The correct answer is: A) The polarity of membrane phospholipids
Factors that affect membrane permeability are
1. Chemicals :
Some of the organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol can dissolve the membrane and thus, destroy the selective permeability of the membrane.
2. Temperature :
Too high temperatures denature the protein that are in the structure of the membrane destroying its selective permeability. On the other hand, too low temperature slows down molecule movements and the permeability decreases.
3. Cholesterol:
Increases the permeability by reducing the barrier formed by phospholipids’ heads
4. The saturation of hydrocarbon tails in membrane phospholipids:
Saturated fatty acids decrease permeability of the membrane because they get very close together, which makes it harder for the molecules to pass through.
B. It's less dense. Ice floats<span> because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water.</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Decrease in burning of fossil fuels will affect carbon cycle the most.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Carbon compounds circulate within the biosphere as part of carbon cycle. In terrestrial ecosystems Plants acquire carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and in aquatic ecosystems plankton absorb carbon dioxide.
Dead plants bodies deposited underground for a large number of years get converted to fossil fuels and the burning of these fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is also released into the atmosphere through processes like respiration and decomposition of dead organic matter. If burning of fossil fuels is decreased it will be the carbon cycle which will be affected the most.
Answer:
The Plasma Membrane
Explanation:
This is because that's whats releases the proteins into the cell
Histone deacetylase is responsible for removing the acetyl group from the histone 3 lysine 9 residue. Remember that deacetylation is one step in converting euchromatin to heterochromatin. Because euchromatin is transcriptionally active (transcriptional machinery is able to reach gene of interest), and blocking histone deacetylase activity would result in an the DNA remaining as euchromatin, we would expect to see an increase in transcriptional activity.
So there’s your answer: An increase in transcriptional activity.
