Answer:
Phospholipid bilayer.
Explanation:
The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is defined as a biological membrane that separates the interiors of a cell from its external environment.
The plasma membrane has a function that protects the cell from its external environment, mediates cellular transport, and transmits cellular signals.
It is composed of a lipids bilayer (phospholipids and cholesterol), (phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group) with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules which hence, regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells. Plasma membranes is very flexible in order to allow cells change form example, red blood cells change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries.
Answer:
Bacteria and Archaea
Explanation:
The prokaryotes are classified into two domains, the bacteria and the archaea domains. This makes them unique as the other organisms fall into one of the three domains, not in two of them. The prokaryotes come in many different shapes. They all do fall into three categories, bacilli (which are the rod-shaped prokaryotes), spirilli (which are the spiral-shaped prokaryotes), and cocci (which are the spherical shaped prokaryotes).
Answer:
This question lacks options, options are:
A) ATP
B) NADP
C) Pryuvate
D) glucose
E) acetyl-CoA.
The correct answer is C) Pyruvate.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is a very important compound for the cell since it is a key substrate for energy production and glucose synthesis (neo-glycogenesis), that is, pyruvate is the end product of glucose breakdown in glycolysis. Before entering the mitochondria, it can be converted to lactate, through an anaerobic reaction (in the absence or under oxygen supply) of low performance in energy production, when the main pathway is interfered with. It can also be converted to the amino acid alanine. Within the mitochondria, it can be transformed, by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), into acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), the entry point (substrate) of the Krebs cycle. In addition, by means of pyruvate carboxylase, it can be transformed into oxalacetate, which constitutes the first step in neoglycogenesis.
