Answer:

The study island answer is "Remediating the mines keeps the contaminants from entering a watershed."

Which of the following statements about phospholipids is TRUE? A Option A: Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol b
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol backbone is bonded to a small polar group.

Explanation:

Phospholipid is a unique form of lipid. The  bonding of the glycerol backbone to the polar phosphate group makes phospholipid to have dual solubility unlike general triglycerides.

 

The polar head is said to be hydrophillic that is <u>water loving,</u> while the two carbon chains  that  retained lipid features are hydrophobic <u>water hating.</u>

Therefore if a phopholipid is placed in water, in relation  to its functions as component of cell membrane, it forms a bi-layer in which the water loving portion hydrophilic head points into the surrounding watery medium, while the hydrophobic layer points inwards far away from the watery medium into the internal cellular  layer to form an impermeable barrier to hydrophilic (polar) substances.

This forms the basis of   the  phospholipd  bilayer  of the  cell membrane. And it  controls the permeability of the cell membrane to  influx  substances  into the cells.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

c. The harmless bacteria had been transformed.  

Explanation:

Fredrick Griffith carried out the first experiment that showed bacteria can get DNA by transformation in 1928.

He used two different strains of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae a)type-III-S or smooth strain-Covered by a protective polysaccharide capsule hence lethal

b) type II-R or rough strain-Lacked the polysaccharide hence non-lethal

In his experiment he observed heat killed Type-III-S strain was not able to kill the mice. However, when its remains was added with rough strain then the blend was able to kill the mice.

When he collected blood  from the dead mice it had live strains of both smooth and rough type.

He came to a conclusion that non-lethal type II-R strain was transformed into lethal type II-S strain by a "transforming principle"  that was supposed to be the part of dead III-S strain bacteria.

The navel is located in the ________ region of the abdominopelvic cavity.
Sholpan [36]

The abdominopelvic is composed of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. This cavity contains the organs such as liver, stomach, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney and most of the intestines along with the internal reproductive organs and urinary tract. The navel is located in the umbilical region of the abdominopelvic cavity.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'umbilical region'.
