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.

Identify the substances that can readily pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
KIM [24]

Answer:

A,C E

Explanation:

The inner membrane of the mitochondria separate the matrix of the mitochondria from the cytosol(inner membrane space.). It is invaginated  folded inwards  to form the critae. This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for biochemical reaction in the mitochondria.

The invagination gives two compartments the inner mitochondria also creates the outer intermembrane space and the inner matrix

These are the substances that can pass freely the inner membrane of the mitochondria.Pyruvate and H+ can not pass through.Specifically,it is not preamble to H+ because, hydrogen ions are needed to generate the electrochemical gradients needed for the chemical energy  for phosphorylation of ADP by  P to form ATPs by the enzyme ATPase synthase.If the inner membrane is permeable to H+ the electochemical gradient will not be produced, and therefore ATPs productions stops.

O2 needs to pass through the inner membrane because it it the final electron acceptor. Therefore if not allowed to pass through oxidative phosphorylation  and ETC will nor occur.

CO2 must pass through because its accumulation will increase the acidity of the inner  mitochondria

Which of the following statements about 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) binding is FALSE?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The answer is C. BPG aids oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing the affinity of myoglobin for oxygen

Explanation:

The 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) which can also be referred to as the 2,3 - di phosphoglycerate , is being produced by the red cells and has the ability to deoxygenate hemoglobin. This is because , his accumulation results to a decrease in the affinity for oxygen, this means that , it will convert hemoglobin to a low oxygen affinity state.

In this case, comparing the options given, it will be concluded that, 2,3  -biphosphoglycerate {BPG} does not aids the delivery of oxygen to tissues, but  decreases the affinity of oxygen, which deoxygenate hemoglobin, and causes the concentration of the carbon dioxide to increase.
