Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>From the diagram with corresponding labels:</u>

  1. Exocytosis
  2. Facilitated diffusion
  3. Endocytosis
  4. Diffusion
  5. Active transport

<u>Further explanation:</u>

Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid by layer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Active transport is a mediated process that requires the use of specialized membrane proteins these proteins require energy in the form of avenues and triphosphate or ATP in order to facilitate necessary conformational changes to the large protein molecules.

Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane. Channel proteins which are pores filled with water versus enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane,  from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is a passive part of facilitated diffusion

<em>...some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport in order to move across the membrane this includes endocytosis and exocytosis</em>

<em> </em>

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of invagination; piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle; different methods of endocytosis such as Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Similarly, in exocytosis, the particles (Protein, Waste material etc.) surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and attaches to the plasma membrane’s interior in a process opposite to endocytosis;  material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.

Regarding plasma membranes, which of the following statements is false?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Regarding plasma membranes, which of the following statements is false, would be, B: The thickness of the plasma membrane is only about 1 nm.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is the structure of the cell that provides a protective barrier, between a cell´s intracellular environment and the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, aside from providing structural support, and protection, a cell´s membrane also serves as a communication media between the cells, and between a cell and all other elements outside of it. This membrance is formed by a phospholipid bilayer, with a space in between the two layers where the tail ends meet and it also has in its structure cholesterol and other lipids that allow the membrane to be fluid, but also structurally strong. However, what is not true is the thickness, as it is known that plasma membranes´ thickness actually lies between 7.5 to 10 nm, and not merely 1 nm. This is why the answer is B.
