Answer:
An increase in membrane thickness
Explanation:
Gaseous exchange occurs in relation to Fick's Law which states:
'the rate of diffusion is proportional to both the surface area and concentration difference and is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane
Therefore, based on this law, an increase in the thickness of the membrane will result in a decreased diffusion rate which will in turn slow down the process of gaseous exchange
Answer:
Ima say its a saturated Phospholipid but im not sure
Explanation:
1.Proteins are linear polymers built of monomer units called amino acids. The construction of a vast array of macromolecules from a limited number of monomer building blocks is a recurring theme in biochemistry. Does protein function depend on the linear sequence of amino acids? The function of a protein is directly dependent on its threedimensional structure.<span>Remarkably, proteins spontaneously fold up into three-dimensional structures that are determined by the sequence of amino acids in the protein polymer. Thus, </span>proteins are the embodiment of the transition from the one-dimensional world of sequences to the three-dimensional world of molecules capable of diverse activities<span>.
</span>2.Proteins contain a wide range of functional groups<span>. These functional groups include alcohols, thiols, thioethers, carboxylic acids, carboxamides, and a variety of basic groups. When combined in various sequences, this array of functional groups accounts for the broad spectrum of protein function. For instance, the chemical reactivity associated with these groups is essential to the function of </span>enzymes,<span> the proteins that catalyze specific chemical reactions in biological systems</span><span>

Explanation:
The method of reproduction in humans is sexual reproduction: a type of reproduction that occurs when new organisms are produced through the coming together of genetic information from two individuals of different sexes mostly a male and a female (egg cell and the sperm). The genetic information for making the blood cells; the red blood cells genes in particular exists on chromosomes in the nucleus of the sex cells (egg and sperm cell) also called the gametes. Basically, the DNA provides instructions for the production of mostly all of the body's needs.
The genes coding for the sickle cells which is the abnormal red cell is always inherited in the recessive form meaning both parent has to possess one copy each of the defective gene in their DNA. For humans to get one copy of a sickle cell gene and one copy normal gene; it means one of the parents gametes (be it male or female) contributed the defective chromosome and the other normal gene is contributed by the other parent during copulation giving rise to an individual that is heterozygous for the trait
For example, the sperm cell with the defective gene fertilizes the egg cell that has the normal copy of the gene producing an heterozgous individual.
Individuals of the same species have different traits because they have different genes which code for different proteins. B would be the correct option.
<h3>Variations</h3>
Organisms of the same species can have different traits due to a difference in their proteins.
Genes are responsible for proteins and proteins are an expression of traits. Thus, with different proteins come different traits.
Hence, once there is a difference in the DNA sequence of organisms, different proteins will be produced, and different traits will be expressed.
