How would a small, uncharged lipid move across the cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.

If present, the ________________ allele will always be expressed as the phenotype.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Dominant

Explanation:

The dominant allele will always be shown in the phenotype if it's present, because the other allele would be dominant or recessive. If both alleles are dominant, then the dominant one shows, if one of the alleles is recessive, then the dominant allele would show over the recessive one.

I think of recessive alleles as "weak" where, they just follow behind whichever other allele exists there. If the other one is dominant, then the recessive one is behind it, and no one can see it. If it other allele is recessive, a recessive allele will be in front.
