The cell membrane maintains homoeostasis in the body which is the process by which cell maintains a fairly constant environment.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer membrane which separates the contents of a cell from the external environment.

The correct graphical chart is as follows:

cell membrane maintains homeostasis
active transport requires energy
passive transport does not require energy
Diffusion occurs either through osmosis or facilitated diffusion
facilitated diffusion occurs through protein channels
Osmosis involves movement of water
Endocytosis is the process the cell takes in substances into its inner compartment
Exocytosis is the process the cell takes in substances into its inner compartment
Pinocytosis is cell drinking
Phagocytosis is cell eating

Therefore, the process by which cell maintains a fairly constant environment is called homoeostasis and is maintained by the cell membrane.

where they execute important functions. The polypeptide chain of these proteins must cross the lipid bilayer. This presents a pr

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

In this case, it is likely that the polypeptide chain assumed an alpha helix configuration because the lipid bilayer did not have beta-barrel proteins.

Explanation:

A polypeptide chain is naturally polar, however, a lipid bilayer is naturally non-polar. This makes it difficult and even prevents the polypeptide chain from crossing a lipid bilayer, since the composition of these two elements does not allow them to mix. In that case, the polypeptide chain has two options to take to successfully cross the lipid bilayer.

The first option that the polypeptide chain has is to allow the creation of twisted beta sheets in the shape of a closed barrel in its structure. This only works if the lipid bilayer has beta barrel proteins in its composition to act as a transport channel for the polypeptide chain. However, few lipid layers have this protein.

Most likely, the polypeptide chain assumes an alpha helix conformation to cross lipid bilayers that do not have beta-barrel proteins. By assuming the beta conformation, the polypeptide chain reinforces the hydrogen bonds present in its composition, allowing it to cross the lipid bilayer without having its conformation and structure disassembled.
