Why are lipids and proteins free to move laterally in membranes?

Biology
1 answer:
Rashid [163]2 years ago
8 0

Correct option C) Hydrophilic portions of the lipids are in the interior of the membrane.

Lipids and proteins free to move laterally in membranes because both are inserted into a fluid lipid bi-layer and they are able to diffuse laterally through the membrane.

Lipid Composition of Cell Membranes is a important property of lipid bilayers which is behave as two-dimensional fluids where individual molecules are rotate and move freely in lateral directions

Membrane proteins and phospholipids both are unable to move back and forth between the inner and outer leaflets of the membrane at an appreciable rate. Phospholipids in the lipid bilayer can either move rotationally, laterally in one bilayer, or undergo transverse movement between bilayers.

As an analogy to gene expression in eukaryotes, let's compare it to the process of cooking recipes from a library of cookbooks.
scoundrel [369]
Two major steps are needed to obtain a protein from a gene. Transcription makes it possible to obtain a copy of the gene present on the chromosome, in the form of a messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation is the stage during which this mRNA is read by the ribosome to obtain a protein.
DNA replication is associated with photocopy because replication will give an identical copy of the cell DNA.
Transcription is associated with book printing because in transcription the genetic information will be transferred to another platform (RNA)
Nucleus in a Library since this is where the "book printing" occurs, and where the books (DNA) are
DNA is the book, where all the information are
RNA transcript is the photocopy
Translation is the cooking since it is the protein synthesis
Proteins/polypeptide is the cooking objective, so it is the prepared dish
RNA polymerase is the Xerox machine, it will copy the information in the DNA to RNA transcript
Ribosomes is the cooks, because this is where translation occurs
Activator protein are the bookmarks because it choose wich part of DNA it has to be transcript.

Given the amount of work required to move a box 5 meters across the floor is 100J. What is the force that is needed?
bogdanovich [222]

work \: done \:  =  \: force  \times distance
Work done = 100J
Distance = 5 meters
Force = ?
force =  \frac{work \: done}{distance}
Force = 100/5 = 20N
Therefore, the force needed is 20 Newtons

Why does Tupperware blow its top in the microwave?
sergeinik [125]
The heat inside the Tupperware causes an increase in pressure and when enough pressure builds, the atoms need somewhere to go and the seal at the top is easiest to break, so the top blows off.<span />
