Explanation / Answer

1.Correct answer is: a.transfers molecules one at a time by changing conformation.

Reason: Millions of molecules can pass at a time through channel proteins .

2.Correct answer is: b.Glycolipids

Reason:Glycolipids is the best fit for the answer.

3.Correct answer is: e.all of the above

Reason:It is through all of the above means by which protein can cross the phispholipid bilayer.

4.Correct answer is:d.A & B

Reason:Cholesterol serves both the functions as mentioned.

5.Correct answer is: b.3 Na+ and 2 K+

Reason:For every 3Na+ pumped out of the cell. 2K+ ions go into the cell.

6.Correct answer is : a.cdc7

Reason:cdc7 is an enzyme that participates in the regulation of the cell cycle but not in activation of actin filaments.
