Quick Test on Membranes

 1.4 Membranes (3h)
1.4.1   Draw a labelled diagram of the structure of a plasma membrane. 1
   
     (show the phospholipid bilayer, cholesterol, glycoproteins and integral and peripheral proteins. )
 
1.4.2   Explain how the properties of phospholipids help to maintain the structure of cell membranes. 3
1.4.3   List FIVE functions of membrane proteins

 

1
1.4.4   Define diffusion.

 

1
 
    e.g.   This is how you would define osmosis.

    Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules, across a partially permeable membrane, from a region of lower solute (dissolved salt) concentration to a region of higher solute (dissolved salt) concentration.

 
1.4.5   Explain how protein channels allow passive transport across membranes. 3
   
 
1.4.6   Explain the role of protein pumps and ATP in active transport

.

3
1.4.7   Explain where and how vesicles are used in transport within a cell.

 

3
1.4.8   Describe how the properties of the membrane help endocytosis and exocytosis.
