Biology

shutvik [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The weakest part of a long developing and adolescent bone is called growth cartilage (epiphyseal plate)

Explanation:

Both children's bones and adults' bones are at risk of injury. However, in the case of bones in a child, they are subject to an injury known as a growth cartilage fracture or epiphyseal plate. These growth cartilages are areas that are in full development in the vicinity of long bones. Its function is to help establish the length and shape of the bone in the process of maturation. The growth of a long bone happens from the end next to the growth cartilage. In adulthood, these growth cartilages are strengthened forming the bone.

Lipids in a bilayer can diffuse laterally at a relatively fast rate, but \"flip-flop\" from one leaflet to the other very slowly
natima [27]

Answer:

  • flippases translocate lipids from outer (extracellular) leaflet to inner (cytosolic) leaflet,
  • floppases, move phospholipids from inner (cytoplasmic) leaflet to outer (extracellular) leaflet, ABC transporter, move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer down the concentration gradient
  • scramblases Not ATP-dependent, Activation may result in increased membrane lipid symmetry, translocate phosphatidylserine,  preventing apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages,  

Explanation:

Flipases are transportes that require energy for their functioning (ATP dependent) beause they move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer against the concentration gradient  (from extracellular side to cytosolic side).

Floppases are ABC transporters, opposite than flippases (move phospholipids from the cytosolic side).

Scrablases are bidirectional transporters, responsible for asymmetry formation. It also enables exposure of phosphatidylserineon the outer leaflet when it is necessary.

People have built canals and levees to divert water away from its natural flow and prevent floods in residential areas near the
lord [1]

Answer:

Some areas of the Everglades have dried up.

Explanation:

These changes have caused some areas of the Everglades to have dried up. The everglades were known as the wetlands due to the massive flooding that occurred often but these canals made it so that water would not flow into some of the areas in the Wetlands. Therefore, since water never reached these areas they quickly began drying up and making the ground infertile due to the lack of water which the plants need to survive.
