Answer:

The correct answers are option A. "tethering proteins to the cell cortex", B. "using barriers such as tight junctions", C. "tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix", D. "forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids", E. "tethering proteins to the surface of another cell"

Explanation:

According to the fluid-mosaic model, the components of cell membranes are in constant movement forming a barrier to avoid unwanted exterior component internalization and to avoid the loss of precious internal components. This constant movement could cause that proteins move across the plasma membrane. But, this is avoided by several mechanisms including:

A. Tethering proteins to the cell cortex. The cell cortex is a rigid structure made of actin and actomyosin. Proteins found in the plasma membrane are tethered to this structure to restrict their movement.

B. Using barriers such as tight junctions. Tight junctions are barriers found in epithelia made of claudin and occludin proteins. These barriers are impenetrable, which avoid the movement of proteins in the cell membrane.

C. Tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of several proteins and macromolecules that provide a structural and biochemical support to cells that are nearby. Proteins could be tethered to this rigid structure as well.

D. Forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids. The proteins in the cell membrane that form a covalent linkage with membrane lipids are known as lipid-anchored proteins, or lipid-linked proteins.

E. Tethering proteins to the surface of another cell. When cell-cell communication take place it is possible that proteins in the cell membrane got tethered to the surface of the other cell.

In your own words, explain what happens in the water cycle
MrMuchimi

Answer:

First, rain will have to occur. The lake and surfaces will have water in them, after that it will a while for the surface to evaporate into water vapour, after that the water vapour will condense into water droplets and when the clouds are too heavy because of too much water droplets in them, it will start to rain again and this cycle will keep going on continuously.

Given that our model finch population is capable of rapid evolution in response to a changing environment, explain why you think
SIZIF [17.4K]

Darwin's finches are a traditional illustration of an adaptive radiation. Their ancestor came on the Galapagos Island about two million years ago. With time Darwin's finches have developed into fifteen different species separated on the basis of beak shape, body size, and feeding and song behavior.  

The population of finches possesses the tendency of evolving rapidly in response to a changing environment. However, they can also get extinct in condition if the weather fluctuates too briskly between the dry and wet seasons. This would most likely take place due to the immigration of genes and mutations within the genes that are conducted on to the next generations.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The answer is - It was not a controlled experiment

Explanation:

A control experiment can be defined as that in which the all variable is kept constant and intact and then used as a standard of comparison or measurement to the experimental component.The commercial showing several people initially struggling to balance without the wristband and then balancing fine with the wrist band is not a controlled experiment.
