What is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that helps in the movement of larger molecules ?

Biology
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Channel/Transport \  proteins}}

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is also known as the cell membrane. It covers cells and regulates the transport of substances. Certain ones can pass and others cannot, depending on certain factors like size and polarity.

Smaller substances tend to diffuse or move across the membrane quite easily. However, larger molecules have a much harder time. Many depend on special proteins embedded in the membrane. These are called transport proteins and they form a channel so large molecules can still move in or out of the cell.

So, salt, water, and fats do not contribute to the movement of larger molecules, but <u>channel or transport proteins do and choice A is correct. </u>

Most coastal areas on Earth experience two high tides and two low tides every lunar day. What is a lunar day? Our days on Earth
ahrayia [7]

The correct answer is - C) 5:35 PM Friday.

The low tides occur twice in a lunar day, thus they are diurnal. The low tides appear when the Moon is between that point of the planet and the opposite of that point of the planet, thus in between, which is happening twice, on opposite parts of the planet.

Since the lunar day lasts for 24 h 50 m, we should just divide it in two, thus get 12 h 25 m. Than we should add the 12 h 25 to the time when one of the low tides appeared, which is 5:10 AM, so we will get 5:35 PM.

The low tides appear because the Moon is pulling the water upwards with its gravitational pull above the place where it is, so the side parts of the planet have their waters dragged away,thus resulting in the retreating of the water, known as low tide.

Which two processes does this diagram most directly models?
svet-max [94.6K]

The correct answer is D. Homeostasis and transport of molecules

Explanation:

The diagram presented shows the movement of glucose from outside the cell to inside it. Also, this diagram illustrates this process occurs through the cell membrane and there is a higher concentration outside the cell.

This complex process illustrates the transport of molecules in the cell, which refers to a mechanism that allows molecules and substances to move in and out of a cell. Moreover, this process implies molecules (in this case glucose) move to one area with a lower concentration to preserve equilibrium as shown by the diagram. Additionally, this equilibrium is part of homeostasis which is a set of mechanisms to main an equilibrium in the cell, including appropriate levels of glucose and other substances.

Lerok [7]
<span>A solution is the mixture of two or more substances. One of them is called the solute and the other is the solvent. A solute is the substance to be dissolved (sugar). The solvent is the one doing the dissolving (water). Therefore, suder is the solute and water is the solvent. Option C is the correct answer.</span>
