SECTION 1: CELLULAR PHYSIOLOGY
Chapter 1: Principles of Cell and Membrane Function
Multiple Choice Questions
1. Which of the following is the most abundant intracellular cation?
A) Sodium (Na⁺)
B) Calcium (Ca²⁺)
C) Potassium (K⁺)
D) Magnesium (Mg²⁺)
Answer: C
Rationale: Potassium is the most abundant intracellular cation, with an intracellular concentration of
approximately 140 mEq/L, compared to an extracellular concentration of approximately 4 mEq/L. This
gradient is maintained primarily by the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump.
2. The fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane proposes that:
A) Proteins are fixed in a rigid lipid framework
B) Lipids and proteins move laterally within the bilayer
C) Carbohydrates form the structural backbone of the membrane
D) Cholesterol is absent from animal cell membranes
Answer: B
Rationale: The fluid mosaic model (Singer and Nicolson) describes the membrane as a dynamic structure
in which both lipids and proteins can move laterally within the plane of the bilayer. Proteins float in or
on a fluid lipid bilayer, and the membrane is not a rigid structure.
3. Which of the following membrane transport mechanisms requires direct hydrolysis of ATP?
A) Facilitated diffusion
B) Secondary active transport
C) Primary active transport
D) Simple diffusion
