A colleague gives you two tubes containing membrane fractions from an animal cell lysate. One tube contains the plasma membrane

fraction, and the other tube contains the mitochondrial inner membrane fraction, but the tubes are not labeled. When you analyze the macromolecule composition of the samples, you are confident that the second tube contains the mitochondrial fraction, because the sample has
A) a higher ratio of cholesterol to phospholipids.B) a higher protein to lipid ratio.C) a lower protein to lipid ratio.D) more carbohydrate in glycoproteins.E) more GPI-anchored proteins.

Answer:

B) a higher protein to lipid ratio.

Explanation:

The cell membrane of eukaryotes is known to be a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.  This implies that the first tube will contain a higher amount of lipids.

The membrane of the mitochondria is slightly different from the cell membrane in which its protein to lipid ratio is higher, containing a large number of integral proteins.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The products of photosynthesis are sugar molecules (glucose) and oxygen. <span>Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy. In this process, water and carbon dioxide combined with light energy produce glucose molecules (or other sugars) and oxygen is released as a byproduct. The glucose molecules provide organisms with two crucial resources: energy (glucose contains chemical energy) and fixed organic carbon atom. The energy of glucose is used in the process called cellular respiration where adenosine triphosphate-ATP is generated.</span>

You're on the pilot episode of a new game show called "The Transport Factor." The host hands you three different amino acids, fo
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Nine

Explanation:

These are called carrier proteins, and they have what it is called: solute-binding sites, that when saturated, they are considered "full".

Each different amino acid needs a separate carrier protein to move it across the plasma membrane, so that's 3, then the four different sugars need separate carriers as well, we add 4 more then, we have 7 so far, finally the 2 different ions use 2 more, plus the other 7, totals 9.
