hypothesis: a proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.

theory: an idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action.

principle:a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

Answer:

hypothesis-A hypothesis is a suggested solution for an unexplained occurrence that does not fit into current accepted scientific theory. The basic idea of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined outcome.

theory-In everyday use, the word "theory" often means an untested hunch, or a guess without supporting evidence. But for scientists, a theory has nearly the opposite meaning. A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts

principle-A principle is a proposition or value that is a guide for behavior or evaluation. In law, it is a rule that has to be or usually is to be followed, or can be desirably followed, or is an inevitable consequence of something, such as the laws observed in nature or the way that a system is constructed.

8-4 Discounting the Transverse Carrier Model. At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by bind

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.

Explanation:

The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.

If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, it will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer. Therefore, this model is not feasible.

One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient. It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model. Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.

C) Help with plant defense.

Many species are known to eat many plants, including flowers. To avoid being eaten, thorns in a rose bush help defend itself.
