Why are proteins able to pass through the plasma membrane but lipids cannot? What is the substance that can freely diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane? Describe the structure of a generalized plasma membrane. Include the major components (lipids, proteins...

What are three types of starch?Starch:Starch is the type of energy source that consists of complex carbohydrates and is made up of sugar molecules (long-chain). The function of starch is to store the energy in plants and animals takes starch in the form of diet. Animals break down the ...
It is considered that insects represent 60 % of all species on the earth. Herbivorous insects that constitute half of insects (Schoonhoven et al.1998) are one of the major factors limiting plant growth and fitness. A two-third of all known herbivorous insects species are leaf-eating beetles ...
Moreover, soy proteins inhibit density reduction in the femur bones of an osteoporotic rat model16. SPI is composed almost exclusively of two major proteins, namely β-conglycinin and glycinin17, which have been shown to have anti-osteoporotic effects in an ovariectomized animal model15. Emerging ...
2 μg of purified snail mucus protein samples at a concentration of 1 mg/mL were loaded onto a single 10% SDS-PAGE stacking mini gel (#4561034, BioRad) band to remove lipids, detergents and salts. The single gel band containing all proteins was reduced with DTT, alkylated with iodo...
The Sankey diagram enables us to see the direct and major contributors to the process with respect to each impact category being examined and shows the overall contributors. In this study, the Sankey diagram examined four main impact categories: eutrophication, acidification, human toxicity, and the...
neoformans cells, grown under either melanizing or nonmelanizing conditions; triglycerides (TGs), sterol esters (SEs), and polyisoprenoids (PPs) were the major constituents. Although no quantitative differences were found between melanized and nonmelanized cells, melanin ghosts were relatively ...
Based on these analyzes, it was found that out of more than a dozen lipid classes present in the total lipids, only two classes of neutral lipids, i.e. major triacylglycerols and minor diacylglycerols contain VLCPUFAs. In polar lipids, VLCPUFAs were identified only in phosphatidic acid (PA...
