Which of the following would likely move through the lipid o
Solution
3. a) CO2 is small non polar molecule and soluble in lipid bilayer and therefore readily cross cell membrane.
b) Glucose is polar molecule cannot diffuse across a lipid bilayer can pass via transmembrane proteins.
c) Amino acid and K+ ions can pass through Ion Channels.
d) Water is a small molecule that easily diffuses through a cell membrane despite the lipid tails.
e) The correct option is CO2 as it is small nonpolar molecule rapidly move through cell membrane.
4. a) The distilled water is hypotonic solution. If it is transfused it causes osmotic imbalance in RBC.
b) Water diffuses into the RBC swell, because replenished blood fluid is hypotonic compared to cell.
c) So option \"C\" is the correct answer.
5. a) The membranes of winter wheat are able to remain fluid when it is extremely cold by increasing the percentage of unsaturated phospholipids in the membrane.
b) Phospholipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol unit that keeps the winter wheat fluid remain despite extreme cold temperature.
6. a) The phospholipid head contains a negatively charged phosphate group and glycerol.
b) It is called hydrophilic (water loving).
c) So option \"D\" is the correct answer.
