B
two layers of phospholipids with cholesterol sandwiched between them.
C
a phospholipid bilayer with embedded carbohydrates.
D
diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.
2) The cholesterol associated with animal cell membranes
A
helps solidify the membranes when the room temperature is below freezing.
B
is attached to membrane proteins and extends into the watery environment surrounding the cell.
C
is an abnormality resulting from a diet high in cholesterol.
D
helps to stabilize the cell membrane at body temperature.
3) Which of the following statements regarding membrane protein function is false?
A
Membrane proteins act as receptors to molecules like hormones.
B
Membrane proteins form junctions between cells.
C
Membrane proteins serve as enzymes.
D
Membrane proteins transfer genetic information to the cytoplasm.

A
inhibition.
B
selective permeability.
C
signal transduction.
D
competition.
5) Small, nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids

require transport proteins to pass through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
B
easily pass through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
C
very slowly diffuse through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
D
are actively transported across cell membranes.
6) When two aqueous solutions that differ in solute concentration are placed on either side of a semipermeable membrane and osmosis is allowed to take place, the water will
A
exhibit a net movement to the side with lower solute concentration.
B
exhibit a net movement to the side with lower free water concentration.
C
exhibit an equal movement in both directions across the membrane.
D
exhibit a net movement to the side with higher free water concentration.
