What are the molecules that make up most the membrane

Biology
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: Lipid molecules.

Explanation: Biological membranes are bilayer of phospholipids that control the entrance and exit of molecules in the cells. The major components of phospholipids are the fatty acids. Phospholipids have two components: the fatty acyl chains and the phosphate group. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids molecules face each other at the core of the bilayer, forming a fluid hydrophobic interior while the phosphate (polar head) groups face outward. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer held by hydrophobic interactions between the membrane lipids and hydrophobic domains in the proteins. Both proteins and lipids move laterally in the plane of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as an average American, what percent of the Earth would
matrenka [14]

Answer:

D. 200%

Explanation:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

So we actually would need like 5 Earths.

The option is 200%
