Why is the term lipid bilayer a good term for a cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
4vir4ik [10]3 years ago
6 0

The lipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Its role is critical because its structural components provide the barrier that marks the boundaries of a cell. The structure is called a "lipid bilayer" because it is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets.

When El Niño occurs every three to seven years, a mass of warm Pacific water that is usually pushed westward by trade winds Grou
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

"When El Niño occurs every three to seven years, a mass of warm Pacific water that is usually pushed westward by trade winds, <em>surges back eastward toward South America".</em>

Explanation:

Under normal conditions, warm water and air masses move westward, which makes it possible for cold water to ascend in a process known as <u>upwelling</u>. This upwelling occurs in South America´s coasts, providing nutrients from the bottom to the animals, especially fishes -which favors fisheries activities-. Humidity goes straight to the west precipitating in Indochina and North Australia, among other places.

Under <u>El Niño conditions</u>, a tropical stream, that is normally small, acquires strength while the opposite streams debilitate. This <u>avoids warm water to go westward, remaining in South America´s coasts</u>, which produces unusual precipitations in Chile´s coasts -followed by floral bloom in Atacama desert-, and fewer precipitations in Eastsouth Asia and  North Australia. Upwelling does not occur, so there is a fishery crisis because nutrients from the bottom do no ascend and fish populations remain equal or smaller.

Explain factors that affect enzyme activity and how those factors affect the enzyme, including the term denature.
Kitty [74]
Two main factors that affect enzyme activities are temperature and pH value. 
Every type of enzymes has their own optimum temperature and pH, where they work the fastest at. 

for temperature, if the temperature is too low for the enzyme, they may become inactive, they work slow. Give them their suitable temperature they'll work fast again.
However, if the temperature is too high, the enzyme would be denatured. You cannot use them again.

Denatured enzymes means the enzymes already changes shape of the active site and can no longer bind into substrates and therefore no longer works, no matter if you provide the suitable environment again. 

For pH, the concept is same, unless if the pH value is too extreme than the optimum pH, the enzyme will be denatured instead of being inactive.

which food groups tend to have the highest nutrient density ? Which food groups have the lowest nutrient density ? What factors
raketka [301]

Answer:

I think vegetables, fruits and dairy are the highest nutrient density, candy and different types of unhealthy food have the lowest nutrient density. It contributes to the amount of calories.

Explanation:

Remember that highest nutrient density is low calories and the lowest nutrient density is a lot of calories. There is probably no explanation about this.

I hope this answers your question! :)
