Describe the structure of the cell membrane and describe its components.

Biology
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

   

Explanation:

The components of the cell membrane consists of lipids that includes the cholesterol and phospholipids other components includes the carbohydrates, and proteins. The phospholipid forms the basic structure of the cell membrane. The cholesterol molecules are scattered in the lipid bilayer, these help the membrane in the fluid consistent state.

The main function of the plasma or cell membrane is the protection of the cell from it's surrounding.

How do lipids make ATP?
slamgirl [31]
Same way glucose does. Lipids enter cells through channels similar to glucose ones, but designated for lipids instead of carbohydrates. Then lipase splits them into separate parts (fatty acids & glycerol I think). The glycerol can either be used to make pyruvic acid and the energy of breaking its bonds can be used to make ATP, or it can go to making glucose, which is stored for later use.

A foal from a red colored mother and a white colored father, has a light red coat. What are the likely genetics behind the foal’
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The likely genetics will be incomplete dominance for such a phenomenon.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele is not fully or completely showing dominance over the recessive allele.

When parents with such alleles are crossed, the resulting offsprings will show a physical trait which is intermediate and different from both of the parents.

In the scenario discussed in the question, the red colored mother and the white colored father are producing offspring that have light red coat. This is because the red color is not completely dominant over the white color. Hence, an intermediate light red color is seen in the offspring.

Suppose the fictional condition lycanthropy is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes an affected person to have a strong ph
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.
