zlopas [31]3 years ago
6 0

OPTIONS:

A) lymphatic vessels.

B) the venae cavae.

C) the spleen.

D) lymph nodes.

E) lymph.

Answer:

B) the venae cavae.

Explanation:

The lymphatic system is an organ system that consists of a network of lymphoid tissues, lymphatic vessels and organs, which perform functions such as removal of toxins and unwanted materials, as well as production of immune cells that helps primarily in fighting against infection.

Lymphatic vessels, the spleen, lymph nodes, and lymph are all part of the lymphatic system.The venae cavae are two large vessels that empty deoxygenated blood received from all parts of the body into the right atrium. They are not part of the lymphatic system.

true or false some of the metabolically important molecules your body needd in order to survive cannot pass through the lipid bl
kherson [118]

Explanation:

True

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Further explanation:

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.

Carrier proteins (also called carriers, permeases, or transporters) bind the specific solute to be transported and undergo a series of conformational (shape) changes to transfer the bound solute across the membrane. Others cross the membrane through the process of endocytosis, which utilizes membrane-bound organelles for transport.
