1. Singer and Nicolson's fluid mosaic model of the membrane proposed that A) membranes are a phospholipid bilayer. B) membranes are a phospholipid bilayer between two layers of hydrophilic proteins. C) membranes are a single layer of phospholipids and proteins. *D) membranes consist of protein molecules embedded in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids. E) membranes consist of a mosaic of polysaccharides and proteins. 2. An animal cell membrane will be more fluid at room temperature if it contains A) more cholesterol. B) longer chain fatty acids. *C) more cis-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. D) more trans-unsaturated fatty acids. E) any of the above 3. Which of these processes can move a solute against its concentration gradient? A) osmosis B) passive transport C) facilitated diffusion *D) active transport 4.
