Biology

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.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The rate of mutations on the S. Aureus population increased when exposed to antibiotics over time. This gave rise to a few mutants of the bacteria that could  survive the methicillin antibiotic. This is because the mutation altered a protein target of methicilin (beta-lactam binding proteins) on which the antibiotic acted upon. These populations increased as the others were eliminated by the antibiotic – the way natural selection works. Over time, these mutations were transferred to other populations of bacteria by these MRSA through ‘sexual’ horizontal gene transfer, causing whole bacteria populations to be resistant against methicilin.
