Food moves through your GI tract by a process called peristalsis. The large, hollow organs of your GI tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move.

Multiple Select Question
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The TRUE statements are 'proteins often have more than one transmembrane domain'; 'they are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer' and 'they are usually shaped like alpha-helices'.

A transmembrane domain is a membrane-spanning region within a protein. The transmembrane domains are hydrophobic regions that can be inserted into the cell membrane.

The transmembrane domains are usually shaped like alpha-helices.

This secondary structure (alpha-helices) causes the amino acid R-groups to project radially, thereby these side chains can interact with each other.

Proteins need only a single transmembrane domain to be anchored to the membrane, but they often have more than one.

For example, Acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferases 1 and 2 (ACAT1 and ACAT2)  have multiple transmembrane domains.

The transmembrane domains are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer.

These domains contain amino acids with hydrophobic R-groups that pass through the membrane and interact with the hydrophobic tails of the fatty acid chains present in the lipid bilayer.

The transmembrane domains anchor transmembrane proteins to the lipid bilayer.

The interactions between amino acids of the transmembrane domains and fatty acids in the lipid bilayer help to anchor transmembrane proteins and stabilize the cell membrane.

Interesting facts about rainforest biome
otez555 [7]

1. Rainforests only cover around 2 percent the total surface area of the Earth, but really about 50 percent of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest.

2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.

3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.

4.  Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.

Hope this helps!

What statement best explains why meiosis produces haploid cell rather than diploid cells
Shkiper50 [21]

The right answer is Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.

Meiosis makes it possible to pass from a cell to 2n chromosomes to 4 cells with n chromosomes, thus ensuring the passage from the diploid phase to the haploid phase.

So from the  fertilization phase to the meiosis phase, the cells will be diploid (2n chromosomes). From the meiosis phase to the fertilization phase, it is the haploid phase (n chromosome).
