The  altered  protein  affected  the  function   of  the  cell  membrane. The   cell  membrane which  contain  a  bilayer control  the  movement  of  substance   in  and  out  of  the  cell and organelles.  Due   to  this  it  is  selective  permeable  to ion  and  organic  molecules.

The right answer is chloride transport in cell membrane.

Cystic fibrosis is genetically translated by a mutation in the CFTR gene.

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a chloride channel regulated by cAMP (cyclic Adenosine MonoPhosphate). This low-conductance channel is a regulator of other channels, particularly sodium channels such as the ENaC channel (Epithelial Na Channel) or the Outwardly Rectifying Chloride Channel (ORCC).

What prevents wind from blowing in a straight line from the North Pole to the equator?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
"The Coriolis effect" is the one that prevents wind from blowing in a straight line from the north pole to the equator. The main reason for this effect is the spinning of our earth on its own axis. The earth spins faster near the equator than the poles. The reason is that the earth is wider near the equator. this causes the wind to deviate with the spin.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

May be of the environment they live or genetics.

Explanation:

This naked mole rat species evolved back to an ectothermic life style rather than staying endothermic like all other mammals because of the environment they live or change in the genetic makeup. The main reason for this evolution may be the environmental they lives or through the change in genetic makeup of this naked mole rat species so both factors can contribute in the evolution.

Parts of the earth that are utilized in the nitrogen cycle
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Atmosphere and geosphere is the part of the earth which is utilized in the nitrogen cycle.

Explanation:

In nitrogen cycle, the nitrogen which is present in the atmosphere comes down to the earth surface through rainfall. This nitrogen is absorbed by the earth and taken by roots of plants. Some amount of nitrogen is taken by many bacteria such as denitrifying bacteria which converts the soil nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen and the nitrogen goes again to the atmosphere.

16. What explanation can be used to describe the test tube shown?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Water is polar and oil is nonpolar so the substances won't mix.

Explanation:

Water is polar covalently bonded within the molecule. This unequal sharing of the electrons results in a slightly positive and a slightly negative side of the molecule. oils are nonpolar, so they will remain separate from molecules of a polar solvent such as water.
