Cell biologists studying the mobility of plasma membrane proteins fused mouse and human cells together, creating a heterokaryon.

They then examined the localization of mouse and human proteins over time. Initially the mouse and human proteins were restricted to separate halves of the heterokaryon. Over time the mouse and human proteins mixed, with each protein eventually being present over the entire cell surface, consistent with proteins being able to move within the plane of the membrane.

Answer: Fluorescence microscopy

Explanation:

A protein is substance that is the essential constituent of living cells because it forms part of its structure. T<u>hey are also found in plasma membrane</u>, where they assist substances to cross the membrane.  Proteins can be:

  • <u>Integral</u>: permanently attached within the plasma membrane.
  • <u>Transmembrane</u>: it spans the entirety of the cell membrane.
  • <u>Peripheral</u>: are only temporarily associated to the membrane.

Some integral proteins can act as cellular receptors. Other proteins are responsible for cell adhesion (binding of a cell to another cell or to a surface). On the outside of the cell membranes, attached to other proteins, are the carbohydrate chains that act as labels identifying the type of cell.

<u>A heterokaryon is a multinucleate cell and in this experiment the scientists fuse a human cell and a mouse cell, each of them will have their own proteins.</u> At first, the human and mouse proteins where found in separated halves of this heterokaryon. But <u>after a while, those proteins where mixed and could no longer be identified</u>.

A fluorescent chemical called a fluorophore is able to be absorb light of specific wavelengths and then emit light of longer wavelengths. The proteins can be modified and marked with different colored fluorophores to detect them, even if they are mixed in the heterokaryon. <u>Then, they can be seen with a Fluorescence microscopy, to identify them through different colors</u>.

Bicarbonate is released into the duodenum during the process of digestion. why? select one:
Firdavs [7]

Answer: The correct answer is- C. to neutralize the acidic chyme

Bicarbonate is secreted by pancreas and released into the duodenum ( first part of small intestine) during the process of digestion.

The digestive enzymes that are secreted by the pancreas ( such as protease, amylase, lipase) into the small intestine, require an alkaline pH for their optimum functioning.

Since the chyme ( partly digested food with acidic pH, coming from the stomach) is acidic in nature, thus, the release of bicarbonate and water by the pancreas helps in neutralizing it.

This aids the final process of digestion in small intestine.

How many global bleaching events occurred since the year 2000
poizon [28]

Answer:

he summer of 2001–2002 saw a mass bleaching event that was slightly more severe than the 1997–1998 event. The first signs of substantial bleaching were reported in January 2002, with the worst over by April.

In response, GBRMPA implemented the world's most comprehensive survey of coral bleaching in collaboration with AIMS, the Cooperative Research Centre for the Great Barrier Reef (CRC Reef) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Aerial surveys revealed bleaching in 54 per cent of the 641 reefs observed. Nearly 41 per cent of offshore and 72 per cent of inshore reefs had moderate or high levels of bleaching.

Again, reef recovery was generally good, with fewer than five per cent of the reefs suffering high mortality. The worst affected reefs were in the Bowen area where around 70 per cent of corals died.

Yanka [14]

The answer that best fills in the blank would be pernicious.


A woman complains of chronic gastritis, fatigue, weight loss, and tingling in her fingers. laboratory findings show low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, and a high mean corpuscular volume. these findings are consistent with pernicious anemia.
