Which molecule in animal plasma membranes reduces the permeability of the membrane to most biological molecules?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'e' : Cholesterol

Explanation:

The ease at which materials can be transported across a membrane depends on the membrane permeability. Membrane permeability is basically the ease at which materials are transported across membrane . As we know that upon increasing the viscosity of any fluid it's resistance to deformation increases or it applies a greater resisting force if we try to change the shape of the membrane thus reducing the permeability of the membrane. the increase in cholesterol increases the viscosity of the membrane thus reducing it's permeability.

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome. Match the w
schepotkina [342]

The answers;

1. Termination. Out of the 64 codons, UAG, UAA, and UGA are the stop codons that terminate translation when encountered by the ribosome. These three do not code for any amino acid but rather cause the translation complex to dislocate.


2. Translation. In this process, the ribosome ‘reads’ the codon and brings in a t-RNA with an anticodon to the codon. This tRNA carries a specific amino acid (for that codon) and engages in the P-site of the ribosome. The amino acid is taken from the t-RNA and used to elongate the polypeptide chain being formed. Thereafter the empty t-RNA dislocates.


3. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. When a tRNA brings in an amino acid to the initiation complex, it is dislocated when ‘empty’. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase then catalyzes the reattachment of another amino acid through a chemical reaction called esterification. The cognate tRNA then become an aminoacyl-tRNA.


4. tRNA . Every tRNA has an amino acid attached to it. The type of amino acid (out of the 22 amino acids) is determined by the anticodon on the tRNA. There are many codons that are amino acids meaning that there are redundant codons that specify for the same amino acid.


5. Initiation. Initiation begins by the formation of an initiation complex. This complex is comprosed by the two subunits of the ribosome, and the mRNA. The complex becomes compelete when a Met-tRNA (a tRNA with a methionine amino acid) engages the P-site and then translation begins.

Which of the following abiotic factors affects the ocean by creating disturbances that move energy through the water? Nutrients
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

\huge \boxed{\mathrm{Waves}}

Explanation:

Waves affect the ocean by creating disturbances that move energy through the water.

As the wind blows on the surface of the ocean, waves are created that transmit energy through the water from a starting point to an end point.
