Answer #1

the membrane protein present in the cell membrane exist in various structures.

the distance between two membrane protein can be vary depends upon the protein and its role.

The distance measured in the protein which are present in the membrane integrated form is in nano meters.

Some proteins have distances in 28 nm.

some proteins have 2nm distance.

Signalling proteins are approx 40nm distance.

the protein moves laterally in the lipid membrane that's why the distance between proteins become changes.

5)Your cells can break down fats using fermentation or cellular respiration. a)true b)false 6])E. coli can do both fermentation and cellular respiration. You have two cultures of E. coli. You give them the same amount of food (glucose) and grow them at the same temperature. One culture is grown in open air, the other is placed in an oxygen free bag. The two cultures are growing at the same rate (producing new cells at the same rate). What is happening...
