The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane as a dynamic structure. Which of the following best explains how the molecular structure of phospholipids contributes to the fluidity of the membrane?

  • The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane as a dynamic structure. Which of the following best explains how the molecular structure of phospholipids contributes to the fluidity of the membrane?Kinks in unsaturated fatty acid tails prevent tight packing of the phospholipid molecules.
  • A researcher treats a cell with a chemical that removes carbohydrates from the external surface of the plasma membrane. Which of the following functions would most likely be impaired?The ability of the cell to be recognized by other cells, such as immune cells.
  • Cholesterol is a vital component of mammalian cell membranes. How does cholesterol regulate membrane fluidity as the environmental temperature decreases?It prevents the phospholipids from packing too tightly together and solidifying.
