Which structures add to the fluidity of the plasma membrane:

Biology

Stels [109]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(a) Carbohydrates are the structures  which add to the fluidity of the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The principle components of plasma membrane are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates which are attached to some proteins and lipids. Membrane fluidity means how much viscous is the lipid bilayer of cell membrane? The membrane phospholipids absorbs fatty acids of different lengths and saturation. When there is amore distance between phospholipids fluidity increases.Another one is the  temperature and cholesterol. So these are the three factors which affects the fluidity of the membrane. The rate of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids decides the fluidity of the membrane at cold temperatures. Cholesterol take up the tasks as buffer blocking the lower temperatures from fluidity inhibition and blocking higher temperatures from increasing of fluidity.

The answer that contributes to Mars's cool temperatures is the third choice - Its thin atmosphere and distance from the Sun.
Mars is relatively distant from the Sun - it is the fourth planet away from the Sun which means that it can be quite cold there given that its atmosphere is quite thin which means that the cold is quite present there.

Which statement accurately describes dark matter? It is the same as dark energy. It is well understood by scientists. It does no
kow [346]

Answer:

Dark matter does not emit electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

Dark matter comparative to dark energy, has various differences. You could say that dark energy is put into action on a larger scale than dark matter, which is also why dark energy makes up 74 percent of the universe. Thus, dark matter ≠ dark energy.

Scientists have a lot to learn about dark matter, so we can't claim that this subject has been well understood about scientists. In fact, it is one of the least understood parts of the universe!

_______________________________________________________

Now dark matter can be defined as particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light. Thus, it can't be observed by electromagnetic radiation - nor shifts in red and blue light. At the same time it does not emit electromagnetic radiation.

What did Darwin notice about life on the Galápagos Islands?
mote1985 [20]
Because of the isolation of Galapagos, the life forms that had somehow reached the island, such as the lizard and other such creatures, had evolved differently over time compared to their cousins on the mainland. Things like a bird that was usually able to fly no longer had long wings spans or the ability to fly on the island, the large lizards on the island were used to eating sea-vegetation and often swam right into the ocean using their long tails to swim. And so forth.
