What substance helps hold the phospholipid layers of cell membrane together and reduce the visoity of the membrane?

Cholesterol is the substance that helps hold the phospholipid layers of the cell membrane together while also reducing the viscosity of the membrane. It intersperses between the phospholipid molecules, providing stability and fluidity, which is crucial for membrane functionality. By preventing the fatty acid chains of phospholipids from packing too closely, cholesterol enhances membrane flexibility, allowing for better movement of proteins and lipids within the membrane.


What will happen if you hold your breath in 45 seconds?

If you hold your breath for 45 seconds, you may begin to feel discomfort due to the build-up of carbon dioxide in your lungs. Your body will trigger the urge to breathe, and it's important to listen to these signals to avoid the risk of passing out or damaging your lungs.


Which takes more energy removing an electron from an atom where the nucleus has a tight hold on its electrons or a weak hold on its electrons?

Removing an electron from an atom where the nucleus has a tight hold on its electrons requires more energy compared to one where the nucleus has a weak hold. This is because a stronger nuclear charge results in greater electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons, making it more difficult to overcome this force and remove an electron. Conversely, in atoms with a weak hold, less energy is needed to detach an electron due to the reduced attractive force.

What organ is located in the pleural cavity?

The pleural cavity, also known as the thoracic cavity, is where the lungs and the heart are located.


What membrane holds the lungs to the thoracic wall?

The lung is "held" to the thoracic wall by a vacuum or a "potential" space. The thoracic wall has a thin membrane attached to it called the parietal pleura. The lung also has this membrane attached to it but is called the visceral pleura. The two pleura touch each other and slide against each other but are not attached. There is no space between them in the same way there is no space between the sides of a balloon when you suck out the air. If you are stabbed in the chest, an opening is created and air rushes in the hole. The "potential" space becomes an actual space as the lung collapses (a condition called a pneumothorax).
