Unit 1b Lesson 1 Quick Check

Define cell (plasma) membrane

• lipid that helps minimize effects of temperature

• only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane and are attached to proteins or lipids; form distinctive cellular markers

• flexible boundary of a cell that separates a cell from its surroundings

• may extend partway into the plasma membrane, cross the membrane entirely, or be loosely attached to its inside or outside face

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"

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

What does "hydrophilic" mean?

• water loving, associates with water

• water fearing, does not associate with water

• a world war II submarine

• an example would be solutes like oil or fat

The function of the plasma membrane is....

• to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
• fight bacteria and viruses that enter the cell.
• provide rigid support and protection to the cell.
• make sure each cell can move

Which cells are more efficient at obtaining nutrients?

• Small Cells
• Medium Size Cells
• Large Cells
• X-Large Cells

What is the relationship between the cell size and the cell nutrient absorption rate?

• The smaller the cell size the less nutrients are absorbed
• The larger the cell size the more nutrients are absorbed
• The smaller the cell size the more nutrients are absorbed
• The relationship between cell size and nutrient absorption rate cannot be determined
