The correct answer is D. Pluto

Explanation

The characteristics of the celestial body described include the fact this does not clear objects in its orbital path, which occurs in dwarf planets or smaller celestial but not in regular planets. Therefore, none of the planets that make up the solar system fit this definition; this means Jupiter, Mars or Neptune are not correct options.

On the other hand, Pluto that was previously considered a planet is now classified as a dwarf planet due to the fact it does not clear objects in its orbital path due to its size and amount of matter. Additionally, this celestial body has a rocky surface but no rings as it occurs in planets such as Saturn, Uranus or Neptune. According to this, it is likely the celestial body described is Pluto as this is the only one that fits all the features included. So, the correct answer is D. Pluto

Hi!

It would be D, because Pluto is too small to clear objects in its path.

Which of the following experimental data would suggest the presence of a transmembrane protein? The primary sequence contains st
Zina [86]

Answer:

All of the other answer choices suggest the presence of a multipass transmembrane protein.

Explanation:

The primary sequence contains stretches of polar and nonpolar amino acids, suggesting an amphipathic design.

This one could be, because of the presence of polar an nonpolar aminoacids. The phospholipids membrane have the same construction.

The protein has windows of the primary sequence with positive hydropathy values separated by windows of the primary sequence with negative hydropathy values.

The same here, having pieces of positive and negative hidropathy can be a sign of transmembrane protein.

The protein isolates with the membrane fraction of the cell rather than the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell.

This is discribing you a transmembrane protein
