Show transcribed image text 2. THOUGHT QUESTIONS Every member of the Learning Community should attompt to answer these questions by themselves, for a few moments, then one member, in um for each question, shall veluneer an answer to the whole group A. Animal cells are enslosed in a cell membrane. Accooding to the luid mosaic model, this membrane is held together by hydrophobic interactions Considering the shear Soeces that mary be involved, why dees the membrane not brcak apart every time an animal moves? B. Explain why spontaneous phospholipid translocation the movement ofa phospholigid melecule from one side of a membeane bilayer to the other side of the membrane bilayer) is so slow or earely occurs C. The nud mosaic model of membrane structure has been quite ucf in esplaining membrane behavior and properties However, the description of the membrane as proteins loating in a phospholipid sea is very oversimplified. Describe some components of the membeane that are restricted in the ir lateral motion and why? (Hi the cytoskelelon) D. What types of molecules have difSculity crossing a plasma membeane? Why so
