The incorporation of valinomycin, a neutral antibiotic, into a polyvinyl chloride membrane allows for the manufacture of an ion-selective electrode that is highly selective for potassium.

<h3>How Valinomycin Ionophores Enter and Transport K+ across Model Lipid Bilayer Membranes?</h3>

  • A biomimetic lipid membrane attached to the surface of the gold electrode contained the cyclic peptide valinomycin.
  • The ionophore characteristics of the peptide were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the conformation and orientation of the antibiotic valinomycin within the membrane were identified using polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy.
  • By forming a complex with potassium ions and an ion pair with a counter anion, valinomycin transports ions across the membrane, and the combination of these two techniques revealed novel information about the ionophore mechanism.
  • The ion pair is located inside the hydrophobic portion of the membrane and makes a little angle of around 22° with the surface normal.

Which direction do
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A downhill

Explanation:

A runoff happens when water drags sediment from a rock over a sloping terrain. Thus, water drags the eroded fragments of a rock in favor of gravity, pushing these fragments downwards. This is very common in mountainous and steep regions, without vegetation cover, where erosion caused by runoff is very high.

Many insects do not see into the red color-range and as a result, many insect-pollinated flowers are colors other than red (e.g.
melisa1 [442]

The correct answer is adaptation.  

Pollination refers to the procedure of transferring the pollen grain from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a carpel. Some plants are amended for pollination by the wind, and some for pollination by insects.  

The plants, which are adapted for pollination via insects exhibit colorful petals and nectar to attract the insects, and sticky pollen, which adheres to the insects when they visit the flowers.
