Which statements accurately reflect the permeability of the cell membrane? Choose all that apply. The hydrophilic part of the ce

ll membrane is A, the phosphate head. The lipid tails are hydrophobic and will only allow molecules which are small and polar to pass through. Molecules that are large or charged must use a channel protein, such as D, to cross the cell membrane. Molecules using membrane proteins, such as E, for transport require energy. Charged molecules, such as K+ or Ca++ are unable to pass through the lipid bilayer because of their charge and must use a membrane protein to cross the cell membrane. C, the lipid tails, are hydrophobic and repel water.

Explanation:

  • The hydrophilic part of the cell membrane is A, the phosphate head.
  • Molecules that are large or charged must use a channel protein, such as D, to cross the cell membrane.
  • Molecules using membrane proteins, such as E, for transport require energy.
  • Charged molecules, such as K+ or Ca++ are unable to pass through the lipid bilayer because of their charge and must use a membrane protein to cross the cell membrane. C, the lipid tails, are hydrophobic and repel water.

Further Explanation:

Arranged in a phospholipid bilayer, the cell membrane is semi-permeable; allowing entry into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing small molecules of water and hydrophilic uncharged molecules to move across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Transport proteins spanning the plasma membrane facilitate the movement of ions and other complex, polar molecules which are typically prevented from moving across the membrane.

There are two types:

  • Carrier proteins bind specifically bind to molecules and move them down concentration gradients. Along with using facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins also use energy in the form of ATP and modifiy solute-specific regions, that aid in regulating ion exchange (K+ and Ca2+), through the hydrophobic layer of the plasma 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.

How can energy from the motion of the crank on a hand-powerd flashlight produce heat?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

When you manually crank the flashlight, a coil of wire inside the generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This allows an electrical current to flow through the flashlight, thus lighting the bulb of the flashlight.

__________ is/are defined as a group of potentially breeding organisms within a species in a given space and time.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Population.

Explanation:

Population may be defined as the smallest unit of ecology and the evolution might occur at the population level.

Population is the group of the organisms that belong to the particular species and lives in a specific particular habitat. The individual of the population breeds among themselves. Sometimes the individual of two different population can also breed among themselves in extreme cases.

Thus, the answer is population.
