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.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false: 1. Compliance is the tendency for blood vessel volume to increase as blood pre
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1. False

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

1. Compliance is the capacity of a container to increase in size to allow it hold more content. Blood vessel, arteries and veins expand (increase in volume) to be able to accommodate a surge in blood flow, which is as a result of an increase in pressure of the blood from the heart pumping of the blood

Therefore, compliance in the tendency for blood vessel volume to increase as the blood pressure <em>increases</em> not decrease

The statement is false

2. A large compliance is indicative of being highly sensitive to changes in pressure

Compliance, C = ΔV/ΔP

From the above equation, a blood vessel with a large compliance, exhibit a large increase in volume when the increase in pressure is small

Therefore, the statement 'Blood vessels with a large compliance exhibit a small increase in volume when pressure increases a small amount; is false

3. The compliance of the vein ranges from 10 to 20 times (30 times in some literature) greater than arteries. A factor which can be affected by the vascular smooth muscle contraction or relaxation

Therefore, the statement, 'venous compliance is approximately 24 times larger than arterial compliance, so as venous pressure increases the volume of veins greatly increases' is true
