Question
required information
cellulose surrounds membrane
cholesterol in membrane
only surrounds some cells in organisms body
transport proteins embedded in membrane
composed primarily of nucleic acids
membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids
helps the cell maintain homeostasis
only animals (1/4)
both (2/4)
only plants (3/4)
neither (4/4)
Brief Explanations
- Cellulose surrounds the cell - wall of plant cells, not animal cells, so "Cellulose surrounds membrane" goes in "Only plants".
- Cholesterol is a component of animal cell membranes, not typically found in plant cell membranes in the same way, so "Cholesterol in membrane" goes in "Only animals".
- The description "Only surrounds some cells in organism's body" is too vague to be specifically assigned to plants or animals and doesn't fit the typical features of cell - membranes or cell - wall components of either, so it goes in "Neither".
- Transport proteins are embedded in the cell membranes of both plant and animal cells for the transport of substances across the membrane, so "Transport proteins embedded in membrane" goes in "Both".
- Cell membranes and cell - wall components are not primarily composed of nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are mainly related to genetic information storage and expression, so "Composed primarily of nucleic acids" goes in "Neither".
- Both plant and animal cell membranes are a bilayer of phospholipids, which is a fundamental structure of cell membranes, so "Membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids" goes in "Both".
- The cell membrane of both plant and animal cells helps the cell maintain homeostasis by regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell, so "Helps the cell maintain homeostasis" goes in "Both".
