High-density lipoproteins (HDL) refer to macromolecular complexes made up of lipids and that have the function of transporting dietary lipids to the liver.

<h3>What are lipoproteins?</h3>

They are macromolecules whose function is to package insoluble lipids in the aqueous medium of plasma and transport them from the intestine and liver to peripheral tissues and, from these, return cholesterol to the liver for elimination from the body.

<h3>Characteristics of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL)</h3>

  • They are synthesized and secreted by the liver and to a lesser extent by the intestine.

  • They transport cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver, this is known as “Reverse Cholesterol Transport”.

Therefore, we can conclude that lipoproteins are macromolecules whose function is to transport lipid molecules from one organ to another in the aqueous medium of plasma.

The map shows areas of upwelling climate scientist predict that upwelling may intensify along the western coast of the United St
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Upwelling usually refers to the rising up of denser, deep-sea cold water to the surface of the ocean, replacing the less dense warm air.

It takes place both near the coastal areas and in the broad open ocean.

The deeper cold water is highly rich in the valuable nutrients, and as they rise up they carry these nutrients and distribute them in the upper region of the ocean water body. The marine organisms are directly dependent on these nutrients, thereby helps in biological productivity.

Thus, the intense upwelling occurring in a particular area in the ocean signifies the abundance of marine species.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

What type of membrane proteins are integral proteins that move ions or molecules across plasma membrane?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Channel proteins and Carrier proteins

Explanation:

These are type of membrane proteins that transcend the entire length of  phosphoslipid  bi- layer  in the plasma membrane.They facilitate the movement of ions  and molecules across  the walls of the plasma membranes.

Generally, substances like glucose, amino acids, are too large to pass through the phopholipid bilayers. Likewise ions of  potassium, sodium calcium, because of their polarities can not pass through either. They are ferried across the phospholipid by  group of protein structures called channel proteins. Some are also transported across by carrier  proteins.  The process by which these protein structures  aided the  diffusion of substances across the phospholipid bilayer is called Facilitated diffusion.

Channel proteins are pores, that are filled with water molecules with the entrance  well gated.  That is the entrance  is controlled by part in the inner structure  of the protein  which can open or close the pores  like a gate to control the movement of ions across it. e.g Sodium channels are gated for  movement  of sodium ions by voltage or ligands(chemicals) during  nervous  transmission to elicits action potential. Like wise Potassium channels allow  diffusion of potassium ions across the phospholipid bilayers. it gates are shut when sodium channels are open; this  regulate ion exchange.

Their structures are well fixed in shape , specific  to the substance or ions being  transported;and the rate of diffusion  depends on  the like hood of opening of the gate or closure.

Carrier molecules  also in the membranes  do not have a fixed shape, and their transport  direction is determined by the direction of concentration gradients. Thus they can flip on either sides of the membranes to aid diffusion across. Their movement can  be both passive and active, and the rates  of diffusion depends on the number of available carrier proteins in the membrane. They are also specific to the ions they transport.And are not gated,

Therefore these two membrane integral  proteins  facilitate movements of substances across the phospholipild bilayers
