What causes the phospholipids to organize themselves the way they do

Biology
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
7 0

All of the liquid molecules in cell membranes amphipathic (or amphiphilic) -that is, they have a hydrophilic ("water loving") or polar end and a hydrophobic ("water fearing") or nonpolar end. The most abundant membrane lipids are the phospholipids. These have a polar head group and two hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails.


Hope that Helps :)

How is HIV contracted, and what are the treatment options?
Katena32 [7]

I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>

The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.

Bas_tet [7]
Because carbon dioxide is a GREENHOUSE GAS, it can trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere. Because the factory is made of concrete, it may deplete groundwater levels overtime by not allowing water to INFILTRATE.

Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat and this is how we can feel it. Without greenhouse gases the earth's average temperature would be 30 degrees less. Other greenhouse gases include water vapor and methane. Increases in the levels of Greenhouse gasses are responsible for present day global warming.

Infiltration is the process by which water enters the soil and eventually becomes part of the groundwater.
