Answer: Small animals such as ants, some species of mice and rats, and cockroaches.
Explanation:
The smaller the animal is, the better chance it has to survive in drastic environmental change. (They will not be affected as much because of their size) Hope this helps :)
Cholesterol in Cell membrane strengthens and helps to maintain the fluid nature of a cell regardless of temperature
<u>Explanation:</u>
All organisms are made up of one or more cells. Each cell is protected or differentiated by a covering called as the cell membrane. Phospholipids are the basic structure of the cell membrane. Cholesterol prevents the loss of fluid from phospholipids.
Cell membrane has a lipid layer and cholesterol which is placed between the phospholipids to maintain the fluid nature of the cell under different temperature. Cholesterol prevents the cell from solidifying and helps maintain the fluid. Cholesterol actually acts as a buffer between different temperatures.
Answer:
The sodium-potassium pump is an active transporter because it needs to move sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.
Explanation:
You have to think of it as outside vs inside the cell.
Outside the cell, you have 5mM K and 150mM Na. Inside the cell, you have 100mM K and 10mM sodium. Without the transporter then the ions would go from greater concentration to lower concentration. Energy keeps the ions going from the way they would naturally happen.
Answer: Option E) None of the above is true; this enzyme could bind none of these.
Explanation:
Lactose is a dissacharide composed of glucose and galactose. Hence, the enzyme lactase break down lactose into its simple sugar constituents.
However, lactase cannot bind nor break down amino acids, starch (with only glucose units) or sucrose (with two glucose units) because their constituent molecules differ markedly from that of lactose.
Thus, the enzyme lactase could bind with none of the options provided except lactose
