Fluid Mosaic model - anatomical structure

Which type of biological macromolecule is the main component of the plasma membrane?

• carbohydrate

• lipid

• protein

• nucleic acid

This image is an example of a phospholipid. Which part of a phospholipid is HYDROPHOBIC?

• the phosphate "head"

• the lipid "tails"

This image is an example of a phospholipid. Which part of a phospholipid is HYDROPHILIC?

• the phosphate "head"

• the lipid "tails"

Where can carbohydrates be found when part of a plasma membrane?

• On the outside of the membrane

• On the inside of the membrane

• Embedded part of the way into the membrane

• Embedded the whole way through the membrane

• All of the above

Where can PROTEINS be found when part of a plasma membrane?

• On the outside of the membrane

• On the inside of the membrane

• Embedded part of the way into the membrane

• Embedded the whole way through the membrane

• All of the above

What is the "big idea" of the fluid mosaic model of plasma membranes?

• the plasma membrane creates a specialized FLUID that looks like a MOSAIC.

• the plasma membrane is a MOSAIC.

• the fluid mosaic model is NOT related to the plasma membrane.

• a plasma membrane is a MOSAIC of components that move FREELY and FLUIDLY.

What does "hydrophobic" mean?

• water loving, associates with water

• water fearing, does not associate with water

• a world war II submarine

• an example would be solutes like sugar or salt
