1.

You come back to the laboratory following a vacation, and all of the labels
on beakers have peeled off from the heat. You know the solutions in three
beakers are 1.0M, 0.7M, and 0.4M glucose. Design an experiment to
determine which beaker contains each of the above concentrations of
solution. The experiment should use diffusion and osmosis as the scientific
principles. Include the theory, design, results, and conclusions of the
experiment.
2. . Both the Davson-Danielli Model and the Singer-Nicolson Fluid Mosaic
Model have been used in describing cellular membranes.
a) What are the differences between the Davson-Danielli Model and the
Singer-Nicolson Fluid Mosaic Model?
The DavsonDanielli Model cellular membrane is composed of a bilayer with polar
pores that allow for the passage of molecules through the membrane. The bilaver is
also coated with proteins on the outside of the membrane. The Singer-Nicolson Fluid
Mosaic Model proposes that the bilayer contains hydrophobic fatty acid tails
positioned towards the center of the bilayer, and hydrophilic phosphate heads
positioned towards the outside. Proteins are also embedded in the layer. The term
fluid is used to describe the lateral mobility ofthe proteins and phospholipids.

b) Which model is considered more correct in today's view of cellular

membranes?
The Fluid Mosaic Model is considered to be the correct representation ofthe
phospholipid bilayer
3. A tube contains two different solutions, separated by a semi-permeable
membrane. Predict the results according to the set-up depicted below.
Which way does the water flow and why?
The water flows from right to left. NaCl is an electrolyte that dissociates in
water. The concentration of solutes on the left side is two times as great as
the concentration of solutes on the right side. Glucose does not dissociate

4. Provide a diagram and a step by step explanation for allosteric regulation of

enzymes both activation and inhibition.

Base your answer to the following question on the figure

below.

5. Without the process indicated in the above figure a cell would NOT be able to___ingest
large molecules___________
6. All amphipathic molecules have which of the following?
Hydrophillic head, hydrophobic tail
7. If a Paramecium living in pond water were to lose function of its contractile vacuole,
what would be the result?
)It would fill with water and lyse.
8. A plant uses a proton gradient to drive the active transport of sugar. This is an example of
____________cotransport ___________________
9. Active transport differs from facilitated diffusion because ) facilitated diffirsion moves
solutes from higher to lowe .
10. Just behind the tip of each root of a radish plant is thousands of tiny root hairs. What
event would be disrupted if the root hairs were removed from the radish?.
Abosrbtion of water/nutrients
11. In a plasma membrane, what event directly follows GTP binding to the G-protein-linked
receptor?......................................signal transduction................................................
12. Ion concentration within the cell is maintained by sodium-potassium pump
..
13. Define each:
(A) Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis=Occurs when specific molecules in the fluid surrounding
the cell bind to specialized receptors that concentrate in coated pits in the plasma membrane

(B) Exocytosis-Describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing
their contents to the outside of the cell
(C) Phagocytosis-Occurs when the plasma membrane wraps around solid material and engulfs it
allowing undissolved material to enter the cell
(D) Pinocytosis-Occurs when dissolved substances enter the cell and the plasma membrane folds
inward to form a channel allowing the liquid to enter
(E) Cotransport
14. Which of the following can be present in both animal and plant cells?
I. centrioles
II. chloroplasts
III. Mitochondria only this one
15. Advantages of electron microscopy include which of the following?
Higher resolution
16. The movement of solutes against a gradient that requires an expenditure of energy is
called
Active transport
17. Invagination of the cell membrane to ingest dissolved
substances is known as
pinocytosis
18. Fluidity of the cell membrane is caused by
carbohydtares
19. The process of vesicles fusing with the plasma
membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of
the cell is
enzymatic activity
