Katena32 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Yes they can

Explanation:

<em>Based on the fluid mosaic model of the lipidic bilayer of the membranes we know that proteins embedded in it have the ability to undergo translational diffusion</em>. <em>Membrane fluidity is important to the cell because is associated to transport rates, it can respond to the necessities of the organism,</em> for example, in some organisms this fluidity can be modified by temperature stress or according to their nutrient necessities.

I hope you find this information sueful and interesting! Good luck!

The right answer is polarity.

In chemistry, polarity is a characteristic describing the distribution of negative and positive charges in a dipole. The polarity of a bond or a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity between the chemical elements that compose it, the differences in charge that it induces, and to their distribution in space. The more the charges are distributed asymmetrically, the more a bond or molecule will be polar, and conversely, if the charges are distributed in a completely symmetrical manner, it will be apolar, that is to say non-polar.

Polarity and its consequences (van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding) affect a number of physical characteristics (surface tension, melting point, boiling point, solubility) or chemical (reactivity).

Many very common molecules are polar, such as sucrose, a common form of sugar. The sugars, in general, have many oxygen-hydrogen bonds (hydroxyl group -OH) and are generally very polar. Water is another example of a polar molecule, which allows polar molecules to be generally soluble in water. Two polar substances are very soluble between them as well as between two apolar molecules thanks to Van der Waals interactions.

How would you describe the relationship that gravity has with mass and distance.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Mass does not affect gravity and distance has an indirect relationship.

Explanation:

The equation for gravity is, g = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }

where, G = gravitational constant

             M = mass of the planet

             R = distance between the bodies (object and center of planet)

so, gravity depends on the mass of planet,  not on mass of object

 and is inversely proportional to sqaure of distance.
