Chapter 37.5, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The other contexts about the fusion of intracellular vesicles with a cell's plasma membrane.
Introduction:
The plasma membrane separates the interior of the cell from the extracellular environment. Its predominant components are proteins and lipids, and it is instrumental in signaling pathways as well as ionic homeostasis. A vesicle is a structure within or outside a cell, consisting of liquid or cytoplasm enclosed by a lipid bilayer. Intracellular vesicles can be merged with the plasma membrane to release its contents to the cell's outside.

Describe the molecular interactions that a cell uses to migrate through extracellular matrix. (use the key terms : actin, integrin, fibronectin)
Provide an example of a molecule that cannot pass through the membrane? Can pass but with assistance? Can freely pass?
Practitioners of naturopathic medicine often use “essential oils” such as lavender oil. (Note that essential refers to their essence or scent and does not imply that these substances are necessary for health.) One of the components of lavender oil is shown below. Based on its structure, could this molecule diffuse through the cell membrane of a skin cell after the oil was applied to the skin surface? Explain your answer

(a) osmosis (b) facilitated diffusion (c) all forms of carrier-mediated transport (d) active transport (e) simple diffusionarrow_forward
- Identify the non-polar organic molecule which can pass freely through the plasma membrane. CH3CH2OH (ethanol) N2 (nitrogen gas) CO2 (carbon dioxide) C6H6 (benzene) C6H12O6 (glucose)arrow_forwardThere are several membrane-bound organelles in cells (e.g. nuclei, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum) that can also have ion channels in their membranes. Sketch an electrical circuit model of a cell that expresses sodium, calcium, and chloride ion channels in its cellular membrane and calcium and chloride ion channels in its nuclear envelope membrane.arrow_forwardExplain why there is resting membrane? *arrow_forward
- Draw and label a cell lipid bilayer and diagram how the following transport processes take place: passive diffusion of oxygen into the cell, facilitated diffusion of potassium into the cell, active transport of sucrose into the cell. Using different symbols (circles for oxygen, squares for sucrose, and triangles for potassium ions), show the relative concentrations (gradients) of these substances on the inside and outside of the cell. For example, to show that oxygen enters the cell by going “down” its gradient, you would draw more circles on the outside of the cell than inside the cell. Be sure to show and label membrane proteins when appropriate, and show the electric membrane potential using “+”s (pluses) on one side and “-”s (minuses) on the other side of the membrane. Also show the proton pump which uses ATP as a source of energy.arrow_forwardAll of the following are passive membrane transport processes except: (a) diffusion. (b) facilitated diffusion. (c) vesicular transport. (d) osmosis.arrow_forwardWould it be possible for small ions to passively diffuse (simple diffusion) across a selectively permeable membrane? Why? A Yes, because ions are highly non-polar in nature B Yes, because ions are highly polar in nature No, because it needs the aid of transport proteins to cross the membrane No, because not only transport proteins but also metabolic energy from ATP are needed to transport ions across the plasma membranearrow_forward
- Define and provide an example for each of the following: simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, passive transport and active transport.arrow_forwardResearchers tried to explain how vesicular transport occurs in cells by attempting to assemble the transport components. They set up microtubular tracks along which vesicles could be transported, and they added vesicles and motor protein kinesin. Yet, when they put everything together, there was no movement or transport of vesicles. What were they missing? endoplasmic reticulum contractile microfilaments OATP an axon intermediate filamentsarrow_forwardThe cytoplasm of a certain cell is composed of a solution that is 98% water, 2% solutes. Consider the solution shown in the beaker in this picture: FOOE OOS Foor solution. [Select] Cytoplasm is 98% water, 2% solutes. The solution in the beaker would be considered when compared to [Select] The plasma membrane is impermeable to solutes. Beaker solution is 98% water, 2% solutes the cell. We would expect that the cell would [Select] if it was placed in the would account for whatever changes might occur to the volume of the cytoplasm of the cell when it is placed in the solution.arrow_forward
