What Helps to maintain the plasma membranes fluidity?

Biology
2 answers:
Triss [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

If unsaturated fatty acids are compressed, the “kinks” in their tails push adjacent phospholipid molecules away, which helps maintain fluidity in the membrane. The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids determines the fluidity in the membrane at cold temperatures.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

<u>Temperature</u> is most likely the reason of protein unfolding (denaturation).

Explanation:

In the figure attached, coiled (3-dimensional) protein structure is changed to 2 dimensional structure in which protein is unfolded. This is most likely the result of heating proteins which destroys the hydrogen bonds and non-polar hydrophobic interactions that are necessary to establish the tertiary structure of proteins. Principally, increased temperature results in the increased kinetic energy of atoms within a molecule. If the amount of heat is sufficient to break the hydrogen bonds, protein molecule can unfold to 2D structure as shown in the figure.

Which component of bone is responsible for its strength?
Lorico [155]
<span>The answer is osteoid. It begins with unmineralized collagen fibers and ground substance. Later it becomes a calcified matrix. The matrix is mainly made of collagen and calcium ions.   When not well mineralized, osteoblasts proliferates hence the bone will not have the desired strength. This results to deformation of bone causing rickets</span>
