Biology

Answer:

Option-B, C and E

Explanation:

Archaebacteria are a group of prokaryotes which can survive the extreme conditions. The archaebacteria which can survive very high temperature are called hyperthermophiles. The hyperthermophilic bacteria can survive temperature range between 70 t 125 °C observed in hydrothermal vents.

The archaea bacteria can withstand the high temperature as their membrane is adaptive. The membrane of the archaea is more stable due to the ether linkage which makes carbon less chemically reactive. The phospholipids possess a monolayer which decreases the layer fluidity and thus the unwanted movement of molecules.

The archaea also contain cyclopentane rings in the ester-linked phospholipids which allows tight pacing of the molecules which decrease the movement of solute into and out of the cell.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

Compare and contrast endocytosis and exocytosis.<br><br> please help!!!
Dmitry [639]
Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell. Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell. The main similarity is that both exocytosis and endocytosis are involved in transporting big molecules across the membrane using a vesicle and needs energy. The basic differences are that : 1) Endocytosis brings materials to the inside of the cell while exocytosis takes them out. Exocytosis, on the other hand, is described as the process of fusing vesicles with the plasma membrane to release their contents to the external environment of the cell.

What is the total magnification for each lens setting on a microscope with 15x ocular and 4x 10x
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1) 60x; 2) 150x

Explanation:

Total magnification = Power of the Ocular X Power of the objective

Power of Ocular = 15x

Power of Objective = 4x ; 10x

1)Total magnification = 15 X 4 = 60x

2)Total magnification = 15 X 10 = 150x
