Which of the following is a principle of the fluid mosaic model of cell membrane structure? a. Phospholipids consist of a polar

head and a nonpolar tail made of three fatty acid chains. b. The lipid bilayer is a solid at body temperature, thus protecting the cell. c. All proteins associated with the cell membrane are contained in a fluid layer on the outside of the cell. d. Phospholipids form a bilayer that is largely impermeable to water-soluble molecules.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "The lipid bilayer is a solid at body temperature, thus protecting the cell".

Explanation:

The fluid mosaic model describes the fluid character of the cell's membrane structure as a dynamic arrangement of components that include phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates. One of the principles of the fluid mosaic model is that the lipid bilayer that comprises the cell's membrane is solid at body temperature, thus it functions as a protective mechanism for the cell. The higher the temperature, the more fluid the cell membrane is.

You are incorrect. It is d: Phospholipids form a bilayer that is largely impermeable to water-soluble molecules.

Which of the following phenomena is a consequence of Independent Assortment? 1. Pure breeding plants, when mated with each other
Natalka [10]

Answer: The answer is that the phenotypic ratio among phenotypes produced from an F1 X F1 dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1.

Explanation:

Independent assortment of genes explains how alleles on different chromosomes arrange independently of one another during gamete formation.

So, a dihybrid cross involving TWO characters (e.g Seed color & seed shape) would have its respective alleles DISTRIBUTED whether dominant or recessive, for crossing to occur and yield varying proportion of offspring in the well spread ratio of 9:3:3:1; making it a consequence of independent assortment of genes

The combining form that refers to the male gland that encircles the upper end of the urethra is:
AleksandrR [38]
The answer to this question would be: prostate glands

The term upper end is a bit ambiguous and it should be better to call it the proximal end of the urethra. The upper ends of the urethra, near the bladder, there is an organ called prostate. The prostate is a gland that only found in males as its function was to produce seminal fluid, make it a bit alkali.

G protein‑coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are two basic receptor types by which cells transduce s
elena-s [515]
<h2>GPCRs,RTKs</h2>

Explanation:

G Protein Coupled Receptors(GPCRs) are more common and found in almost all eukaryotes whereas Receptor Tyrosine Kinases(RTKs) are second largest family of receptors that relay signal from cell surface to the interior

  1. G protein coupled receptors(GPCRs) interacts with the ligand activated GPCR and phosphorylates its intracellular domain.This process of phosphorylation can terminate signal or desensitize receptor
  2. Autophosphorylation of receptor can initiate signal in case of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases(RTKs);Autophosphorylation is a feature of RTKs in which receptor dimerization activates intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity by which they phosphorylate its own tyrosine residue on cytosolic phase
  3. Seven transmembrane helices can be seen in case of G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs);transmembrane protein of it consists of single polypeptide and spans the membrane 7 times
  4. Insulin receptor is a part of Insulin Signalling which comes under RTKs;Insulin receptor always exist in case of dimeric form
  5. Epinephrine receptor is an example of GPCRs;Epinephrine is an endocrine hormones produced in stress condition
  6. Transmembrane protein of GPCR activates G protein,activated G protein binds with effector enzyme and activate it;effector enzyme further can produce or destroy secondary messenger
