Which of the following statements about a typical plasma membrane is correct?a. Phospholipids are the primary component that det

ermines which solutes can cross the plasma membrane.b. The plasma membrane is a covalently linked network of phospholipids and proteins that controls the movement of solutes into and out of a cell.c. Carbohydrates on the membrane surface are important in determining the overall bilayer structure.d. The two sides of the plasma membrane have different lipid and protein composition.e. The hydrophilic interior of the membrane is composed primarily of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic – meaning they are ‘water-hating’. This is why they are in the middle of the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane 'hiding' from the 'watery' environment of a cell. This poses a challenge in the diffusion of large and charged molecules across the membrane -such as sodium ions. Such molecules need transmembrane protein channels to help them cross the membrane. These are called integral proteins because they are part and parcel of the cell membrane. The cell membrane, in addition, also has glycolipids and glycoproteins on its surface that are significant in the identification of the cell by other cells.

What process occurs in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?
Naddika [18.5K]

Explanation:

In the given question, the options are not provided in the question and neither they are found anywhere therefore based on the previous knowledge this can be answered.

Since both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes are living therefore they perform the metabolism or chemical reactions in the form of process.

Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes perform almost similar process like the cellular respiration, photosynthesis by green colored organisms, the Central dogma related process like the replication, transcription and translation.

The central dogma related processes differ in these process only in terms of the site they are performed and a few modifications which are characteristics of the eukaryotic cells.

In prokaryotes, the transcription and translation are coupled and takes place in the cytosol whereas in eukaryotes transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytosol.

Also in eukaryotes, modifications like the splicing, alternative splicing, capping and tailing are observed which are not observed in the prokaryotes.

Lotions applied during winter season moisturize the skin very quickly. What could be the reason for this?
MrRissso [65]

The right answer is D.

The absorption of molecules at the level of the skin is carried out by passive diffusion for the molecules of low molecular weight (lower than 400 Da), the skin being covered with a lipoprotein film rich in water by its stratum corneum, rendering it little-permeable.

This absorption may be variable according to factors related to the skin such as stratum corneum's thickness, the state of hydration, the presence of cutaneous lesions or individual variations.

External factors may also modulate percutaneous absorption such as contact time, iontophoresis or the presence of specific adjuvants.
