Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Membrane proteins <u>DO NOT</u> produce phospholids.                                                                                                                                                                            

Explanation:

Phospholipids are a category of lipids that are a key part of all cell membranes. They can form lipid bilayers because of their amphiphilic characteristic. The structure of the phospholipid molecule generally consists of two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" and a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group. The two components are usually joined together by a glycerol molecule.

The first phospholipid identified in 1847 by the French chemist and pharmacist Theodore Nicolas Gobley, in biological tissues was lecithin, or phosphatidylcholine, in the egg yolk of chickens. Purified phospholipids are produced commercially and have found applications in nanotechnology and materials science.                                  

Cheers!

Answer: D)

Membrane proteins produce phospholids

Explanation:

Membrane proteins in the mitochondria do more than just generate cellular energy. The proteins in the membranes of the mitochondria are complex machines in the nanoworld that mediate the oxygen-coupled generation of energy in cells. Their role in this process is not yet understood in detail.

Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of organisms: Membrane receptor proteins relay signals between the cell's internal and external environments. Transport proteins move molecules and ions across the membrane.

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70mV across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell fro
Alja [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - yes, The ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference.

Explanation:

Ion channels create a potential difference by providing a path for the flow of current across the membrane. Ion pumps such as Na+/K+ pump create a potential difference across the membrane by separating the charge.

In the sodium-potassium pump the movement of ions across the inside and outside of the membrane by active transport. The concentration difference between the inside of the membrane and outside of the membrane causes a potential difference.

Identify the specific sensory receptors for each of the five common senses.
KiRa [710]
The five senses of the human body are: 
Taste: its receptors are chemoreceptors located in the tongue, named taste buds
Smell: its receptors are also chemoreceptors, located in the nose, named Olfactory receptors
Hearing: cochlea are tonoreceptors which feels the vibrations in the air that produces the sound and transmit it to the brain
Touch: its receptors are terminal nerves mechanoreceptors, located everywhere in the body
Sight: The retina contains photoreceptors which transmit the nerves impulses to the brain
