Large molecules often cross the plasma membrane while inside vesicles.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a fluid membrane mad of phospholipids bilayer. The fatty acid chains are sandwiched in between the phosphate ends of the lipid layers. The fluidity of the membrane is due to the fact that these molecules, including the integral proteins that span the membrane are NOT covalently bound to each other hence can freely move within the membrane. Cholesterol molecules are intercalated in between the fatty acid chains and prevent these carbon chains from binding to each other tightly through hydrogen bonding hence adding to the fluidity of the membrane. The cell membrane has natural pores within it that allow small molecules such as water to pass through, passively, in and out of the cell. Larger molecules have to pass through channels created by the integral proteins while the largest molecules are taken in by endocytosis and taken out by exocytosis, which translates to vesicle transport in cell.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.

In the Hershey-Chase experiment, the material that entered cells upon infection by T2 virus was labeled with which radioactive i
Lesechka [4]

The Hershey–Chase experiment was based on a bacteriophage T2 (a virus), to that DNA is the genetic material. Bacteriophage T2 attacks bacterium and makes its copies. Based on the experiment, Hershey and Chase deduced that it is the DNA of virus enters bacteria to make virus copies. To trace viral DNA, Hershey and Chase label DNA with ³²P (radioisotope of phosphorus) because phosphorus is not present in most of the proteins.

Human mutations may increase resistance to some infectious diseases. Humans which carry the mutant gene, the "sickle cell allele
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1 - Malaria

2- Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis

Explanation:

In case of malaria, the causal microorganism is Plasmodium falciparum, which target red blood cells of host. In humans who have defective sickle cell allele, have abnomral shaped red blood cells. So microorganism does not able to attach to abnormal shaped RBCs thus humans having sickle cell allele are more resistant to death caused by malaria.

In cystic fibrosis, mutation on that gene which encodes a protein known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

Normally Salmonella typhi (bacteria responsible for typhoid fever) enters into intestinal cells by attaching with CFTR receptor. Carriers of cystic fibrosis mutant gene, have abnormal CFTR thus reduced rate of entry of bacteria into carriers.

Normally Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bacteria responsible for tuberculosis) adds sulfate in its cell walls. In carriers of cystic fibrosis, arylsulfatase B activity is reduced which incorporates sulfate. Thus reduced arylsulfatase activity makes bacteria unable to add sulfate in its cell walls thus decreases their virulence to carriers of cystic fibrosis.
