What does the membrane protein do?
It acts as a facilitator to allow water-soluble subtances to pass through the cell membrane
Location of synovial?
Synovial fluid is found in the joint capsule and acts as a lubricant for articulating surfaces.
What liquid is contained in the bursa sac?
Each sac contains a small amount of synovial fluid, a clear liquid that acts as a lubricant.
Gramicidin is an antibiotic that increases the permeability of bacterial cell walls to inorganic ions?
it acts by active transport
Which part allows or prevents substances to go into and out of the cell?
The cell membrane acts as the barrier and transport proteins present in the membrane, such as globular proteins, transport molecules across cell membranes.
What does the membrane protein do?

What is it when a member of the military acts as a facilitator whos aim is to guide the local parties toward an agreement?
The mediation process takes place when a member of the military acts as a facilitator.
Which has less friction a dry road or a wet road?
A wet road has less friction since the water acts as a lubricant.
Which property of water allows it to act as a transport medium?
Water acts as a very effective transport medium inside plants and living things. It is due to water's hydrogen bond that makes water molecules cohesive (stick together).
Why are stopping distances for breaking cars increased on wet roads?
The wet road surface has less friction as the water interacts with the rubber and acts somewhat like a lubricant
The following statement military member acts as a facilitator who aims to guide the local parties toward an agreement is best described as what?
mediation
What acts as a lubricant that permits neural impulses to speedy flow?
Correct fluid intake? If water is a good conductor of electricity, surely dehydration has a delay on the firing of synapses in the brain.
Why do you easily slip on rainy day?
on a rainy day, the rain water forms a layer on the road. it acts as a lubricant which reduces friction. due to less friction, we slip on a rainy day.
Location of synovial?
Synovial fluid is found in the joint capsule and acts as a lubricant for articulating surfaces.
Is it common for navel pearcings to fall out in the water?
Well if the jewellery is tight then the piece shouldn't fall out. However as for the jewellery becoming loose in water yes, it's common. The water softens the lymphatic discharge and this acts as a lubricant and the jewellery will move freely in the piercing.
Why is such a large portion of your body weight water?
Water, known as the the molecule H20 (two parts hydrogen with one part oxygen) is a necessary component for virtually every type of cell in the human body. It is used to transport nutrients, remove cellular waste, and acts as a lubricant for many cell functions, such as muscles and the intestinal tract. Many cells will fail to work without sufficient amounts of water, while other cells will actually die without a supply of water.
Which household items can lubricate metal best?
Water acts as a good lubricate but the disadvantage is that it can cause steel to rust and can evaporate quickly. Vegatable Oil is a good lubricant. As an alternative, melted butter. Graphite (aka lead) of a pencil is a good lubricant for certain applications. This is used in locks (such as on your door) to lubricate the tumblers.
