At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by binding a solute molecule or ion on one side of th

e membrane and then diffusing across the membrane to release the solute molecule on the other side. We now know that this transverse carrier model is almost certainly wrong. Suggest two reasons that argue against such a model. One of your reasons should be based on our current understanding of membrane structure and the other on thermodynamic considerations.
Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Not all terms will be used.

Answer:

The process of passage of different molecules, solutes, and liquids, through the phospholipid bilayer in human cells, and really in all animal cells, is highly dependent on a tight coordination between chemical, and thermodynamic balances, that will collaborate in these elements being able to pass, or not pass, through a cell´s membrane, and activate other mechanisms within the cell when their passage is not possible. Unlike what was once believed, that transport proteins were like buses parked at the membrane and waiting to be loaded with molecules to later remove themselves from the membrane and carry their load into the cytoplasm, scientific research has found that this is definitely so, and that transport proteins do not come off the layer to transport  molecules. They are permanently anchored to the membrane and through a series of second messenger systems, energy produced by the passage of certain ions like potassium and sodium, and other such processes, these transport proteins become activated, allow the passage of molecules and change them in such a way that they can be taken into the cell in vesicles, or, they will anchor them to second messengers, who will be responsible for carrying the molecule inside.

From the list of words given and the two sentences down below, which are two reasons why the earlier believed models for transport proteins are not correct would be:

1. Integral membrane proteins are embedded stably in the membrane and protrude from one or both side based on their hydrophobic, or hydrophilic, regions. These sides will not switch because of the disbalance that would be created if the two sides had to be switched chemically to allow them to pass to the opposie sides.

2. For protein to traverse a membrane, movement of its hydrophilic regions through the interior of the membrane would be required, which would be highly endergonic and hence thermodynamically improbable.

zysi [14]
Because these non native species can cause competition for the same food source as the native species thus making it harder for the native species to survive. Also the non native species could see the native species as food causing them to die out. As well as introducing new diseases that these native species don’t know how to defend themselves from

Daren has sickle-cell disease. Because of the disease, some of Daren's blood cells are long and thin instead of being disk-shape
neonofarm [45]

Answer: B cells can be influenced by genetic factors

Explanation: Daren has sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disorder is a kind of disease that affects the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin, is a molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with Sickle cell disorder have hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which distort the shape of the red blood cells. A normal red blood cell has a disc shape but people with sickle cell like Daren have their red blood cells and distorted into a sickle, or crescent, shape

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

This would cause mantle material to rise in its place, pushing up the crust and forming isolated mountain ranges and associated basins. This activity would cause minor earthquakes and maybe even additional pockets of volcanism.
