According to the fluid mosaic model of cell membrane, which of the following statements is true about membrane phospholipids? A. They have water-loving tails in the interior of the membrane. B. They occur in a bilayer, with membrane proteins restricted to the surface of the membrane. C. They are free to depart from the membrane and dissolve in the surrounding aqueous solution. D. They can move laterally along the plane of the membrane. 4. Microorganisms could not grow on honey because microorganisms: A. Cannot oxidize honey B. Are dehydrated by the sugars solution in the honey C. Cannot absorb the honey D. Contains no enzymes to digest honey 5. Glucose diffuses slowly through artificial phospholipid bilayers. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large amount of glucose from the intestinal lumen into their cytoplasm which has a low glucose concentration. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal
cells? A. phagocytosis B. active transport C. diffusion D. osmosis 6. The graph below shows the change in the weight of a potato strip when it is immersed in salt solution of different concentrations. loss (g) gain (g) 4 3 2 1 0-1 -2-3 -4 Change in weight of potato strip with concentration of salt solution J K L M 0.5 1 1.5 2 N O concentration of salt in solution (%) The reason for joining the points by a best straight line is that A. averaging experimental results allows one to establish relationships. B. the individual points are wrong. C. the individual points are assumptions, while the best straight line is a fact. D. the best straight line shows the accuracy of the experimental results. 7. There are two cups of salt water with different concentrations. When diffusion of water molecules reaches equilibrium, it means: A. No water movement will be taken place B. No net water movement will be taken place C. No salt molecules will move D. Diffusion of water molecules from higher water potential to the lower
