Document Summary

Question 1 - the transport of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances through the cell membrane requires the presence of transmembrane integral proteins in the membrane. Cell plasma membranes consist of phospholipid molecules arranged with the hydrophobic lipid portions of the molecules in the middle of the bilayer. Transmembrane integral proteins are required for the transport of hydrophilic molecules across a cell membrane because they are unable to penetrate the lipid layer of the phospholipid bilayer. In contrast, hydrophobic molecules can readily penetrate the lipid layer of the phospholipid bilayer and do not require transmembrane integral proteins to cross a cell membrane. When an ectotherm experiences an environmental temperature lower than its optimal temperature, its body temperature decreases in proportion to the change in environmental temperature leading to a decrease in metabolic rate (mr).
