Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The correct statement is that the there is a difference in protein which is found in the outer membrane and inner membrane of the mitochondria.

The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to allow maximum surface area for the energy production.

The inner part of the mitochondria contains the enzyme ATPase for energy production.

The outer membrane of the mitochondria contains enzymes for the export and import of the various materials with the help of  TOM40 complex and TIM23 complex.

Why use needle loop to prepare fungi slide??
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The needle loop is use to transfer fungi to a soft agar and this will cause or create more fungal growth to occur in the slide.

Explanation:

Needle loop is a tool or device use in microbiology to inoculate microorganisms like bacteria and fungi in media to boost their growth. It is use for sampling and transferring specimens or microorganisms into a media for further analysis, examination and serial dilution.

Answer:

mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence because it is destroying mRNA before  proteins can even be produced.

Explanation:

<em>Proteins are synthesized from mRNA through the process of translation. mRNAs are first synthesized from a coding DNA template through the process of transcription. Hence, if mRNAs are destroyed, it means proteins will not be synthesized at all.</em>

Protein not being synthesized at all means that mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence on protein levels than protein degradation. With protein degradation, not all the protein is degraded at once and some quantity of the protein can still be found, but with mRNA destroyer concentration, no protein can be found at all because it was not synthesized in the first place.

What type of membrane proteins are integral proteins that move ions or molecules across plasma membrane?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Channel proteins and Carrier proteins

Explanation:

These are type of membrane proteins that transcend the entire length of  phosphoslipid  bi- layer  in the plasma membrane.They facilitate the movement of ions  and molecules across  the walls of the plasma membranes.

Generally, substances like glucose, amino acids, are too large to pass through the phopholipid bilayers. Likewise ions of  potassium, sodium calcium, because of their polarities can not pass through either. They are ferried across the phospholipid by  group of protein structures called channel proteins. Some are also transported across by carrier  proteins.  The process by which these protein structures  aided the  diffusion of substances across the phospholipid bilayer is called Facilitated diffusion.

Channel proteins are pores, that are filled with water molecules with the entrance  well gated.  That is the entrance  is controlled by part in the inner structure  of the protein  which can open or close the pores  like a gate to control the movement of ions across it. e.g Sodium channels are gated for  movement  of sodium ions by voltage or ligands(chemicals) during  nervous  transmission to elicits action potential. Like wise Potassium channels allow  diffusion of potassium ions across the phospholipid bilayers. it gates are shut when sodium channels are open; this  regulate ion exchange.

Their structures are well fixed in shape , specific  to the substance or ions being  transported;and the rate of diffusion  depends on  the like hood of opening of the gate or closure.

Carrier molecules  also in the membranes  do not have a fixed shape, and their transport  direction is determined by the direction of concentration gradients. Thus they can flip on either sides of the membranes to aid diffusion across. Their movement can  be both passive and active, and the rates  of diffusion depends on the number of available carrier proteins in the membrane. They are also specific to the ions they transport.And are not gated,

Therefore these two membrane integral  proteins  facilitate movements of substances across the phospholipild bilayers
