The correct answers are: The lipid bilayer and proteins exist side by side without covalent bonds between them and Some proteins and lipids undergo lateral diffusion along the inner or outer surface of the membrane
According to fluid mosaic model, there is a lipid bilayer that gives fluidity and in which the protein molecules are embedded.
The membrane is mosaic because there is a pattern of different types of molecules that are put together. Molecules are constantly moving in two dimensions.
Components of the cell membrane include:
• Phospholipids – Form a bilayer
• Cholesterol –improves stability and reduce fluidity
• Proteins –integral (transmembrane) or peripheral
• Sugars-usually attached to proteins.
Answer:
Please include the drawing for further information and solutions.
The is because both are hydrophobic (due to their neutral
side chains) and have approximately the same net charge. The isoelectric point
of leucine at 25 degrees centigrade is 6.04 while that of alanine is 6.11. Therefore,
this mutation does not change the
structure of the protein hence does not affect its function (if not considerably).
There are two main reasons. First, there are introns and exons existed in eukaryotes. Introns do not contain the genetic information but are in large amount in chromosome. So, if the mutation occurs in the introns, it will be recessive. Second, one amino acid will corresponding to several base sequences. For example, UUU and UUC all represent Phe. This is called degeneracy. So if the mutation did not change the amino acid, it is also recessive.
