Questions and Answers

What is the main focus of the second recorded lecture?

  • The plasma membrane (correct)
  • The organelles within eukaryotic cells
  • The structure of prokaryotic cells
  • The function of lipids in cells

    • Why is the plasma membrane described as a mosaic?

  • Because it is a single uniform structure
  • Because it lacks diversity in its components
  • Because it is made up of different colored tiles like artwork (correct)
  • Because it is composed only of lipid bilayers

    • What does the fluid mosaic model aim to do?

  • Define the structure of prokaryotic cells
  • Explain the function of lipids in cells
  • Highlight the functions of the organelles
  • Describe the plasma membrane in more detail (correct)
