Which of the following crosses lipid bilayers the slowest?

Biology
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

d. polar molecule like glucose

Explanation:

The lipid bilayer of cells are composed basically by lipids and some other proteins. These proteins can act as carries to get in or get out from the cell some substances. Since the lipids are non polar substances, the non polar molecules can travel easily because they are similar substances, in the case of the polar substances they need some carriers and in the case that they don`t enter by a carrier, so the nature of the molecule is not so soluble in the lipid bilayer, in this way will cross at a slowest rate.

a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the lungs to the blood

b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand during inhalation

c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more oxygen to be inhaled

d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the efficient gas exchange

The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange. Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.

The function to accelerate the rate of chemical reaction in order to support life. The enzymes in the body assist in performing very essential functions. These comprise eradicating toxins, building muscle, and dissociating particles of food at the time of digestion.  

Enzymes are needed for performing the proper function of the digestive system. Digestive enzymes are primarily produced in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. However, even salivary glands generate digestive enzymes in order to dissociate the molecules of food at the time of chewing.  

There are three prime kinds of digestive enzymes, which are classified on the basis of the reactions they catalyze. These are protease, amylase, and lipase.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.

The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.

The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.
