What is the function of the cholesterol molecules shown in transparency?

When you hear the word cholesterol, the first thing you probably think of is that it is bad. However, cholesterol is actually a very important component of cell membranes. Cholesterol molecules are made up of four rings of hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are hydrophobic and are found among the hydrophobic tails in the lipid bi-layer. Cholesterol molecules are important for maintaining the consistency of the cell membrane. They strengthen the membrane by preventing some small molecules from crossing it. Cholesterol molecules also keep the phosphoric tails from coming into contact and solidifying. This ensures that the cell membrane stays fluid and flexible

Describe the concentration gradient shown in the transparency?
The description of the concentration of a gradient shown in the transparency is a gradual change of solutes that are in a solution. This is a function of distance through the solution in biology.
How does endocytosis differ from the process shown in transparency?
Endocytosis is a process which allows a cell to engulf molecules in their entirety and surround those molecules in a membrane. Transport is when small molecules can actively transport through a cellular membrane and come out again.
What is the name that describe the specilized cell parts shown on the transparency?
You will need to look up what you see on the transparency and compare it to a drawing of a cell. Obviously we can not see this transparency and therefore can not help.
How does the surface of the epidermis shown in the transparency differ from the epidermis on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet?
The skin on the palm of the hand is firmer than the skin on the back of hand. It is firmer so you can grasp things.
The diagram represents a cell in water Formulas of molecules that can move freely across the cell membrane are shown Some molecules are located inside the cell and others are in the water outside?

Which of the molecules shown are saturated?
There are no molecules shown to me
What is the dominant stage of the cnidarian shown in the transparency?
Polyp
What is the pattern of heredity shown in the transparency?
incomplete dominance
In the model shown above the molecules which move large molecules into and out of the cell are known as?
Lipids The cell membrane itself moves things in and out of the cell

How does endocytosis differ from te process shown i n the transparency?
penis
Research has shown that the beneficial effects of exercise for hypertensives?
Lower blood pressure, normalize kidney function, decrease insulin secretion and increase in high density lipoprotein cholesterol
Which of the process shown in the transparency is anaerobic which of the process is aerobic?
Anaerobic respiration results from the presence of oxygen. Fuel molecules get broken down and release biochemical energy that comes into contact with the oxygen.
What type of passive transport is shown is the transparency?
Facilitated diffusion because carrier proteins are being used.
What is the range for the function graphed as shown?
As shown, the function has neither range nor domain.
