What are the four characteristics that distinguish mediated from non-mediated transport? How is triglyceride formed by the process of dehydration? Explain. What is the hydrophobic effect? Please provide your answer in the context of drug-target interactions. ...
1. What purpose does salt bridge serve in a voltaic cell? 2. Solutions in Half-Cells? 3. How do you make electrolytic cells react? Define the word salt and describe its characteristics and its uses. What is the wave function? What is the function of the sodium nitrite in ago dye synth...
that will not be found in the essential oil if the plant is aromatic, as well as traces of hydrophobic molecules characteristic of essential oils (between 0.05 and 0.5%) such as monoterpenes, terpenic esters and sesquiterpenes. This composition gives hydrosols the scent and properties of the ...
Some of the unique characteristics that initially drew the attention of researchers to this yeast are its capacity to accumulate lipids, its dimorphism (with both yeast and pseudo-hyphae forms) [10,12], and its ability to degrade hydrophobic carbon sources (fatty acids, triglycerides, alkanes, ...
Based on these characteristics, chromatin is considered ‘liquid-like’ rather than a solid-like substance: a structure that is absent of crystal-like long-range translational order. Indeed, such liquid-like chromatin condensates were observed in vitro [22]. However, a more recent report argues ...
There is evidence that TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels can form heterodimers and can associate with other proteins that could alter their characteristics [124,125]. TASK-1/TASK-3 currents are sensitive to pH, which would also explain the CB response to acidosis. TASK-1/TASK-3 is also sensitive...
On the other hand, elastomers need to be charged to increase their mechanical properties, and a major problem is that of obtaining homogeneous dispersions; commercial hydrophilic silica particles are already used as charges, but they are poorly dispersed in hydrophobic matrices. Therefore, preliminary...
This is because exposure of the hydrophobic lipid tails to water is energetically expensive and thus unfavorable. The hydrophilic lipid head groups, which are either polar or charged, repel each other and are pulled together due to hydrophobicity of the phospholipid tails to prevent water molecules ...
How do semi-permeable membranes and the processes of diffusion and osmosis contribute to homeostasis in cells? What are the characteristics of active transport in osmosis? Describe how cells transport materials across their membranes by the following methods...
Where is the emulsifier located and what does it do? What type of molecular characteristics make that possible? (Ionic? Polar? Hydrophobic? Hydrophilic? A combination?) Which of the following molecules demonstrate dual solubility characteristics? a) sterols only b) proteins only c) phospholipids onl...
