Cardiovascular diseases
Metabolic syndrome is a
combination or cluster of metabolic risk factors in a single individual. However,
the metabolic risk factors include hypertension, insulin resistance, stroke,
heart diseases and cholesterol abnormalities. Thus, the clustering of all these
risk factors is specific to cardiovascular diseases.
Answer:
sensory and integration
Explanation:
those are the two main functions.
Answer: molecule
Explanation: common knowledge
Answer:
(B) calmodulin
Explanation:
Calcium in cells acts as second messenger molecule which regulates the very important physiological and cellular process of cell-like neurotransmission, cell migration, secretion, fertilization and many others.
Calcium acts as a messenger by binding to a calcium-binding protein called calmodulin. Calmodulin forms complex with 4 calcium ions through the side amino acids present in the structure of calmodulin.
Thus, calmodulin is the correct answer.
Answer:
b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails
Explanation:
B is correct as the cell membrane is selectively semi-permeable. It is selectively semi-permeable because this quality allows it to control what can and can't enter the cell, and how it does so.
The cell membrane also has a phospholipid bi-layer comprised of a double layer of phospholipids which have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This is because the heads are made of phosphate and are polar and are therefore attracted to water (hydrophilic), while the tails are made of lipids (i.e. fats, oils) which do not mix with water and are therefore hydrophobic.
The properties of each phospholipid is also why they form the double layer structure, the hydrophilic heads naturally face outwards into the water and protect the hydrophobic tails on the inside.
Hope this helped!
