Glycocalcyx plays a role in immunity, transplant compatibility, cell adhesion, and protection

<h3>What is Glycocalcyx ?</h3>

The cell membranes of bacteria, epithelial cells, and other cells are covered in a glycoprotein and glycolipid layer called the glycocalyx, also referred to as the pericellular matrix. Martinez-Palomo first identified the glycocalyx, a cell covering seen on animal cells, in 1970.

  • One of the glycocalyx's roles is to restrict molecules' access to the EC membrane. Another is to dissipate fluid shear stress far from the membrane. A third function is the possibility of transmitting mechanical forces into the cell via GAG and core protein components.

Which of the three things provide evidence that South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were once together as one super
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

- Glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock from an ice sheet match in distant regions

- Fossils of marsupials were originally the same across South America and Australia

- Cratons match across the edges of continents

Explanation:

South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were all once part of one super-continent. This super-continent has been named Gondwanaland. As the geological processes got more intensive though and Gondwanaland separated into smaller land masses, continents, which we now know as the continents on the Southern Hemisphere. There are numerous clues that confirm that these continents were once connected. Some of the clues are the matching cratons on the edges of the continents, the glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock are also matching, lot of fossilized flora and fauna from the same species have been found in several of these continents, the marsupials in South America and Australia  etc.

Why do paleontologist study fossils ?
Stells [14]

Answer:

Paleontologists study fossils so that we can understand the evolution's from past species to the current ones. It also opens a window to discovering exactly how long earth has been around by finding out the age of the fossil itself. Though paleontology has been in the decline recently, and i'm sure we haven't found out all we need to know from these fossils.

What would most likely happen if a person increased the amount of saturated fat in his or her diet?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The person's risk of cardiovascular disease would increase.

Explanation:

saturated refers to all single bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, meaning no kinks in the chain. The hydrocarbon has the most number of carbons it can have, as there are all single bonds. If the hydrocarbon has even one less carbon, there would be kink, and it would be unsaturated and liquid. Our body needs less carbon, so unsaturated fats are better. But having saturated fats means no liquid, rather solid, which means harder for the blood to get to the heart. So your risk would cardiovascular disease would increase
