1. which molecule forms the bulk of a cell membrane?

answer: phospholipid
In terms of structure, a cell membrane (or plasma membrane) consists mainly of a phospholipid bilayer (with associated proteins embedded in it).

2. which is the best definition of diffusion?

answer: Diffusion is the bulk movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

3. which substance is commonly found in a cell membrane?

answer: proteins
Proteins are enzymes which help transport things through the membrane.

4. what is the process whereby molecules in vesicles are exported out of a cell?

answer: exocytosis

Actually there are 2 types of bulk transport and these are: exocytosis and endocytosis, and both require the spending of energy (ATP). In exocytosis, resources are excreted out of the cell via secretory vesicles.

5. In a eukaryotic cell, where is most of the DNA located?

answer: inside the nucleus

The nucleus is the main center of our cells. This contains our chromosomes and genetic information essential for the reproduction of life.
