What is a primary function of cholesterol in the plasma membranes of some animals?

Biology

The cholesterol increases the stability of the cell membrane

Explanation:

The cholesterol molecules are intercalated in the fatty acid chains of the hydrophobic layer of the bilipid layer. They prevent the fatty acid chains from tightly packing together (from the many hydrogen bond interactions between the chains). Therefore the cell membrane retains fluidity even when temperature go below homeostatic levels in the body. In addition increase the boiling point of the cell membrane (acting the way impurities do) hence reducing its disruption even when temperature goes above homeostatic levels in the body.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Esta es mi respuesta quizá hay respuestas que difieran de la mía .

Bueno tus diagramas son mas de euler que de venn, por que les falta el conjunto universo. pero bueno para lógica matemática nos sirven ambos.

A ver:

Para representar por Compresión, expresamos la principal característica global que define a los elementos del conjunto con simbología o escritura.

Para expresar por Extensión se ponen todos los elementos del conjunto.

Para tu ejercicio:

a)

Extensión

A={ 1 ; 4 ; 5 ; 12 }

B={4 ; 8 ; 12}  

Compresión

x / x ∈ AUB ⇔ x∈A  ó  x∈B  

b)  

Extensión

A={10,5,14}

B={5 ; 14}

Comprensión

x / x ∈ A ⇔ B⊂A ⇒ x ∈ B  

c)

Extensión

A={8 ; 9}

B={5 ; 15}

Comprensión

x / x ∈ A ⇔A⊄B

x / x ∈ B ⇔B⊄A
