The 21 amino acids can be arranged in many different ways. It is possible with just this small number of amino acids to create thousands of different types of proteins. Think of amino acids like they were little connecting blocks, such as legos. You have 21 of them before you. How many different ways can you arrange them? The formation of protein is similar.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is  D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.

Explanation:

<u>Cholesterol</u> is a steroid lipid and is a constituent of biological membranes. It regulates the <em>fluidity</em> of the membrane (so, option C is not correct). Since cell membranes are composed of another type of lipids, the phospholipids, which form a bilayer, cholesterol distributes between the phospholipid tails and avoids these molecules pack each other forming rigid clusters. Thus, the option which better explains the effect is <em>D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.</em>

Which of the following pairs is MISmatched?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

innate immunity : highly specialized defenses.

Explanation:

Immunity against infectious diseases are 2 types - innate immunity and acquired immunity. Innate immunity is the type of defense mechanism which is present at birth. This type of immunity does not depend upon the immunization. This type of immunity is not highly specific as acquired immunity. Innate immunity has no memory and response in first-rate towards the antigens. The phagocytic cells, dendritic cells are some cells of the innate immune system. This changes throughout the lifetime. Different species have different innate immunity. It means different species show different susceptibility to different diseases. e.g Rats are unsusceptible to Diphtheria while men, guinea pigs are highly susceptible to Diptheria.
