you could chose to describe the first graph as any of the following phrases:
‘curved graph’
‘intercept on y-axis’
‘as x increases, y increases’,
‘y increases slowly at first, then more rapidly, then slows down again’ and ‘reaches a maximum level’.
you can chose to describe the second graph as any of the following phrases:
'gradually increases, then rapidly increases in a short period of time"
Answer:
b. Proteins
Explanation:
Several transmembrane proteins serve as transport proteins and move charged, polar and large substances such as ions, amino acids, sugars through membranes. These are the carrier proteins and channel proteins. Each type of transport protein transports a specific type of substance. Carrier proteins bind the ion or molecule and undergo changes in shape. This change moves the molecule across the membrane. Channel proteins form pores through the membrane to allow transport of substances.
For example, aquaporins are transmembrane proteins that allow water to pass through membranes.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Great variations in temperature and pH from the optimum that an enzyme needs can affect its function. pH affects ionization of the functional groups of amino acids. The interaction of charges of these amino groups helps in stabilizing loops such as those of beta sheets and alpha helices and give the protein its an appropriate shape to function.
Temperatures, on the other hand, while it does not change the ionization of the functional side groups of amino acids, it breaks these bonds of the interactions by giving the molecules enough energy to break free from these bonds hence denaturing the protein.
Answer:
Epithelial cells are tightly packed, and this lets them act as barriers to the movement of fluids and potentially harmful microbes. Often, the cells are joined by specialized junctions that hold them tightly together to reduce leaks.
Explanation:
Answer: c. Leibig's Law
Explanation:
The Liebig law of minimum states that growth is measured not by determining the available resources but the with resources which are limited or scarce. This law is applicable to ecosystem models and biological population for comparing the growth in scarcity of resources such as mineral nutrients and sunlight. This law was proposed by Carl Sprengel (1828).
