What type of membrane junction would you expect to be most plentiful in the bladder? Why?
Since the urinary bladder changes size as a result of repetitive
filling and emptying,one would expect it to be lining by a
transitional epithelium.Transitional epithelia can withstand
stretching much better than other types of epithelia.Tight
junctions consist of weblike strands of transmembrane proteins that
fuse the outer surfaces of adjacent plasma membranes together to
seal off passageways between adjacent cells.Cells of epithelial
tissues that line the stomach, intestines,and urinary bladder have
many tight junctions to retard the passage of substances between
cells and prevent the contents of these organs from leaking into
the blood or surrounding tissues.
What type of membrane junction would you expect to be most plentiful in the bladder? Why?
Membrane fluidity for bacteria is critical. What type of fatty acids would you expect bacteria to synthesize as growth temperature increases? Why type of fatty acids would you expect bacteria to synthesize as growth temperature decreases? Why cannot bacteria simply synthesize the same type of fatty acids regardless of temperature?
1) What types of amino acids would you expect to find in the membrane-spanning region(s) of a membrane protein? Why? 2) What is the connection between “surface area-to-volume ratio” and cell size? Why are unicellular organisms much more limited by this (in general terms, why do they have to be small?)? 3) What is the difference between general transcription factors and transcriptional regulators? If you compared one of each type, which would you expect to be more abundant in...

What difference do you notice? MAKE THE CONNECTION 1. Why, when a surgeon is operating on the kidney, is the surgery performed from the side posterior part of the abdomen and not through the anterior abdominal wall 2. Kidney stones are usually...
what about the nucleosides? how could it cross the membrane? Q6: How would you expect nucleosides and steroids to cross the plasma membrane? And what are the requirements for compounds to pass through the membrane [20% Points] plasma * The el membrane is Selectively permeable; hydrophobic molecules and Small polar molecules can diffuse through the lipid Layer, but ions and Larg polar molecules Cannot. Integral membrane proteins enable ians and lary polar molecules to pass through by passive or active...
What are the most prominent absorption lines you would expect to find in the spectrum of a star with a surface temperature of (a) 35,000 K, (b) 2800 K, and (c) 5800 K (like the Sun?) Briefly describe why these stars have such different spectra even though they have essentially the same chemical composition.

4. A certain protein is known to be embedded within a cell membrane. What type of amino acids would you expect this protein to contain on its surface and why? 5. Structural proteins form the basis for hair and nails and have a high cysteine content. Cysteine side groups (-CH2SH) can react with each other to form disulfide bridge. What type of bonding holds the bridge together? Why is this interaction important for the function of structural proteins? Hemoglobin is...
