What gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier for the cell

Biology
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
7 0
Cell membrane fluidity is determined by many things, including the presence of or absence of saturated and or unsaturated fatty acid tails, and because of that the ability of the phospholipids in a cell membrane to tightly pack together or not. I believe though in terms of an additional substance it would have to be cholesterol. These specific lipid molecules are inserted in between the phospholipids preventing phospholipids from tightly packing together thus allowing the cell membrane to have greater fluidity and flexibility.

A lab-reared strain of mice is glucose 6-phosphate-insensitive. How would this affect glycogen synthesis? Select the best answer
yan [13]

Answer:

The best response is polyose synthesis would decline as a result of the b form of glycogen synthase couldn't be allosterically stimulated. In general, aldohexose six phosphate allosterically stimulates the protein polyose synthase. However as this mice is complex to aldohexose six phosphate, polyose synthase can't be stimulated, and as an effect polyose synthesis would decline.

A kinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates target proteins, whereas a phosphatase is an enzyme that dephosphosphorylates target p
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Phosphatase removes the phosphate groups from protein molecules during the dephosphorylation process. As a result, a phosphatase can deactivate a protein that has been activated by a kinase. Dephosphorylation, however, cannot be reversed. 

<h2>What is Phosphorylation?</h2>

It is a process in which a molecule gets attached to a phosphoryl group.

The opposite of the phosphorylation is dephosphorylation in which the molecule looses a phosphoryl group.
