What type of amino acid side chain would you expect to find on the surface of a protein embedded in a cell membrane?

hydrophobic, if the protein in the cell membrane is completely in, it means it is hydrophobic, therefore the amino acid chain is also hydrophobic.

What kind of amino acid would you expect to find embedded in the plasma membrane lipid bilayer a. non-polar b. polar c. charged d. cysteine?
The inner environment of the plasma membrane is a non-polar environment - one that does not like the entry of water or molecules that like water. A non polar amino acid is one that does not like water. Therefore, a non-polar amino acid would feel comfortable being embedded in the plasma membrane
What would you expect to find in exocytotic vesicles?
You would expect to find fluids inside of the exocytotic vesicles which will then move to the membrane to release the fluids on the outside...
Where would you expect to find the carboxyl end?
at the cytosol surface
In which type of cell would you expect to find a membrane-enclosed nucleus?
All eukaryotic cells have a membrane-enclosed nucleus. Only bacteria and archaea lack a nucleus and their DNA is simply diffused throughout the cell.
What organelles would you expect there to be a lot of if the cell made a lot of protein?
You would expect to see a large number of ribosomes (or rough ER) and mitochondria. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, and mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration. In a cell actively creating a product, you would expect more mitochondria in order to meet the energy needs of the cell and rapid utilization of ameno acids for protein synthesis

What do you expect to see if the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface?
the lack of a surface.
Which molecule would you expect to have the most difficulty crossing the glomerular filtration membrane?
albumin
Would you expect to see strands of connective tissue within the pancreas and liver?
Because blood vessels are embedded in the pancreas and liver

At which latitudes would you expect to find high surface pressures?
You can expect to find high surface pressures at the poles because they have all of the cold air sinking down to the surface due to the low intensity of insolation on the poles.

a cell membrane
Where on earth would you expect atmospheric pressure to be highest?
at the surface
