Biology
1 answer:

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.

Mary bought three flowering plants for her garden. The first one has red tubular flowers filled with nectar; the second one has
uranmaximum [27]
I would say that the first flower attracts birds etc. t go and drink it's nectar (also I know that humming birds are attracted to red), and thus spread it's pollen. The second flower most likely attracts bees seeing how t is also sweetly scented, but has no nectar. This must mean that it only has pollen, which bees are great at spreading! I have no clue about the last one....Maybe bugs or bats?? Those are the only other pollinators I know of. It could possibly be that there is no pollinator for the third flower and it just tries to keep animals and insects from eating it with it's shape and odor and just relays on the wind for pollination.<span />

Job specialization can most likely result in _____.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Employee boredom

Explanation:

When an employee specializes in a specific part of job, and it tends to be repetitive each day, it leads to Employee boredom . Therefore, there should always be novel challenges and tasks in work place which do not make an employee feel boring about same monotonous work each day in which they are already specialized.

This never intends to mean that Job specialization is a bad thing, but there should be versatility in work because the work of repetitive nature tends to create a sense of boredom in person and makes his mind less creative as he is doing something daily on which he is expert and do not needs more learning.

Hope it helps!
