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.

The difference between the images in the two eyes, or the ______, is the binocular cue the brain uses to see in three dimensions
Monica [59]

Answer:

Disparity

Explanation:

The disparity in vision refers to the imperfect match between the two eyes caused by the different views perceived at a slightly different angle by two eyes.

This difference between the image formed at the retina at a different angle gets fused and the brain perceives the fused image as a single perception by the eyes. This disparity thus allows the brain to analyse the 3D view of the sample and the binocular disparity between image helps determine the depth of the image.

Thus, Disparity is the correct answer.
