Diabetes (type 2) is the resistance of insulin and is most commonly associated with hypertension and obesity

Silas is suffering from a condition termed as <u>metabolic syndrome</u>. This condition is mainly due to increased body weight and no physical work. Insulin resistance is a strong reason. If the person doesn’t pay attention to his/her health, then it can lead to various heart-related diseases and diabetes. The most common sign of this condition is fat accumulation around the waist line.

kolezko [41]

Complete question:

¿Cual de los siguientes solutos que pueden estar presentes en el liquido extracelular es transportado de acuerdo al modelo de mecanismo propuesto en la ilustracion?

A) Etanol.

B) Calcio.

C) Glucosa.

D) Estrógeno.

E) Oxígeno.

<em>Nota: La ilustración se encuentra como un archivo adjunto.</em>

Answer:

Ión Calcio y Estrógeno son transportados por proteinas canal a traves de la membrana.      

Explanation:

Durante el paso de sustancias al interior o exterior de la celula ocurren dos tipos de transportes. Transporte activo y pasivo. El primero requiere de energia ya que se produce en contra de un gradiente electroquímico. El segundo, por otra parte, no requiere de energía ya que sucede a favor del gradiente electroquimico.

  • El transporte activo es mediado por proteinas transportadoras que actúan como bombas transportadoras.
  • El transporte pasivo puede ocurrir por
  1. difusión simple a traves de la bicapa lipídica (sin ningunaproteina que medie su paso),
  2. difusión facilitada a traves de proteinas canales (estas proteinas tienen forma de poro hidrofílico y permiten el paso de sustancias de un lado al otro de la membrana celular sin sufrir modificaciones. Permiten el pasaje de iones actuando como canales ionicos y de hormonas o neurotransmisores),  
  3. o difusión facilitada a través de proteinas transportadoras o carriers (estas proteinas son altamente selectivas y sufren un cambio temporal en su conformación al hacer pasar una sustancia de un lado al otro de la membrana plasmatica).    

<em>La ilustración adjuntada muestra un ejemplo de </em><em>proteina de canal</em><em> facilitando el transporte de distintas sustancias.</em>

A) Etanol.  Transporte pasivo. Difusión simple a traves de la bicapa lipídica.    

B) Ion Calcio, Ca²⁺.  Transporte pasivo. Difusión facilitada a traves de proteina canal.

C) Glucosa.  Transporte pasivo. Difusión facilitada a traves de proteina transportadora o carrier.

D) Estrógeno.  Transporte pasivo. Difusión facilitada a traves de proteina canal.

E) Oxígeno. Transporte pasivo. Difusión simple a traves de la bicapa lipídica.

Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for why unsaturated fatty acids help keep any membrane more fluid at lower te
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option (E).

Explanation:

The cell membrane constitute the phospholipid bilayer, proteins and small amounts of carbohydrates. The unsaturated fatty acids contain the double and triple bond in its structure.

The introduction of double bond introduces the kink in its structure and makes the membrane less rigid. This prevents the packaging of the lipid tightly and makes the membrane more permeable. This makes the membrane more fluid even at the lower temperature.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).

9. WHY IS THIS (ANSWER TO #8. FROM ABOVE) MOLECULE SO IMPORTANT?
lana66690 [7]

Biological structures like DNA, proteins and cells all depend on molecules. ... Neurotransmitters like epinephrine are pretty simple molecules, but without them our nervous system couldn't work. Oxygen, containing just two oxygen atoms, is a very simple molecule, and it is certainly essential to living things.
