Which of the following are not seen in the plasma membrane of an eukaryotic cell?

  1. Peripheral proteins

  2. Lipids

  3. Mesosomes

  4. Integral proteins


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Prokaryotes have internal membrane folds that remain attached to the plasma membrane. These mesosomes may function in cell division or in various energy-releasing reactions.

Lipids in the plasma membrane have

  1. hydrophilic part only

  2. hydrophobic part only

  3. both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts

  4. no fatty acid chains


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Most of the lipids in biological membranes are phospholipids. Phospholipids have both hydrophilic regions and hydrophobic regions. In hydrophilic regions, phosphorus containing head of phospholipid is electrically charged and hence associates with polar water molecules. In hydrophobic regions, long, nonpolar fatty acid tails of the phospholipids associate with other nonpolar materials, but they do not dissolve in water or associate with hydrophilic substances.

Na+/K+ pump in plasma membrane of animal cells is an example for

  1. passive transport

  2. osmosis

  3. ATP free transport

  4. active transport


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Na+/K+ pump requires the direct participation of the energy-rich molecule ATP and is active transport. Sodium-potassium (Na+/K+) pump is found in all animal cells and is an integral membrane of glycoprotein. It breaks down a molecule of ATP to ADP and phosphate (Pi) and uses the energy released to bring two K+ ions into the cell and export three Na+ ions.
