Which molecule in animal plasma membranes reduces the permeability of the membrane to most biological molecules?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'e' : Cholesterol

Explanation:

The ease at which materials can be transported across a membrane depends on the membrane permeability. Membrane permeability is basically the ease at which materials are transported across membrane . As we know that upon increasing the viscosity of any fluid it's resistance to deformation increases or it applies a greater resisting force if we try to change the shape of the membrane thus reducing the permeability of the membrane. the increase in cholesterol increases the viscosity of the membrane thus reducing it's permeability.

Identify the locations within the human body for Hyaline, Elastic and Fibrocartilage.
belka [17]

Answer:

A flexible connective tissue, known as cartilage varies from bones in many ways, its microcomposition is less developed in comparison to the bone and is avascular. It is not supplied with nerves and thus depends upon the process of diffusion to attain nutrients. The three kinds of cartilage are fibrous, hyaline, and elastic.

Of these the most widespread kind is the hyaline cartilage, it looks like glass. It is witnessed in embryos, where the formation of bone takes place as hyaline cartilage, which ossifies later. In adults, it is found on the tips of the ribs, on the articular surfaces of the long bones, the parts of the skull, and the rings of the trachea.

Fibrous cartilage is witnessed in the pubic symphysis and intervertebral discs and exhibits many collagen fibers.

Elastic cartilage is witnessed in the internal support of the external ear and the epiglottis and is yellow, springy, and elastic in characteristics.

Explain how Magma and Sediments are formed? What happens to magma when it cools? What happens to sediments when it becomes compa
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Magma is formed when hot liquid comes from the earth's core into the cold crust of the Earth. When this liquid solidifies it loses heat to the surrounding crust and begins to melt the surrounding rock.

Sediments are formed when magma rises to Earth's surface from a volcanic eruption where the magma cools into igneous rock. On the surface, weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into pebbles, sand, and mud, creating sediment, which accumulates in basins on the Earth's surface.

When sediment becomes compacted and cemented together it forms a type of rock called sedimentary rock
