FAULT-TOLERANT computer systems are systems that are built with
the ability to keep working to
a level of satisfaction, even in the presence of faults within one or more of
its components. <span>This
fault tolerant ability is sometimes referred to as graceful degradation</span>
Answer:
<u>d. Transport proteins within the membrane serve as a tunnel for molecules to enter the cell.
</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Solutes are typically moved across the cell through either passive or active transport. The cells, surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane is amphiphlic- its polar, hydrophilic lipid heads face outwards, while their non-polar hydrophobic lipid tails face inwards towards each other.
While lipid-soluble molecules move across the layer easily, it is also difficult for charged and also large molecules to move across its surface, into the cell. Transmembrane channels, <u>embedded within the membrane</u>, help to maintain selective permeability as transport proteins, pores and gated channels. Simple diffusion happens as a method of passive transport in cells through plasma membranes.
The solutes travel through the plasma membrane in the process of diffusion from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration; this occurs without the use of energy. <u>Molecules moving against their concentration require active transport mechanism to cross the membrane</u>.
Answer:
The population first grows, stabilizes, and then declines.
Explanation:
A researcher is studying a population with a unique age structure. An age structured histogram he has developed over the course of several decades has undergone transformations in shape, from a pyramid shape to a roughly rectangular shape to an inverted pyramid shape (where the base is narrower than the top). The population first grows, stabilizes, and then declines.
Answer:
Codon
Explanation:
mRNA bases are grouped into sets of three, called codons.
Is spread from one person to another through a variety of ways that include: contact with blood and bodily fluids; breathing in an airborne virus; or by being bitten by an insect.
