Biological membrane quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Biological membrane card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The bulk of lipids in a cell membrane provides a fluid matrix for proteins to rotate and laterally diffuse for ______ functioning.
Answer
physiological. The bulk of lipids in a cell membrane provides a fluid matrix for proteins to rotate and laterally diffuse for physiological functioning. From the Biological membrane article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Ploceidae. Ploceidae 46,000 · Havel 27,000 · Biological membrane 16,000 · Victory Boulevard 5,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Biological membranes, in the form of eukaryotic cell membranes, consist of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded, integral and peripheral proteins used in communication and transportation of chemicals and ions.
- The bulk of lipids in a cell membrane provides a fluid matrix for proteins to rotate and laterally diffuse for physiological functioning.
- Proteins are adapted to high membrane fluidity environment of the lipid bilayer with the presence of an annular lipid shell, consisting of lipid molecules bound tightly to the surface of integral membrane proteins.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Biological membrane article was read about 16,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Biological membrane
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
