Why are lipids and proteins free to move laterally in membranes?

Biology
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago

According to fluid mosaic model proteins are embedded in sea of lipids like icebergs are floating in the sea. These molecules are not tightly bound so that lateral displacement is possible.

There are only weak hydrophobic interactions in the interior of the membrane.

Which structure is perforated with pores to allow material to move in and out of the nucleus?.
erastovalidia [21]

The nuclear envelope is perforated with pores to allow it to move in and out of the nucleus.

Every cell in the body has a nucleus, except for mature erythrocytes (red blood cells). While some cells contain more than one nucleus such as skeletal muscle and some other cells contain several nuclei.

The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus. i. e. largest organelle of the cell. It has a similar structure to that of

the plasma membrane. But the nuclear envelope contains tiny pores that allow a few substances to pass between it and outside the cytoplasm, i.e. the cell contents excluding the nucleus.

Therefore, the nuclear envelope is perforated with pores to allow it to move in and out of the nucleus.

To know more about the nucleus, refer to the below link:

A group of long-billed prairie birds migrates from a pristine, protected prairie to a nearby, newly restored prairie. They colon
spayn [35]

Answer:

While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized

Explanation:

Options  are given:

The two populations of the long-billed prairie-birds had different fundamental niches, but the same realized niche

The original population of long-billed prairie-birds had higher levels of competition for food resources and in order to find enough food had a more varied diet. Those in the newly colonized area faced less competition and adapted to a smaller range of food types.

While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized

The long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche shifted as a result of competition with other species such that individuals in the newly colonized prairie foraged on a smaller variety of food types

Since in the question it is mentioned that scientists compare the populations with respect to the two bird and determined for the long billed prairie birds and the available of food is same in the two areas

This above situation represents the competitive exclusion concept. The species should be entered into the competitor in the case when there is a large number and the feeding should be started for survival
