What's the difference between human skin and the cell membrane

Biology

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

Answer: Read explanation

Explanation: there’s actually no similarity at all. A cell membrane is made of phospholipids, globular proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and cholesterol, and has passages that serve explicitly for passive and active transport of materials through it.

The skin is made of cells and dead keratin and serves as much as possible to prevent most substances from moving through it. It’s “designed” for toughness and distensibility, not for selective permeability.

All in all, the difference is that a cell membrane is explicitly and only for the passing and transport of materials through it, and the skin in the skin is made to be tough and durable, almost the opposite of a cell membrane.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

DNP produces the loss of the proton gradient (i.e., the energy of the proton gradient is dissipated in the form of heat instead to produce ATP)

Explanation:

2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) acts to shuttle H+ ions across cellular membranes, bypassing the ATP synthase used by mitochondria to generate ATP during cellular respiration. Since DNP is able to bypass ATP synthase, this compound uncouples the phosphorylation of ADP by the ATP synthase from the process of oxidation (i.e., transport of electrons). For example, in muscle cells, DNP may be used to shuttle calcium ions (Ca +) from mitochondrial stores, and free intracellular Ca+ ions are evidenced to produce muscle contraction.
