Integral proteins are embedded in the phospholipid layer, and can sometimes form protein channels that let ions and other small molecules through.

Answer:

The correct answer is integral membrane proteins.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is the outer membrane of the cell which is selectively permeable. The small polar molecules and hydrophobic molecules can go through the lipid bilayer, but ions and large polar molecules cannot go through. There are some Integral membrane proteins present in the plasma membrane that enable ions to pass through the plasma membrane by active or passive transport.

Thus, the correct answer is integral membrane proteins. Ions generate electrochemical gradient so they are generally used in secondary transport systems.

Thus, the correct answer is integral membrane proteins.

Soil

Soil is the upper layer of the ground comprising of a mixture of sand, silt, clay, loose rock fragments, and organic matter that can support the growth of rooted plants. The relative proportions of sand, silt and clay determine the texture and size of the pores of the soil, which affects its ability to allow air and water to penetrate/infiltrate.

When two protein chains combine to form an active protein, the structural level is ________
Elanso [62]

When two protein chains combine to form an active protein, the structural level is quaternary.

<h3>What is a quaternary structure?</h3>

The quaternary and tertiary structure of a protein is the tridimensional shape of the protein, which involves protein domains.

The quaternary protein structure refers to the different arrangements generated by different protein subunits.

The primary structure of a protein involves its amino acid sequence, whereas the second structure involves protein chains.

What type of symmetry is associated with diploblastic organisms? Which phylum is the exception to this rule and why?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: Diploblastic animals have radial symmetry.

Phylum porifera lack body symmetry and are therefore call asymmetrical this is because their bodies lack true tissues, true organs and there body is well adapted for water and water flows through their body and deposit nutrients needed for growth and development.

Explanation:

Diploblastic organisms meaning organisms that have two germ layers(ectoderm and endoderm) have radial symmetry because their symmetry is located along a central axis examples are the sea anemone and jelly fishes belonging to phylum cnidarians.

Phylum porifera e.g sponges are assymetrical that is they have no body plans and this is because the shapes of their bodies is adapted to water and water flow allow nutrients to enter their body for growth.
