Explanation / Answer

1. Proteins rapidly pass artificial membrane (liposome). -FALSE
As liposomes behave as a lipid bilayer, proteins cannot pass through rapidly.
2. Amphiphatic detergent such as SDS spontaneously forms bilayer in water. -TRUE
3. Cholesterol does have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. -TRUE
4. Fat molecules are one of the major components of the plasma membrane. -TRUE
5. Phospholipid molecules such as phosphatidylcholine spontaneously form bilayer.-TRUE
6. Flippase facilitates lateral movement of phospholipids within the plane of the membrane.
7. Glycolipids make bilayer less permeable to small water soluble molecules. -FALSE

Flippases facilitate flip flop movement but not lateral movement
8. Membrane inner leaflet is enriched with phosphatidylcholine, Sphingomyelin, and Glycolipid.-FALSE

Glycolipids are found only in the outer leaflet
9. Plasma membrane proteins can have an enzyme activity.-FALSE

Plasma membrane proteins do not have enzyme activity
10. A single pass membrane protein must have an amphiphatic alpha helix.-TRUE
11. Plasma membrane proteins can be linked to a lipid molecule at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. -TRUE
12. The lateral motility of membrane proteins can be restricted by tight junctions. -TRUE
13. Channel proteins have specific binding sites for ions and thus slower than carrier proteins.-FALSE

Channel proteins are faster than carrier proteins as carrier proteins go through change in conformation
22. The nuclear pore complex forms a gate through which molecules pass the nucleus uni-directionally.-FALSE

molecules can pass in and out of the nucleus
23. A completely folded protein is imported into a mitochondrion through a large non-selective pore.-FALSE

The protein needs to be unfolded for transport into the mitochondrion and needs selection by a target sequence
35. Small vesicles from ER near the plasma membrane can fuse with the plasma membrane upon bypassing Golgi apparatus.-FALSE

The vesicles from ER are passed through Golgi for processing, hence they cannot fuse directly with the plasma membrane.
40. The Na-K Pump is a GTPase that can adopt active and inactive conformational states.-FALSE

It is an ATPase
4. All members of the G protein coupled receptors interact with small GTPase Ras.-TRUE
15. cAMP is an example of a first messenger.-FALSE

It is a secondary messenger
