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 botanist has discovered a new plant species and is trying to classify the plant. Its seed has one cotyledon, it has six flower
lana66690 [7]

The best suited group for the mentioned plant is Angiosperms and monocot.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

As mentioned the seed of the plant has one cotyledon and the specific name for these type of plants whose seeds has one cotyledon is called Monocot, Suppose if the seed of the plant has two seeds, It is called dicot.

Hence we can conclude that the mentioned plant comes under monocot and not dicot.  On the other hand, Angiosperms refers to the plants that has flowers with it and gymnosperms usually includes plants without flowers and hence we can classify the plant as Angiosperm and monocot.

3. In what possible scenario would the female birds evolve to having the singing trait? (5 points)
Iteru [2.4K]

The possible scenario for singing traits in female birds will be about 26% in Generation 4 species

Explanation:

Singing trait have been common among both male and female birds and it is an ancestral traits. However, singing has been more sex-specific with male birds. Reasons for which birds generally sing are:

  • To attract the mates
  • While making nests and laying eggs
  • For the young birds to recognize their parents

However, various studies prove that the singing trait in female birds is reducing with increase in non-singing female birds over the years due to evolutionary course.
