Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements.which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements.the framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.the diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.the kinky tails of some proteins keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together.membranes include a mosaic, or mix, of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
