Answer: Add more of the proteins to the plasma membrane and measure the rate of the particle movement.

Explanation:

<u>A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to or associated with the membrane of a cell or organelle.</u> Membrane proteins can be grouped into two groups based on the way they associate with the membrane.:

  • Integral membrane proteins are permanently rooted within the plasma membrane. They perform many important functions; these include the transport of molecules across the membrane.
  • Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that are only temporarily associated with the membrane. They can be easily removed, allowing them to become involved in cellular communication.

<u>A channel protein is an embedded protein found the cell membrane which provides a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions</u>. They have a size which excludes all but the specific molecules which move from an area of high concentration to an area with a lower concentration.

To determine if the new membrane protein is a channel protein involved in membrane transport, an experiment could be made by adding more of the proteins to the plasma membrane and measure the rate of the particle movement. If the channel is involved, then the rate will be faster because there are more channels that make the movement faster.

Answer:

Explanation:The investigation is aimed at understanding

1. how molecular size affects movement through a membrane.

Therefore

2.Add more of the proteins to the plasma membrane.

Then measure the rate of the particle movement

If you were planting a vegetable garden, what should you consider for the time of planting?
zvonat [6]

When planting vegetables it is very important to know the climate of the area, its usual patterns, and how will that affect the growth and development of the crops. The soil quality too is very important, as it is the basis for the development of the root-stock of the crops.

If we have a temperate type of climate, than we have four different seasons, meaning different weather patterns throughout the year. We can take onions, radish, and peppers as vegetables of choice. The onions can be planted in mid-autumn, as they will need more moisture, and they are resilient to low temperatures, thus will not have problems in the winter, and in the spring they will already have the basis so will grow quickly and be larger. The radish can be planet in late winter or early spring, in a period when there is more precipitation. It is not a vegetable that likes high temperatures, so with its quick development, it will be able to develop the tuber by late spring. The peppers can not sustain low temperatures, so they should be planted in late spring. They also like warm weather and lot of water, so it will be needed to water them a lot in the hot and dry period. They will manage to develop and produce the vegetables by the end of the summer, thus not getting damaged by the cold nights in the autumn.
