilic, polar periphial proteins bound to the surface of the membrane integral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic core (ones that span the membrane are transmembrane protiens How ...
