The main molecules present in the plasma membrane are<em><u> phospholipids</u></em>, those molecules are made of a polar, hydrophil end(glycerol with a phosphate group attached) and two non-polar, hydrophobe ends(two fatty acids rests). The cell identity is determined by <u><em>proteins </em></u>present in the membrane, a  very important type of protein that determines the identity of a specific cell is called marker. The membrane fluidity is reduced by a lipid with a ring structure, <u><em>cholesterol</em></u>, this molecule belongs to a class of biomolecules called steroids.

What role does the pancreas play in digestion
victus00 [196]

Enzymes, or digestive juices, are secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. There, it continues breaking down food that has left the stomach. The pancreas also produces the hormone insulin and secretes it into the bloodstream, where it regulates the body's glucose or sugar level.

Answer/Explanation:

Green plants can synthesise their own food by using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, with the release of oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis, and it occurs in specialized organelles called chloroplasts.  The first stages of photosynthesis require light energy, and are often called the light-dependent reactions. The next stages occur in the absence of light energy, called the light-independent reactions.

In the light-dependent reactions, chlorophyll in the chloroplasts absorb light, converting into stored chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP. The high energy electron produced by light absorption travels down an electron transport chain, driving the pumping of hydrogen ions and creating a gradient. This provides the energy to produce ATP by ATP synthase

This process is used to provide for the light-independent reactions to  form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide during a process called the Calvin cycle. The carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis are broken down during cellular respiration to generate ATP.

olga55 [171]

The first one is have the refrigerant level checked by a qualified professional. The technician will be checking any possible leak, damage and conduct test on the system. Second is to ensure airflow. Change the filter regularly, usually about every three months or maybe monthly, depending on its usage. Have the coils cleaned by a professional if it is already dirty. The third method is to not use your air conditioner when the outside temperature is below 60º. You will be saving energy and money on utility costs by just opening the windows on cool days.
