You have a planar bilayer with equal amounts of saturated and unsaturated phospholipids. After testing the permeability of this

membrane to glucose, you increase the proportion of unsaturated phospholipids in the bilayer. What will happen to the membrane's permeability to glucose?

Answer: The increase to the permeability to glucose.

Explanation:

Membranes fluidity increases if there is addition of unsaturated proportion in the membrane. This increase in the fluidity of the membrane the glucose molecules will pass more easily through the cell membrane.

The cell membrane of the cells are semi permeable as it does not allows all the molecules to pass through it, it allows only certain molecules to pass through it.

Hence, addition of unsaturated phospholipids in the cell membrane will increase the permeability towards glucose.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The ability of species of living beings to overproduce offspring

Explanation:

Darwin proposed that species have the ability to produce offspring at a rate that could cause a geometric increase in the population size. This is called biotic potential. The overproduction of offspring causes intraspecific competition for the limited available resources. Darwin reasoned that the overproduction of progeny leads to a struggle for existence between the individuals of a population. He observed that the struggle for existence does not allow the population size of species to grow geometrically.

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.
