A phospholipid bilayer with equal amounts of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids displays a specific permeability to glucose. What effect will increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in the bilayer have on the membrane's permeability to glucose?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Permeability to glucose will increase.

  2. Permeability to glucose will decrease.

  3. Permeability to glucose will stay the same.

  4. Permeability will decrease initially then increase as the bilayer fills with glucose.

In an adaptive radiation, numerous related lineages arise in a relatively short time and evolve in many different directions as they adapt to different habitats or ways of life. Radiation, rather than directional trends, is perhaps the most common pattern of long-term evolution. Which statements is not true for adaptive radiation?

CCR5 that plays a role in inflammatory response. Unfortunately, this protein is also a key to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The virus binds to a loop of the CCR5 protein and then enters the cell. Some people have an allele called Δ32 at the CCR5 locus in which 32 bp are deleted. The missing part of the gene codes for the loop in the protein to which the virus attaches. Which statements is true for CCR5?
