The permeability of a cell membrane simply means the ability of the cell membrane to allow solutes and solvents diffuse or pass through it

In biology, substances moves in and out of cells through semi-permeable membranes of the cell in a function of different metabolic processes such as:

  • Osmosis: This is the movement of substances from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration
  • Diffusion: This is the movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
  • Phagocytosis: This involves the movement of substances through phagocytic bacteria
  • Endocytosis: This involves the movement of substances into the cell
  • Exocytosis: This involves the movement of substances outside the cell environment
  • Pinocytosis and others

So therefore, thee permeability of a cell membrane simply means the ability of the cell membrane to allow solutes and solvents diffuse or pass through it

What is air pressure? At what elevation is air<br> pressure the highest? Why?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

With greater depth of the atmosphere, more air is pressing down from above. Therefore, air pressure is greatest at sea level and falls with increasing altitude. On top of Mount Everest, which is the tallest mountain on Earth, air pressure is only about one-third of the pressure at sea level.

A chemical engineer wants to design a novel enzyme that is capable of catalyzing a reaction in a hydrocarbon solvent instead of
aalyn [17]

Answer:

A few obstacles would make it tough to accomplish this objective. In the first place, the polypeptide backbone is characteristically polar. Hardly any proteins would be dissolvable in a non-polar hydrocarbon. Moreover, to keep up the dissolvability of this protein, most of its amino acids would need to contain hydrophobic or non-polar R groups.

Then again, its charged or polar R groups would need to connect with one another or be covered in the core of the protein away from the hydrocarbon solvent. This would put noteworthy requirements on both the idea of the R groups and the structure of the protein that could take part in substrate recognition or catalysis. By and large, this is certainly not a reasonable objective.
