<span>Because cholesterol is only minimally soluble in water (dissolves into the water at small concentrations) it needs to be transported as part of the complex with proteins-lipoproteins. Thus, lipoproteins bound by specific receptors on cell membranes. Lipoproteins, particles that transport cholesterol through the blood, contain lipid-soluble part (located inside the particle) and amphipathic or water-soluble part (one the surface of the particle). There are five types of lipoproteins: chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).</span> <span>Receptors for the cholesterol (lipoprotein) are located on the surface of a plasma membrane and after the binding of lipoprotein, coated endocytic vesicles are formed from the surface. Those vesicles carry lipoprotein into the cell together with the receptor (internalization). After internalization, the receptors dissociate and recycle to the cell surface.</span>

inhibition is a mechanism of succession in which Group of answer choices the arrival of one species at a site affects the subseq
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

option B: one species decreases the probability that a second species will become established

Explanation:

Inhibition as a mechanism of succession occurs when some early species which could also include pioneer species make the site less suitable for the development of other species and do not allow them to become established and grow. When eventually these early species die, other species that were hindered will subsequently grow and become established gradually giving rise to a climax community.

which of the following statements regarding enzymes is true? (3 points) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by making the re
ziro4ka [17]

Which is true about enzymes is: enzymes increase the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy barrier.

Enzymes are chemical compounds in the form of proteins that act as biocatalysts which function to speed up reactions.

Enzymes work specifically, that is, they can only work on certain substrates by adjusting the shape of the substrate. Enzymes sensor with molecules for substrates to produce compounds through organic chemical reactions that require energy. Some of the reactions assisted by enzymes such as the breaking of large molecules into small ones or the binding of molecules into new molecules. Enzymes can do that because of the influence of the activation energy that every chemical reaction has.

Activation energy is the energy required to break down the reactants. The role of enzymes is to lower the activation energy limit needed to start reactions.
