Answer:

Te correct answer is "Being transported by specific carrier proteins".

Explanation:

Cholesterol is one of the most important lipids in our body. It is useful for membrane formation and for sexual and suprarenal hormone synthesis. The organism obtains cholesterol from food and liver production. It goes to the blood where it is transported by lipoproteins to its final destiny.

In the intestine, cholesterol is absorbed in three phases:  

  • <em>intraluminal phase</em>: in this phase micellar formation is necessary for cholesterol absorption. Micellar solubilization is a transport way for cholesterol to diffuse through the mucus barrier that covers intestine surface microvilli. Once there cholesterol is available for intestinal cells.
  • <em>mucose phase</em>: in this phase cholesterol pass from the lumen to the cytoplasm of the intestinal cells, and when necessary, from the cytoplasm to the intestinal lumen. In the cells´ membrane, there are proteins that transport cholesterol to and from the interior of the cell.
  • <em>Intracellular phase</em>: In the intestinal cell cholesterol is sent to the endoplasmic reticulum where it is reesterified to be transported in the blood. As cholesterol is insoluble it is packaged in lipoproteins to be transported.

Each lipoprotein has a union site that is specific for a target membrane receptor. Lipoproteins get in the target cells by endocytosis mediated by the specific receptors. Once in the interior of the cell cholesterol is taken from the lipoprotein by breaking the ester link, and then they reesterify it to include it in the membrane.

Water molecules in lakes and the atmosphere and many miles
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Evaporation is the process which allow water molecules to move between lakes and the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Evaporation is a process in which water which is present in liquid form in lakes and ocean evaporated in the form of water vapours. These vapours goes upward and form clouds which moves toward hilly areas with the help of wind. The water present in the clouds come back to the land in the form of rainfall and snowfall. This water flows through the streams and collected in the rivers again and repeat this process.

Identify the plant tissues in the three images.<br> A<br> B.<br> C
Bond [772]

I originally asked for the images but I will give it my best shot at answering your question without them! :D

There are only three types of plant tissues:

1. Dermal

2. Ground

3. Vascular

The dermal tissue is the outside of the plant's root, stem, or leaf, A.K.A the  the skin. If you're looking at a circular image, what ever is pointing to the outside ring of the stem is the dermal tissue.

The ground tissue is the flesh of the plant that is inside the dermal tissue. It surrounds the vascular tissue in the middle of the stem. Whatever letter is pointing to the wide, fleshy ring, that is touching the dermal tissue is the ground tissue. It is the largest part of a plants stem, roots, or leaves.

Lastly, the very inner ring or rings of the plant is the vascular tissue. It's made up of xylem and phloem. This can be found in many different places depending on the part of the plant, but what you're looking for is tiny circles within the ground tissue. If you're looking at the roots, you will see one circle in the very center of the plant, surrounded by ground tissue. If you're looking at the leaves, you will see one circle as well, and additionally other tiny circles throughout the ground tissue in each wing. Lastly, if you're looking at the stem, you'll see a circle of tiny circles within the ground tissue. These small circles are all vascular tissue.

Transcribe T-A-C-C-G-T ot DNA into mRNA
romanna [79]
The answer will be A-U-G-G-A
Transcription is the process by which DNA molecule is used as a primer to generate and mRNA, catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The process takes place in the nucleus, after which the mRNA is taken to the cytoplasm for translation. One of the differences between RNA and DNA is the base thyamine and base Uracil, RNA contains base Uracil instead of thyamine.

Disadvantages of using inorganic manure​
Pie

Answer:

Inorganic fertilizers are not entirely composed of the nutrients needed by the plants. It also contains salts and other compounds. These are not absorbed by the plants so they are left behind in the soil and build up over time.
