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.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Afferent arteriole

Explanation:

A glomerulus is formed from the afferent blood vessels, a branch from the renal artery. The afferent arteriole collects blood from the glomerulus and extends to the renal tubule where it divides into capillaries that ramify the tubule. The afferent arteriole is wider than the efferent arteriole.

What information can you get about earthquakes location from only two seismic stations data?
maksim [4K]

<u>Answer</u>:

From only two seismic stations data we can get the direction from which the Earthquake originated.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When the information taken into consideration from only one station, it tells us about the epicenter of the earthquake could at any point on that circle. when the information comes from two stations, the circles intersect at  2  points, so there are possibility  of having two epicenters. With three stations, the circles intercept at only one point, which must be the epicenter. The sesmic station present in the network helps in measuring the movement of plates from the ground motion. the signature sesmograph tells us about the bigger earthquakes.
