The cell membrane separates the intracellular environment from the extracellular environment outside of the cell. A phospholipid is composed of a phosphate group and a lipid. It is composed of a hydrophilic, polar phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
The structure of the bilayer is such that the tails are shielded from contact with water, creating a selectively-permeable barrier which will be impermeable to most hydrophilic molecules.
So, the answer is A) To maintain balance of water and nutrients in the cell.
Answer: Southern blot
Explanation:
The techniques of Southern blotting helps to identify specific sequences of DNA among two or more samples that have been collected from organisms to be investigated.
This biochemical process also involves electrophoresis and hybridization of DNA to obtain the right order of the nucleotide bases, as similar order of bases would infer COMMON ANCESTRY between the two organisms.
Answer:
Resistance
Explanation:
Once a bacteria gains resistance to an antibiotic, we will have to find another antibiotic to use.
Answer: Telophase
Explanation:
Mitosis is a process of division of the nucleus, which consists of the equal sharing of genetic material (DNA). This type of division occurs in somatic cells and the next step after mitosis is the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis), to form two genetically identical daughter cells.
First, it is necessary for the genetic material to be duplicated, so that each newly created cell receives the correct number of chromosomes (structure smade up of DNA). To separate these chromosomes, during <u>anaphase</u>, the chromosomes are anchored to the spindle microtubules and aligned at the metaphase plate (the center of the cell). The sister chromatids (two copies of a chromosome) are separated by the microtubules anchored to their kinetochores as they disassemble, heading toward the respective centrosomes (an organelle in which microtubules grow). Then, the microtubules pushing the centrosomes (and the set of chromosomes associated with them) toward opposite ends of the cell. Since it is necessary for the chromosomes to go to the poles of the cell, new cells are formed. So in this step, <u>it is necessary that the nuclear envelope is not present (otherwise, the nucleus could not divide).</u>
During <u>telophase</u>, microtubules not attached to kinetochores continue to elongate, further stretching the cell. The sister chromosomes are each associated with one of the poles, and as <u>the division of the nucleus is completed, the nuclear envelope reforms around both chromosome sets</u>,<u> using fragments of the nuclear envelope of the original cell.</u> The chromosomes are decondensed back into chromatin and only the cytokineses remain.
The fluorophore labels proteins that are part of the nuclear membrane and as telophase forms back, these proteins are expressed more. So, since the proteins of the nuclear envolope are labeled with a green fluoroforum, the green fluorescence would be most intense during telophase. Therefore there will be more intensity of green color compared to anaphase where the nuclear membrane is disintegrated.
What is waste water treatment ?
“The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment.”
