The correct answer is: A) The polarity of membrane phospholipids
Factors that affect membrane permeability are
1. Chemicals :
Some of the organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol can dissolve the membrane and thus, destroy the selective permeability of the membrane.
2. Temperature :
Too high temperatures denature the protein that are in the structure of the membrane destroying its selective permeability. On the other hand, too low temperature slows down molecule movements and the permeability decreases.
3. Cholesterol:
Increases the permeability by reducing the barrier formed by phospholipids’ heads
4. The saturation of hydrocarbon tails in membrane phospholipids:
Saturated fatty acids decrease permeability of the membrane because they get very close together, which makes it harder for the molecules to pass through.
Answer: The atom is mostly empty space.
Explanation:
Before to Rutherford, the accepted model for the atom was Thomson's model:
The atoms were a positive sphere, with electrons occupying space in it".
This was called the "plum pudding model".
Then came Ernest Rutherford, and he created a model where the atoms are mostly empty space (void) with a positive charged nucleus (really compressed in the center), and the electrons were orbiting around it.
Then the correct option is that the atom is mostly empty space.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. Epstein-Barr virus: virus visible inside red blood cells.
Explanation:
The Epstein-Barr virus is a virus or virions that cause several serious diseases such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and kind of cancers. These viruses can be detected by the making smear of blood in the electron microscope.
The electron microscope shows round capsids that have protein encased genetically material that is loosely enclosed in a membrane. These are transmitted through saliva generally.
Thus, the correct answer is C.
Answer:
Meters/grams are the most common.
Explanation:
Grams are very exact and meters are also common to use.
External adaption because it doesn’t adapt patterns
