How do unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails affect plasma membrane fluidity?

Biology
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago
4 0
A phospholipid is made of glycerol, two the fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group. More unsaturated fatty acids it means less tightly packed phospholipids its results to the greater membrane fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids are naturally occurring, meaning that the remaining hydrogen is on the same side of the molecule and result in a bending of the hydrocarbon chain.

Which situations would be most likely to engage the anterior cingulate cortex?
maria [59]

Answer:

Which of the following situations would be most likely to engage the anterior cingulate cortex?

A waiter walks over to your table at a restaurant and holds an open menu in front of you.

You walk into the elevator of your apartment building and press the button for your floor.

You enter your classroom and find someone sitting in your usual seat.

A good friend asks you to remind him of your telephone number.

Explanation:

In order to meet the demand of the surrounding environment   by adjusting  the  motor outputs from the brain to the environments ,a part of the emotion control part of the brain( limbic system) called the anterior cingulate cortex is responsible for this.

Anatomically, the limbic system is made up of the primarily the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia and cingulate gyrus.

Based on the this its(anterior cingulate cortex) functions are formation of emotion in the limbic system, and  possessing  of memory and learning.

it is also a major  parts of  of pain networks for pain modulation and perception.

Therefore whenever there is  change in the environment  from the prestored condition in the brain,(e.g the usual seat  in the class room  occupied above) the anterior cingulate cortex adjust the motor input from the brain to adapt to the new environment to take an action,whih in this case  leads to the reclaiming of the seat or any other necessary proactive action.

Which of the following change and sea surface temperature best describes a La Niña event?
ivanzaharov [21]
La Niña follows after an El Niño. Its sea surface temperature will be lower than the natural one by 3-5 degree Celcius which tells us that it is cooler than the average temperature. It is the positive state of the El Niño. It really disturbs the natural weather patterns which could result to extreme storms.

What type of gene mutation is shown in the image?
OleMash [197]

Answer:B.) Substitution

Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule. Substitution leads to a point mutation if only one nucleotide is replaced by another.

A substitution mutation occurs when one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence is replaced by another nucleotide.

Example of substitution is in sickle cell hemoglobin in which valine replaces glutamate at position six in the two beta chains of hemoglobin. In a normal hemoglobin, the two beta chains of hemoglobin have glutamate at the sixth position but in a sickle cell hemoglobin, valine is found at position six on the two beta chains. This is also an example of a point mutation.
