Answer: Ion channels are protein molecules that span across the cell membrane allowing the passage of ions from one side of the membrane to the other. They have an aqueous pore, which becomes accessible to ions after a conformational change in the protein structure causes the ion channel to open.

Which of these is a disadvantage of multicellular organisms?
Alexxandr [17]

Multi cellular organisms are composed of many cells whereas unicellular organisms are composed of single cell. Multicellularity is indeed a progressive attribute of evolution where cells form tissue which forms organ and then organ system and finally an organism. Both multi cellular and unicellular organisms has advantages and disadvantages of their own. One of the main disadvantage of multi cellular organisms is that due to such a complex composition and functioning they require a large amount of energy for their maintenance and survival. Different organs and system require a huge amount of energy when it comes to comparison with unicellular organisms. A large amount of energy is also wasted in all these life processes. Though multi cellular organisms can survive in a variety of environmental conditions but then also their survival is difficult than any unicellular organism.

Give an overview of the process depicted in the diagram.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The given figure depicts the process of translation.

Translation is the process by which the mRNA is deciphered into the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide chain.

Ribosomes serve as the site of the translation.

The small and large subunits of the ribosome form the complex around the start codon of the mRNA.

It created three sites namely; A, P and E sites.

A site is a site where the charged tRNA enters the complex.

It then adds the amino acid specific to the codon sequence of the mRNA to the growing polypeptide chain at P site.

Uncharged tRNA then leave the complex through E site.

What property of membranes allows interactions to take place within the membrane, including the assembly of membrane protein clu
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is defined as a biological membrane that separates the interiors of a cell from its external environment.

The plasma membrane has a function that protects the cell from its external environment, mediates cellular transport, and transmits cellular signals.

It is composed of a lipids bilayer (phospholipids and cholesterol), (phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group) with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules which hence, regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells. Plasma membranes is very flexible in order to allow cells change form example, red blood cells change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries.
