Fat absorption through the plasma membrane of epithelial cells ________.

Biology
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C) occurs by simple diffusion because lipids are able to penetrate the hydrophobic fatty acid tails within the plasma membrane

Explanation:

After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can. Free fatty acids and monogycerids can just diffuse across the plasma membrane because of their nonpolar nature.

 Some absorption (e.g. for cholesterol) may be facilitated by specific transport proteins.

How would signaling be affected if a mutation caused a g protein to replace gdp with gtp on its own without needing to be activa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

This mutation will produce a conformational change capable of maintaining the receptor continuously in its activated mode

Explanation:

G proteins are inactive when guanosine diphosphate (GDP) is bound, while they are active when guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is bound

3. Two black rabbits thought to be homozygous for coat colour were mated and produced a litter that contained all black babies.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Cross each to a rabbit who you know is homozygous - i.e. a white rabbit. If there are any white offspring you know this is the heterozygote.

Explanation:

Heterozygous individuals are those with 2 different alleles of a gene. Homozygous individuals have have 2 alleles that are the same.

Imagine the allele for coat color is B black, or b white. If you cross 2 individuals who are homozygous for the black gene (BB), they would only produce black rabbits in the F1 (BB). If you cross the F1, they could only produce BB rabbits in the F2.

However, if you cross a heterozygous rabbit with a homozygous black rabbit (Bb x BB), you would get either BB or Bb rabbits in the F1. However, intercrossing them could produce BB, Bb, or bb rabbits. Therefore, white rabbits can be produced.

You know that white rabbits are bb. So if you are unsure about the genotype of the black rabbit, you can cross it with a white rabbit (either BB x bb or Bb x bb). If any white rabbits appear in the F1, you know there must be a b allele in the black rabbit genotype, so that rabbit must be heterozygous.
