Answer:

The macromolecules that forms pumps and channels in the cell membrane, allowing the entry and exit of molecules to the cell are protein.

Explanation:

Membrane integral proteins are a type of macromolecule attached to the structure of the membrane and have ends in contact with the cytoplasm and the extracellular medium.

These <u>protein molecules can act as channels and transporters or pumps</u>, to facilitate the passage of substances through the membrane. An example of transmembrane channels are ion channels, while a protein transporter is the sodium potassium ATP-ase pump.

Membrane proteins can also act as surface receptors and enzymes linked to the cell membrane.

The other options are not correct because :

  • <em><u>Carbohydrates</u></em><em> can be found on the membrane bound to other molecules, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids, but they do not act as pumps or channels. </em>
  • <em><u>Lipids</u></em><em> have the function of being the main component of the cell membranes. </em>
  • <em><u>Nucleic acids</u></em><em> are found in the nucleus, and are not part of the cell membrane.</em>

What are the two types of biological interactions?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

They can be either of the same species (intraspecific interactions), or of different species (interspecific interactions). These effects may be short-term, like pollination and predation, or long-term; both often strongly influence the evolution of the species involved. A long-term interaction is called a symbiosis.

By the first distance, I'd say Venus (0.72 AU)

By the second distance, I'd say it's Saturn (9.54 AU)

But you also say it has no visible rings so the answer is VENUS.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

We know that oil floats on water and do not mix
<span>
What happens to the oil when you first pour it in? It flows into the water, but then seperates.

Why does this happen? oil is lighter than water and the molecules of the oil are attracted to the other oil molecules, not water, the water molecules the same

What kinds of animals would be most affected by an oil spill at the beginning? animals that live their lives near the surface of the ocean. Why? because now the water that was clear and free-flowing is now dark and sticky. oil also changes the way how some animals survive so make their ways less effective. one example are birds like pelicans

Use a spoon to stir the oil for 30 seconds.


Answer the following questions:
What natural action stirs the real ocean? ocean currents caused by wind and the earth's roation
What happened to the oil? went back to the top
Even if you can’t see it, is all the oil still in your ocean? yes
Which animals in the ocean become affected after wave and current action causes some of the oil to settle to the bottom, or be absorbed into the water?  bottom-feeders
Add a splash of dish detergent to the mixture and stir.


Answer the following questions:
What happened to the oil? it mixed with the water Is it all still in the ocean? yes
Sometimes cleanup efforts involve dumping a soap mixture over a spill area. Why is this done? to bond the oil to the detergent and the detergent to the water. so they can grab all the oil
What might be a negative effect of dumping the soap?</span> soap has chemicals that could upset the ballance of the ecosystem and kil some animals/plants
