Answer:

  • <u>Option-(B,C):</u>

Ether-linked lipids, and Membrane mono-layers,

Explanation:

  • <u>Archaeal cell membrane:</u>

The archaeal cell membrane is able to resist any severe environmental factors, as the cell is able to live in the most extreme conditions of temperature and are able to perform there various cellular function in such way just because of having a double protective structure in there cell wall or membrane. As the fatty acids present inside the membrane are in connection to the outer lipid molecules(lipids) present in the archaeal cell membrane.

Answer:

Ether-linked lipids

Explanation:

Most organisms found in the Archaea are found in extreme enviroments such as very high temperatures. They are generally called Thermophiles.

In order to survive high temperatures, their cell membrane membrane contains ether-linked lipids. This is because these lipids are Thermo-stable. and can not be easily degraded by the high temperatures.

They also have a limited permeability to proton even at high temperatures hence maintaining a viable proton motive force even at these extreme temperatures.

Why is the caloric value of some sugar alcohols less than 4 kcal/g? a. They cannot be transported into the mitochondria. b. None
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The sugar alcohols are the carbohydrates which are neither considered sugars nor alcohols but they partially resemble the structure of both of these sugars and alcohol.

The sugar alcohols are naturally present in the vegetables and fruits but they are also artificially synthesised like xylitol, lactitol, mannitol and others.

They are considered the alternative from of sugar but they provide less energy as compared to carbohydrates like they provide about 0-3 kcal per gram whereas sugar provides 4 kcal per gram.

This difference is due to the reason that they are not completely absorbed by the human body and also they are incompletely metabolized therefore provide less energy.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Describe the major differences in acute versus passive range of motion (rom) when distinguishing between an articular and nonart
Ierofanga [76]
The question should be about active vs passive range of motion.

In the active range of motion, the test is done by asking the patient to move their body themselves. In this case, the patient should use their muscle to move their body. If there is a restriction in this examination, it could be caused by the muscles or the joints, or the nervous system that used to contract the muscle.
In the passive range of motion, the test is done by the examiner moving the patient body. Since no muscle used, the test shouldn't be influenced much by the muscle. Then, if there is an articular joint issue, the restriction would be found in both passive and active ROM, but the nonarticular joint issue might only cause abnormality in the active ROM.
