Answer: As a flavor enhancer </span>
Glutamate is known to be one of the most free amino acid in
bacteria cytoplasm and it is present in many proteins, tissues and peptides. This
amino acid is produced in the body and binds with other amino acids to form a
structural protein. However, glutamate is commonly used as flavor enhancer in
foods and enhance the savory flavors impacted by glutamic acid.
Answer:
Answer is microvilli.
Explanation:
Plasma membrane possesses or comprises of channels , made up of proteins , and form openings for certain molecules to diffuse through and into the cell.
The major function of the microvilli is that it increases the surface area of the cell. This activity increases the rate of absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
It should be noted that, microvilli are projections or protrusions found on the cellular membrane.
Answer: Unlike other body cells that can store fat in limited supplies, fat cells are specialized for fat storage and are able to expand almost indefinitely in size.
The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.

Answer:
C. Excessive potassium has diffused out causing hyperpolarization.
Explanation:
The nerve action potential can be divided into following stages:
- Stimulus is detected by the cell in resting stage.
- Sodium channels in the membrane open from where influx of sodium ions occur which is called depolarization
- After a while, sodium channels close and potassium channels open from where efflux of potassium ions occur which is called repolarization.
- The membrane potential further lowers due to continous efflux of potassium ions which is called hyperpolarization.
- After a while potassium channels close and membrane returns to its resting stage.
In the given figure, stage 4 depicts hyperpolarization because the membrane potential has dropped to the lowest point below -70mV. Hence, option C is correct.
Answer:
When the rule of 70 applies to population, dividing 70 by the percentage of population growth should equal the time (in years) that the population needs to be double (option A)
Explanation:
The rule of 70 is useful to calculate the time in which a variable of any type can be duplicated. The calculation is done by dividing the number 70 by the percentage of growth of the variable.
<u>If the rule of 70 is applied to the population, it is possible to calculate, based on its growth rate, the time that population would need to double</u>.
If, for example, the growth rate of a population is 3 percent:
70 / 3 = 23,33
This indicates that a population, with a growth rate of 3% would need about 23,33 years to double.
