Answer: The body uses carbohydrates for both long term and short term energy storage
Explanation: Some of the energy our body saves is only there for a certain amount of time or we use our energy so therefore it is Short term storage
We also have long term storage since we don't use all of our energy all the time and it needs to be stored some where
The general theory is that mitochondria and chloroplasts began initially as separate cells that were "eaten" by larger cells, but not digested and simply passed on due to their advantages.<span />
C. Although Alpha Centauri B is similar in size to the sun, it is much further away from earth. The sun is 8 minutes away from earth at the speed of light, while Alpha Centauri B and earth is more than 4 light years apart.
Answer:
Explanation:
1- closely packed osteons or haversian systems, used to provide strength and protection to bones.
2- Spongy bone consists of plates (trabeculae) and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow. provides balance to the dense and heavy compact bone by making bones lighter so that muscles can move them more easily.
Answer:
The correct answers are option A. "tethering proteins to the cell cortex", B. "using barriers such as tight junctions", C. "tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix", D. "forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids", E. "tethering proteins to the surface of another cell"
Explanation:
According to the fluid-mosaic model, the components of cell membranes are in constant movement forming a barrier to avoid unwanted exterior component internalization and to avoid the loss of precious internal components. This constant movement could cause that proteins move across the plasma membrane. But, this is avoided by several mechanisms including:
A. Tethering proteins to the cell cortex. The cell cortex is a rigid structure made of actin and actomyosin. Proteins found in the plasma membrane are tethered to this structure to restrict their movement.
B. Using barriers such as tight junctions. Tight junctions are barriers found in epithelia made of claudin and occludin proteins. These barriers are impenetrable, which avoid the movement of proteins in the cell membrane.
C. Tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of several proteins and macromolecules that provide a structural and biochemical support to cells that are nearby. Proteins could be tethered to this rigid structure as well.
D. Forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids. The proteins in the cell membrane that form a covalent linkage with membrane lipids are known as lipid-anchored proteins, or lipid-linked proteins.
E. Tethering proteins to the surface of another cell. When cell-cell communication take place it is possible that proteins in the cell membrane got tethered to the surface of the other cell.
