|---|---|
| Which statement about membrane lipids is FALSE ? Phospholipids w/unsaturated tails make bilayer more fluid. Saturated phospholipid tails pack more tightly than unsaturated tails. Phospholipid tails in membrane can interact w/sterols. | An increase in cholesterol molecules increases the permeability of the plasma membrane. |
| What is the role of the nuclear localization sequence in a nuclear protein? | It is bound by a receptor in the cytoplasm that directs the nuclear protein to the nuclear pore. |
| Why are glycolipids found on the extracellular, but not the cytoplasmic, surface of the plasma membrane? | The enzymes that add the sugar groups are confined to the inside of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. |
| Newly made phospholipids are synthesized and incorporated into cellular membranes where? | Synthesis occurs on the cytosolic face of the ER |
| A class of proteins that function in the ER as a “quality control” for protein folding are: | Chaperones |
| Signal sequence found in a secreted eucaryotic protein is recognized by the _ which pauses translation by ribosome until it's docked on _ membrane where nascent polypeptide can be translocated into the lumen of that compartment via translocation channel. | Signal Recognition Particle (SRP); Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) |
