Which statement best describes the cell membrane?
vredina [299]

Answer:C). A phospholipid bilayer with proteins

Explanation: A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids are non polar and hydrophobic while the phosphate groups are polar and hydrophilic. The hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids interact with each by facing each other, forming a bilayer with a fluid interior. The polar head groups face outward interacting with the external environment of the cell. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer and they float in this sea of phospholipids. Proteins anchored to the membrane through interactions between the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids and the amino acid side chains of the proteins. These lipids and proteins swim laterally in each face of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

Degger [83]

Answer:

Thyroid hormones      

Explanation:

Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, <u><em>interference with the thyroid hormone receptor</em></u>, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.

A newborn baby dies soon after birth because her diaphragm and rib cage muscles failed to contract and she was unable to breathe
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Troponin

Explanation:

This is a complex of three proteins  (Trop C, I, T) that are responsible for muscle contraction of  the skeletal and cardiac  muscles . its binds with protein tropomysin  to lie in the grove between the actin filaments.  its prevents contraction by blocking  myosin crossbridge  in a relax muscles.Inorder to aid contractions  calcium ions binds with troponin, which leads to confrontational change.This exposes myosin on actin filaments,  leading to formation of crossbridge and therefore contraction of muscles.

Therefore if there is  a mutation in the gene that encoded Troponin, as explained above, calcium ion  will not be able to bind with tropinin, and there will be no exposure of myosin on actin filaments, no binding of  myosin on actin to cause crossbridge, and consequently no  muscle contraction,

Thus the intercoastal  muscle and diaphragm will not contract leading to death of the baby.
