depends on the type of lipids Membrane rich in unsaturated fatty acids are more fluid that those rich in saturated fatty acids Membranes must be fluid to work properly; they are usually about as fluid as salad oil. Cholesterol acts as a temp buffer At warm temp(such as 37*C)‚ cholesterol restrains movement of phospholipids At cool temp‚ it maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing (don’t want cholesterol in bloodstream).

| Types Of Gears | Gear Type | Description | Photo | Spur Gears | Spur gears are by far the most common type of gear and with the exceptions of the "cog" the type of gear that has been around the longest. Spur gears have teeth that run perpendicular to the face of the gear. | | Helical Gears | Helical gears are very similar to spur gears except the teeth are not perpendicular to the face. The teeth are at an angle to the face giving helical gears more tooth contact in the same area. Helical

1. For an 18-inch pipeline designed for 150‚000 barrels per day‚ what is the short-run cost per barrel (per thousand miles) of transporting crude oil if the throughput is (a) 50‚000 barrels per day (b) 100‚000 barrels per day (c) 150‚000 barrels per day? Using chart 7‚ a) Cost of transporting 50‚000 barrels would be 30 cents. b) Cost of transporting 100‚000 barrels would be 17 cents. c) Cost of transporting 150‚000 barrels would 16 cents. 2.

eukaryotic cells. This means that the mitochondria and chloroplasts were prokaryotic cells‚ which entered the eukaryotic cells and co-existed through endosymbiosis. There are many organelles inside a eukaryote cell‚ each performing dedicated functions. For example‚ the nucleus‚ this is a membrane bound structure containing DNA and other genetic information. The mitochondria reserve and convert energy into form usable by the cell. They are known as the power houses of cells. The plasma membrane

Necessary minerals are from time to time divided up into major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). These two groups of minerals are equably valuable; however trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts than major minerals. A well-adjusted diet frequently provides all of the
