It is called the Milky Way because it appears as a milky band of light in the sky when you see it in a really dark area. Just as the Earth goes around the Sun, the Sun goes around the center of the Milky Way.
Meiosis.
Meiosis gives crossing over genes causing the organism to have genetic variety
Answer:
Te correct answer is "Being transported by specific carrier proteins".
Explanation:
Cholesterol is one of the most important lipids in our body. It is useful for membrane formation and for sexual and suprarenal hormone synthesis. The organism obtains cholesterol from food and liver production. It goes to the blood where it is transported by lipoproteins to its final destiny.
In the intestine, cholesterol is absorbed in three phases:
- <em>intraluminal phase</em>: in this phase micellar formation is necessary for cholesterol absorption. Micellar solubilization is a transport way for cholesterol to diffuse through the mucus barrier that covers intestine surface microvilli. Once there cholesterol is available for intestinal cells.
- <em>mucose phase</em>: in this phase cholesterol pass from the lumen to the cytoplasm of the intestinal cells, and when necessary, from the cytoplasm to the intestinal lumen. In the cells´ membrane, there are proteins that transport cholesterol to and from the interior of the cell.
- <em>Intracellular phase</em>: In the intestinal cell cholesterol is sent to the endoplasmic reticulum where it is reesterified to be transported in the blood. As cholesterol is insoluble it is packaged in lipoproteins to be transported.
Each lipoprotein has a union site that is specific for a target membrane receptor. Lipoproteins get in the target cells by endocytosis mediated by the specific receptors. Once in the interior of the cell cholesterol is taken from the lipoprotein by breaking the ester link, and then they reesterify it to include it in the membrane.
The rain gauge is an instrument used by meteorologists to measure the amount of precipitation in a particular region in a particular amount of time.
The rain gauge is placed on the ground in order to collect the rain or the precipitation sample. The rain gauge is labelled with the quantities, which can be used to measure the amount of precipitation.
So, the correct answer is option (a). on or near the ground.
