Answer:

(a) Carbohydrates are the structures which add to the fluidity of the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The principle components of plasma membrane are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates which are attached to some proteins and lipids. Membrane fluidity means how much viscous is the lipid bilayer of cell membrane? The membrane phospholipids absorbs fatty acids of different lengths and saturation. When there is amore distance between phospholipids fluidity increases.Another one is the temperature and cholesterol. So these are the three factors which affects the fluidity of the membrane. The rate of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids decides the fluidity of the membrane at cold temperatures. Cholesterol take up the tasks as buffer blocking the lower temperatures from fluidity inhibition and blocking higher temperatures from increasing of fluidity.

Answer:

This outcome in a hybrid zone is known as <u><em>fusion</em></u>.

Explanation:

In the field of biology, hybrid zone can be described as the area where closely-related species can interbreed and produce hybrid organisms. Reinforcement can be described as the phenomenon by which a hybrid zone develops between full species barriers. Hybrid speciation can be described as the phenomenon by which a new species forms as the direct result of mating between members of two existing species.

Why is the phrase food web more accurate than food chain when describing how energy and materials moves through trophic levels?

Elenna [48]

Answer:Food chains make it easier to visualize trophic levels, or how energy moves through the ecosystem. However, in reality, animals can have more than one food source, and the relationships between different organisms are much more complex. This is why webs are considered to be more realistic than simple food chains.
