What types of molecules may not need transport proteins to be able to cross cytoplasmic membranes?

Biology

The correct answer is small hydrophobic molecules.

The smaller the molecule and the more hydrophobic, or nonpolar, it is, the more rapidly it will diffuse across a membrane. It is because of the composition of membrane (lipid bilayer). By contrast, membrane is highly impermeable to charged molecules (ions), no matter how small they are.

Question 4
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

In eukaryotes, thousands of chemical reactions are able to take place in  separate compartments called organelles.

Explanation:

Organelles are specific cellular structures that are the means of compartmentalizing the various functions that occur within cells.

Examples of organelles and their functions are:

- <u>Nucleus</u>: contains DNA and in it occur the replication of this molecule and its transcription into RNA.

- <u>Rough endoplasmic reticulum</u>: protein synthesis and conjugation of these molecules occurs.

- <u>Mitochondrion</u>: houses all oxidative phosphorylation reactions and the electron transport chain for ATP synthesis to occur.

The organelles are then the structures that allow the development of the multiple functions that a cell has.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em><u>Bacteria</u></em><em> is a prokaryotic organism. </em>
  • <em><u>Prokaryote</u></em><em> refers to simple organisms that lack organelles. </em>
  • <em><u>Proteins</u></em><em> are biomolecules that allow the structure and function of living beings.</em>

Myelin sheath consists of axon?
forsale [732]
Rather, each myelin sheath insulates the axon over a single long section and, in general, each axon comprises multiple long myelinated sections separated from each other by short myelin sheath-gaps called nodes of Ranvier. ... In the CNS, axons carry electrical signals from one nerve cell body to another.
