Lipids in a bilayer can diffuse laterally at a relatively fast rate, but \"flip-flop\" from one leaflet to the other very slowly

without catalysis. Three protein families –flippases (or flipases), floppases, and scramblases – catalyze the movement of lipids across the bilayer. Sort each of the phrases as describing flippases, floppases, or scramblases. Choose the best, most-specific enzyme name. Note: If you answer any part of this question incorrectly, a single red X will appear indicating that one or more phrases are sorted incorrectly.Not ATP-dependent, Activation may result in increased membrane lipid symmetry, ABC transporter, translocate lipids from outer (extracellular) leaflet to inner (cytosolic) leaflet, translocate phosphatidylserine, preventing apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages, move phospholipids from inner (cytoplasmic) leaflet to outer (extracellular) leaflet, move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer down the concentration gradient

Answer:

  • flippases translocate lipids from outer (extracellular) leaflet to inner (cytosolic) leaflet,
  • floppases, move phospholipids from inner (cytoplasmic) leaflet to outer (extracellular) leaflet, ABC transporter, move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer down the concentration gradient
  • scramblases Not ATP-dependent, Activation may result in increased membrane lipid symmetry, translocate phosphatidylserine,  preventing apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages,  

Explanation:

Flipases are transportes that require energy for their functioning (ATP dependent) beause they move phospolipids across the lipid bilayer against the concentration gradient  (from extracellular side to cytosolic side).

Floppases are ABC transporters, opposite than flippases (move phospholipids from the cytosolic side).

Scrablases are bidirectional transporters, responsible for asymmetry formation. It also enables exposure of phosphatidylserineon the outer leaflet when it is necessary.

Two different groups of scientists studying a rare trait in ground squirrels report very different heritabilities. What factors
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

It is a trait highly influenced by environmental factors (i.e., it has low heritability)

Explanation:

In population genetics, heritability is a statistical measure to estimate the proportion of the phenotype variation of a given trait which can be explained by hereditable genetic factors. The heritability of a trait is influenced by environmental factors, genetic factors (e.g., allele frequencies, number of genes involved in trait variation, recombination rate, etc), and the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. A low heritability value suggests that most of the variation is not genetic (i.e., due to environmental factors), while a high heritability value suggests that almost all of the variability in a trait is due to genetic factors.

zubka84 [21]
The mathematical evaluation methods use to calculate benefits and costs can make the calculation of cost benefit analysis to be very complicated. The definitions and calculations of benefits and costs are quite controversial in term of the valuation and discounting calculation methods that are applied to them.
