Which molecule in animal plasma membranes reduces the permeability of the membrane to most biological molecules?

Biology
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'e' : Cholesterol

Explanation:

The ease at which materials can be transported across a membrane depends on the membrane permeability. Membrane permeability is basically the ease at which materials are transported across membrane . As we know that upon increasing the viscosity of any fluid it's resistance to deformation increases or it applies a greater resisting force if we try to change the shape of the membrane thus reducing the permeability of the membrane. the increase in cholesterol increases the viscosity of the membrane thus reducing it's permeability.

When the charge inside the cell returns to the resting potential following depolarization, it is called:
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Repolarization

Explanation:

Repolarization refers to the phase during which the resting potential is restored after depolarization. This means that the inside of the axon membrane becomes negative again compared to the outside.

Repolarization is obtained by the functioning of K+ ion channels. The opening of K+ ion channels allows the K+ to move outside of the axon. Movement of positively charged ion (K+) outside of axon makes the inside negative again and the resting potential is restored.
