<span>The 1906 earthquake in California, about 5:12 am on April 18, was before the Richter scale, but scientists estimate it would rank as a 7.8. As much as 90% of the damage in San Francisco was from fires caused by cracked gas pipes. San Francisco burned for three days and nights.

</span>The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake located <span>off the west coast of Sumatra, </span><span>Indonesia </span>lasted nearly 10 minutes—the longest on record. <span>

Examples of ovoviviparous animal

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

sharks, rays, snakes, fishes, and insects

Explanation:

These ovoviviparous animals produce eggs, but instead of laying eggs, eggs develop inside the mother's body. The eggs are laid in the mother. After rocking, they stay in the mother for a while and feed there. Then the young are born live.

Ovoviparity is, therefore, a mixture of oviparous (animals that lay eggs) and viviparous (animals that develop in the mother’s body).

Explain the role of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins in the cell membrane.

koban [17]

Lipids provide structure - allow the selective diffusion. Proteins provide structure - involved transport - involved in cell adhesion. Carbohydrates are involved in cell recognition - receptor complexes.

<h3>What is the function of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins in the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is composed of a lipidic bilayer, cholesterol, proteins, and glucans incrusted in between.

⇒ Lipids

Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules.

They have hydrophilic heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells and hydrophobic tails that arrange against each other in the interlayer space.

Lipids can easily change places with other lipids by lateral diffusion and transversal diffusion.

Their function is to provide structure to the membrane and allow the diffusion of some selected small molecules.

⇒ Cholesterol

These lipidic molecules play a significant role in membrane formation and structure. They are embedded in the membrane in between phospholipidic tails.

⇒ Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are significant energy store molecules.

Carbohydrates get attached to lipids and proteins on the outer side of the membrane (glycolipids and glycoproteins).

Complexes protein-carbohydrate are used to identify and differentiate the cell and work as receptors.

Carbohydrates are also involved in cell adhesion.

⇒ Proteins

Among the proteins, we can find integral proteins and peripheric proteins.

Integral proteins are permanently associated with the membrane. They accomplish many different functions such as substances transport, cellular receptors, and cellular adhesion, among others.

According to how they are incrusted in the lipidic bilayer, integral proteins might be,

→ Transmembrane proteins ⇒ they cross the two lipid layers of the cell membrane.

→ Monotypic integral proteins ⇒ they can be found tied to one of the lipidic layers.

Integral proteins provide structure to the plasmatic membrane.

Periferic proteins are in the internal or external surface but not incrusted in the membrane.

In conlusion,

Phospholipids are the basic elements of the cell membrane. They are arranged in two layers, and thanks to their motion properties, they allow passive transport (diffusion) of some substances.
