10 Questions
Membrane transport refers to the regulation of the passage of solutes through biological membranes.
True
The selective membrane permeability of biological membranes allows them to separate substances of distinct chemical nature.
True
The movements of most solutes through the membrane are mediated by lipid bilayers.
False
There is a group of specific transport proteins for each cell type and for every specific physiological stage.
True
The regulation of the transport proteins is only controlled at the genetic-molecular level.
False
Membrane transport proteins are not specialized in the transport of specific molecules
False
The regulation of passage through the membrane is not due to selective membrane permeability
False
The differential expression of transport proteins is only regulated at the genetic-molecular level
False
The movements of most solutes through the membrane are not mediated by membrane transport proteins
True
The cell membrane does not regulate the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell
False
Study Notes
Membrane Transport
- Membrane transport refers to the regulation of the passage of solutes through biological membranes.
- Biological membranes separate substances of distinct chemical nature due to their selective membrane permeability.
- Lipid bilayers mediate the movements of most solutes through the membrane.
- There are specific transport proteins for each cell type and for every specific physiological stage.
- The regulation of transport proteins is controlled at the genetic-molecular level.
- Membrane transport proteins are not specialized in the transport of specific molecules.
Corrections
- It is not true that the regulation of transport proteins is only controlled at the genetic-molecular level.
- Selective membrane permeability does play a role in the regulation of passage through the membrane.
- The differential expression of transport proteins is not only regulated at the genetic-molecular level.
- Membrane transport proteins do mediate the movements of solutes through the membrane.
- The cell membrane does regulate the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.
