6. Cell membranes are primarily composed of a double layer of phospholipids. Why are phospholipids particularly
Andrews [41]

Answer:

B i hope this help

Explanation:

The cell membrane consists primarily of a thin layer of phospholipids which spontaneously arrange so that the hydrophobic "tail" regions are shielded from the surrounding polar fluid, causing the more hydrophilic "head" regions to associate with the cytosolic and extracellular faces of the resulting bilayer. This forms a continuous, spherical lipid bilayer approximately 7 nm thick, barely discernible with a transmission electron microscope.

The arrangement of hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads of the lipid bilayer prevent polar solutes (e.g. amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and ions) from diffusing across the membrane, but generally allows for the passive diffusion of hydrophobic molecules. This affords the cell the ability to control the movement of these substances via transmembrane protein complexes such as pores and gates.

Which of the following is a general function for a fibrous protein?A) transport B) protein management C) body defense D) catalys
kupik [55]

Answer: The correct answer is- E) structural framework.

Fibrous proteins are water insoluble, elongated filamentous like structures that that provide structural framework ( they have special types of helices in their structures) to the cells or tissues of organisms.

They contain repetitive amino acid sequences in their structure that provides strength to the structure.

They are very less sensitive to any change in pH, temperature, as well as enzymatic digestion.

They are usually involved in the formation of connective tissue.

Example of fibrous protein- Actin, myosin, elastin, keratin.
