Which structures add to the fluidity of the plasma membrane:

Biology
1 answer:
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.

Why would a plant's cuticle be an adaptation on land?
erik [133]

B

Plant's cuticle is an adaptation on land that prevents the evaporation of water from the plant.

Which of the following methods can be used to determine the relative age of rock and strata? Select all that apply. Oceanography
Stells [14]

Answer: Stratigraphy and Biostratigraphy

Relative dating is a method of determination of age, in which one object or organism is compared with the other object or organism found in the heap of strata. It is a method for determining the relative order of the past events, without stating the absolute age.

Stratigraphy is a branch of geology that studies the relative position of the sediments and rocks in the strata with respect to the geological timescale. Biostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy which deals with the relative aging of fossils with respect to the strata in which these are found defining a particular period of geological time scale.
