134.202 Biomembranes (Sevcsik, Eva) SS 2026 Exam

5 general open questions and 1 True/False question. Open questions are very general, like you don’t even need to memorize the specific name of lipids. Exam is scheduled for 1 hour but Professor said and I quote “short answers okay, you can finish in 15-20 minutes”.

  1. Struct of phospholipid bilayer and why it forms spontaneously
  2. What happens during the Gel to fluid transition?
  3. Membrane curvature, what dictates it. How does protein stabilize it or (i forgot)
  4. ⁠Main difference of ion channels and transporter. How can active transport can occur?
  5. ⁠Resting membrane potential
  6. Which of the following answers is true? (multiple answers possible) — check previous exam question on Vowi and it’s something like that.

I am attaching the lesson summary and reviewer I used in case this helps someone.
