Rudolf Virchow modified Schleiden and Schwann’s cell theory by adding a crucial principle. What key addition did he make?
1. Cells arise spontaneously from non-living matter.
2. Cells are only composed of non-cellular products.
3. Cells can be created artificially under laboratory conditions.
4. All cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Integral and peripheral proteins differ in their placement in the membrane. Why can integral proteins not be easily extracted from the membrane?
1. They are partially or completely embedded in the membrane.
2. They are loosely attached to the lipid bilayer.
3. They form ionic bonds with membrane lipids.
4. They are attached only to carbohydrate chains.

The number of mitochondria per cell varies depending on the cell’s metabolic activity. What could be inferred about a cell with an unusually high number of mitochondria?
1. It is likely engaged in high energy-demanding processes.
2. It relies primarily on glycolysis for energy production.
3. It has a decreased rate of oxidative phosphorylation.
4. It is undergoing rapid mitotic division.

The cell membrane is primarily composed of lipids and proteins. The major lipids are phospholipids, arranged in a bilayer. Regarding the structure and arrangement of lipids in the membrane:
1. Phospholipids are arranged with the hydrophobic heads facing the outer side and the polar tails facing the inner part.
2. Phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with polar heads towards the outer side and hydrophobic tails towards the inner part.
3. The membrane contains only saturated hydrocarbons.
4. Cholesterol is absent from the membrane structure.
