Oxygen and carbon dioxide move easily through most areas of cell membranes because they are soluble in what?

Plasma?


What Transport vehicles for most lipids are called?

Lipoproteins.


What substance is most likely to passively diffuse across the plasma membrane by dissolving in the membrane?

Nonpolar molecules like lipid-soluble substances (e.g., steroid hormones, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) are most likely to passively diffuse across the plasma membrane by dissolving in the lipid bilayer. This type of diffusion does not require a specific transport protein and can occur directly through the phospholipid bilayer due to the molecules' hydrophobic nature.


Why is an increase in carbon dioxide and not the decrease in oxygen in blood a powerful respiratory stimulant?

Yes. It is so. Deficiency of oxygen do not have as powerful stimulus for breathing. Carbon bi oxide is very much soluble in plasma water. In normal temperature and pressure about 900 mi of carbon bi oxide is soluble in water. Oxygen is sparingly soluble. Only about 4 ml/liter of oxygen is dissolved in water. So the respiratory center would recognize slight change in concentration of carbon bi oxide as it changes the pH of plasma also. As it is soluble in plasma it can readily enter the respiratory center cells and stimulate the center. Increase in carbon bi oxide and decrease in oxygen go hand in hand. The volume of oxygen consumed is exactly equal to the carbon bi oxide. So Nature has selected more than 200 times soluble carbon bi oxide as aindicatoras against sparingly soluble oxygen.

What is a type of lipoprotein?

cholesterol (lipid) needs to be attached to protein to be moved around so the body forms lipoproteins (lipids+proteins).there are two types of lipoproteins:HDL:high density lipoproteins or "good" cholesterol which helps remove LDL from the bloodLDL:low density lipoproteins or "bad" cholesterol which contributes to plaque in the arteries

Which metal hydroxide is most soluble in water?

The hydroxide of Lithium is most soluble but all the hydroxides of alkali metals are completely soluble in water.


Transport vesicles in the blood for most lipids are called?

Chylomicrons transport dietary lipids, such as triglycerides, while very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) transport endogenously synthesized lipids, also mainly triglycerides from the liver.
