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>

Over a long period, how might living things adapt to increased carbon dioxide levels and global warming?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Yes. We could be done for if it is anthropogenic and if it is not being caused by CO2 as we are lead to believe. CO2 may not be the only anthropogenic cause (if it is a cause).

If climate change is due to weather engineering by chem trailing in conjunction with ionospheric heating, then it could cause serious illness to our species.

The use of the electro-magnetic spectum and radio waves by ionospheric heaters, could cause genetic damage as well as infertility. Whether other sources of RF/EMF also play into weather manipulation and control is unclear. Whether the use of ionospheric heaters contributes to climate change is unclear, but it intuitively seems likely. Creating a sustaining a plasma in the ionosphere may heat up more than the ionosphere and it may have an impact on the weather.

We do not know what chemicals are being used to obscure the sun, create clouds, perhaps create rain and wind, (nor why) and therefore we do not know if those could also contribute to infertility or genetic damage when they finally wash out of the sky. We do not know if the chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, or what happens to us when we breathe them, or consume them in our drinking water or in the food we eat. Higher levels of certain metals have been measured in the soil after chem trails. It is difficult to know which tests to use to test for all the chemicals which can be used.

Answer:Bats are not blind and can in fact see quite well using their eyes. While most bats do have advanced ears that give them a form of vision in the dark known as echolocation, these good ears does not require them to have bad eye

densk [106]

The anterior rami of the brachial plexus are the continuations of the anterior rami of spinal nerves  C5-T1 . These rami emerge from the intervertebral foramina and travel through the neck. The five rami unite to form the superior, middle, and inferior trunks  in the posterior triangle of the neck. Nerves C5, C6 unite to form the superior trunk; nerve C7 remains as the middle trunk; and nerves C8,T1 unite to form the inferior trunk. Portions of each trunk divide deep to the clavicle into an anterior and a posterior division. These primarily contain axons that innervate the anterior and posterior parts of the upper limb. Upon reaching the axilla, they converge to form three cords.
