Answer: Membrane domain

Explanation:

Membrane domains are regions of the plasma membrane that have a specific functional specialization. They arise from movement restriction of the components of the membrane.  If we examine the detail of the structure of many transmembrane proteins, we see that they often possess three different domains, two hydrophilic and one hydrophobic.

  • Hydrophilic domain (formed by hydrophilic amino acids) at the N-terminal end projects to the external medium. The hydrophobic domain in the middle of the peptide chain (often only about 20-30 amino acids) is across the plasma membrane and a hydrophilic domain at the C-terminal end protrudes into the cytoplasm.

  • The transmembrane domain, because its amino acids have hydrophobic side chains, is "comfortable" in the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane.

<u>Since these transmembrane domains "anchor" the protein to the lipid bilayer, these proteins do not float freely and cannot be isolated without first dissolving the lipid bilayer with detergents. </u>

Some fungi are unicellular organisms which feed off human tissues making a person ill. How do these fungi compare with bacteria
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Fungi are unicellular organisms  eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as mushrooms, yeast, and molds.

Bacteria are group of  single-cell microorganisms present in different shapes such as spirals, rods or spheres.

<em>Some of the fungi can causes disease and infection to humans same as bacteria.</em>

Fungi infects humans primarily through their skin. As fungi reproduce through spore formation often present in the air and soil and come in contact with human body surface which further multiply at body surface and infects human. Some of the fungal infections include ringworm,  athlete's foot and jock itch.

Same as Fungi bacteria also enters into human body and multiply within the human cell causing human diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever and cholera.

All of the following are products of cellular respiration except
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Hi there, the answer is energy

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water are all products of cellular respiration in fact carbon dioxide and oxygen are extremely important for ATP. If you are talking about aerobic respiration oxygen is the main product for it because it reacts to glucose. The only thing that isnt part of the product of cellular respiration is energy. After ATP is created for the plants it makes its own energy afterward.

Hope this helped :)
