Answer:

The correct answers are described in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

The function of the structures in the cell membrane are as follows:

a) phospholipid bilayer: comprised of fatty acids and alcohol, the phospholipid bilayer acts as a hydrophobic barrier to avoid the uncontrolled transport of molecules and ions.

b) peripheral protein: they are proteins present in the external surface of the cell membrane. This proteins form temporary bonds between the cells and other molecules, attaching and detaching at specific times.

c) integral protein: this proteins have one part of its structure in the surface and other part within the cell membrane. They have different roles, including: receptors, transporters, linkers, channels, among others.

d) glycolipid & glycoprotein: proteins that have carbohydrate-bearing portions  in its extracellular environment. They maintain the stability of the cell membrane and facilitate cellular recognition.

e) cholesterol: cholesterol structure helps to the packing of the phospholipids, which restricts the passage of the molecules.

Answer:

T T C O C T

Explanation:

Each eukaryotic chromosome usually has repeated telomere sequences ranging from 2 to as many as 2000.

There is normally just one specialized DNA sequence called the centromere per eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecule.

The origin of replication is the site where DNA duplication starts in S phase.

The centromere attaches the chromosome to the mitotic spindle via the kinetochore structure.

Teleomere contains repeateted sequences at the ends of the chromosomes.

"Bile is produced by the liver and travels through the bile ducts to be stored in the gallbladder."
sladkih [1.3K]
The gallbladder acts as a storage vessel for bile produced by the liver. Bile is produced by hepatocytes cells in the liver and passes through the bile ducts to the cystic duct. From the cystic duct, bile is pushed into the gallbladder by peristalsis. I therefore believe that the gallbladder could be classified as Exocrine gland, because bile is delivered through a duct.

Virty [35]

Answer:

In my opinion I like North Padre Island better. A lot lot less commercialized and less expensive too. But, there are a lot more choices for different hotels on the beach in South Padre Island. North Padre also lets you drive on the beach and pick the spot you would like to be at or just enjoy seeing the beach
