Select each of the following which arc a function of the pla
Solution
Q1: Functions of plasma membrane
Scaffold for biological activities
· Responding to external signals
· Providing a selectively permeable barrier
· Compartmentalization
· Intercellular unteraction
· Energy transduction
· Transporting solutes
Q2: Membranes found in all of the following except in ribosome
Q3: Major component of cell membrane – A lipid bilayer (The first major component of the cell membrane is the phospholipid. Phospholipids are fats that form the majority of the membrane).
Q4: The central dogma for membrane biology is a- membrane proteins surrounding a bilayer
Q5: Macro molecules found in plasma membrane- Lipids, Proteins and carbohydrates (Three macromolecules combine to make cell membranes. Lipids calledphospholipids make up most of the cell membrane. Proteins serve as channels, pumps or markers and make up another large portion of the cell membrane. Carbohydrates are also a part of the membrane so cells can recognize each other).
