Ответ:
C. They are relatively rigid structures.
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer mainly composed of amphipathic phospholipids, which acts as a barrier to separate the cytoplasm from the extracellular environment. This barrier is considered a fluid combination of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. The fluid mosaic model states that the plasma membrane is a mosaic of lipids (especially phospholipids and cholesterol), as well as proteins and carbohydrates (glycolipids and glycoproteins) that are constantly moving. This fluidity alters the rotation and diffusion of proteins and other components within the plasma membrane, thereby affecting their functions. Membrane fluidity has been experimentally demonstrated by a variety of techniques. (e.g., X-ray diffraction, labeling techniques, calorimetry, etc).
Ответ:
The correct answer will be option-C
Explanation:
The CsCl gradient centrifugation in Meselson Stahl experiments is done to separate the bands of the DNA containing isotopes on the basis of difference in the density.
In the experiment, bacterial cultures were grown in the medium of 15N and 14N but if we repeat the experiment with P32 and P31 instead of 15N and 14N and centrifugation is performed then the banding pattern will be the same as of the previous experiment as the method of the replication is same that is semi-conservative.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
