Answer: Add more of the proteins to the plasma membrane and measure the rate of the particle movement.

Explanation:

<u>A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to or associated with the membrane of a cell or organelle.</u> Membrane proteins can be grouped into two groups based on the way they associate with the membrane.:

  • Integral membrane proteins are permanently rooted within the plasma membrane. They perform many important functions; these include the transport of molecules across the membrane.
  • Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that are only temporarily associated with the membrane. They can be easily removed, allowing them to become involved in cellular communication.

<u>A channel protein is an embedded protein found the cell membrane which provides a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions</u>. They have a size which excludes all but the specific molecules which move from an area of high concentration to an area with a lower concentration.

To determine if the new membrane protein is a channel protein involved in membrane transport, an experiment could be made by adding more of the proteins to the plasma membrane and measure the rate of the particle movement. If the channel is involved, then the rate will be faster because there are more channels that make the movement faster.

Answer:

Explanation:The investigation is aimed at understanding

1. how molecular size affects movement through a membrane.

Therefore

2.Add more of the proteins to the plasma membrane.

Then measure the rate of the particle movement

A large volume of blood is transfused to a person whose baroreceptor blood pressure control system is not functioning. Arterial
Ghella [55]

Answer:  The correct answer is :  - 2

Explanation:  Baroreceptors are pressure receptors. The normal set point is 100 nnHg, which means that when the value is 160 mmHg the gain is 60, when the system is running the value is 120 mmHg that is still above 20 mmHg of the normal set point that It is 100 mmHg. Taking every 20 as a unit, the value of 20 above continues to be 40 below 160 when the system did not work, which equals - 2 which is equal to 40 = 2 (20).

At the end of _____ and cytokinesis there are four haploid cells. At the end of _____ and cytokinesis there are four haploid cel
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

At the end of<u> telophase II </u>and cytokinesis, there are four haploid cells.cells.

Explanation:

During telophase II the sister chromosomes separate from each other and move to the opposite ends of the cell. Once that the chromosomes are in the opposite ends, the cytokinesis starts, this is the division of the cytoplasm that will give two daughter haploid cells.

We have to remember that there will be four haploid cells because there are two cells, which are the result of meiosis I, that will go into meiosis II to give these four daughters haploid cells. Also, the phases in meiosis I and II are very similar. Both of them have prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Drag labels at left into the appropriate targets on the right to complete this concept map about oxidative phosphorylation
almond37 [142]

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).
