Lipids/Fats have glycerol in addition to three fatty acids. The structure of the fatty acids determines whether or not the fat is considered saturated or unsaturated. Phospholipids have four major components: fatty acids, a glycerol component, and both a phosphate group and a polar molecule

EPA scientists performed an experiment where coal was
iris [78.8K]

The results of the study would be expected to change if the same experiment were repeated with natural gas in the area of a decrease in the reaction time.

<h3>What is Reaction time?</h3>

This is the time frame between when a stimulus and a response or total time taken for a reaction to occur.

Natural gas produces steady amount of heat with a higher temperature which leads to a decrease in reaction time.

What is the make-up (structure) of the plasma membrane? what makes the plasma membrane selectively permeable? how are the phosph
devlian [24]
Lipid bilayer model was proposed for its structure but it was modified and new structure is according to fluid mosaic model. Plasma membrane is selectively permible as it selects small molecules like lipid etc (composition is also of lipid and as solubility principle like dissolve like) so large and charged molecules like plasma and ion can't pass through it. Lipid are in form of layer so at the chain when ever other phosphate group attach the place conjugate molecule (phospholipid ) formed

Which is a mechanism for restricting the movement of proteins in the plasma membrane? Choose one or more:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The correct answers are option A. "tethering proteins to the cell cortex", B. "using barriers such as tight junctions", C. "tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix", D. "forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids", E. "tethering proteins to the surface of another cell"

Explanation:

According to the fluid-mosaic model, the components of cell membranes are in constant movement forming a barrier to avoid unwanted exterior component internalization and to avoid the loss of precious internal components. This constant movement could cause that proteins move across the plasma membrane. But, this is avoided by several mechanisms including:

A. Tethering proteins to the cell cortex. The cell cortex is a rigid structure made of actin and actomyosin. Proteins found in the plasma membrane are tethered to this structure to restrict their movement.

B. Using barriers such as tight junctions. Tight junctions are barriers found in epithelia made of claudin and occludin proteins. These barriers are impenetrable, which avoid the movement of proteins in the cell membrane.

C. Tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of several proteins and macromolecules that provide a structural and biochemical support to cells that are nearby. Proteins could be tethered to this rigid structure as well.

D. Forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids. The proteins in the cell membrane that form a covalent linkage with membrane lipids are known as lipid-anchored proteins, or lipid-linked proteins.

E. Tethering proteins to the surface of another cell. When cell-cell communication take place it is possible that proteins in the cell membrane got tethered to the surface of the other cell.

Zoning laws establish _______.
PtichkaEL [24]
Zoning laws establish the uses an area of land can be put to. Zoning's basic purpose is to equally divide the municipality into zones which includes residential, commercial and industrial zones. Separating and use of these zones should be reasonably equal.
