You are working on a team that is designing a new drug. For this drug to work, it must enter the cytoplasm of specific target ce

Which of the following would be a factor that determines whether the molecule selectively enters the target cells? the similarity of the drug molecule to other molecules that are transported into the target cells the phospholipid composition of the target cells’ plasma membrane the nonpolar, hydrophobic nature of the drug molecule the concentration of the drug molecule that is transported in the blood

Answer:

the similarity of the drug molecule to other molecules that are transported into the target cells

Explanation:

Selective transport of the substance occurs when the plasma membrane allows only selective substances to pass through it while inhibiting the transport of other molecules. Charge, polarity, size of the substances to be transported and the presence /absence of carriers and channels in the plasma membrane are some of the factors that determine which substance would cross the plasma membrane.

If a drug is required to enter the cytoplasm of the target cell, it should be similar to the other substances that can enter the cell. The drug should have nearly identical charge, polarity, structure, size, etc. as that of the permitted substances to enter the cell. For example, a drug similar to glucose can enter the cells that have Glut transporters in their plasma membrane.

What happens when a photon of light hits photosystem II?
Alexandra [31]
The answer is most likely to be D, because when the photon hits an electron within a molecule of chlorophyl, the energy from the light excites an electron from its normal energy level to an excited energy level!

The "endosymbiotic hypothesis" is a concept that explains _____. How eukaryotic cells might have evolved mitochondria and chloro
IrinaK [193]

The endosymbiotic hypothesis explains that how eukaryotic cells might have evolved chloroplasts and mitochondria within their cells.  

The endosymbiotic hypothesis states that the eukaryotes have developed via a procedure whereby distinct kinds of free-living prokaryotes became assimilated within the bigger prokaryotic cells and ultimately evolved into chloroplasts, mitochondria, and various other organelles.

lesya [120]

Even though New Zealand has a smaller population than Australia, it has a greater population density because it covers a much smaller area. Australia’s population is approximately five times larger than New Zealand’s while the area Australia covers is approximately 30 times larger than the area New Zealand covers.

The membranes of both b cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how
iragen [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>when the membranes are fused, the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell .</h2>

Explanation:

Cell membrane is composed of phospholipid bilayer . Cell membrane is hydrophilic at the surface of outside of the cell and inside surface of the cell thus both surface of cell membrane is a hydrophilic . Interiorly cell membrane is hydrophobic or nonpolar region because membrane composed of long fatty acid chain interiorly . Inner surface of cell membrane have no contact with water or polar molecules . When membrane binds to each other then the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell , while nonpolar parts of cell avoid water and create bilayer phospholipid where hydrophobic tails are in between the hydrophilic heads .
