Answer: True

Explanation:

<u>A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail.</u> It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this,<u> it is selectively permeable</u> and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.

To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).

Why does the damage of the nervous system cause paralysis of the body?
Shtirlitz [24]
Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. The nervous system is what give signals to the different parts of our body so that if it is damaged signals and messages could not be transported. If the central nervous system is damaged, paralysis frequently affects the movement of a limb as a whole, not the individual muscles.

What part of DNA provides the code for proteins?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Gene

Explanation:

The genome of an organism is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

_____________ and __________ are the components of ribosomes. A) DNA and RNA B) RNA and protein C) Ribose and amino acids D) Mic
yanalaym [24]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) RNA and Proteins.

Ribosome is a molecular machinery, which is located in all living cells. It is formed from proteins and complexes of rRNA ( ribosomal RNA). That is why, it is also called as ribonucleoprotein.

Ribosome serves as the site for protein synthesis. It is primarily divided into two subunits, a larger ribosomal subunit and a smaller ribososmal subunit, which together assist the process of protein formation ( translation).

Thus, the components of ribosomes are RNA and proteins.
