Neutral lipids are normally associated with which purpose energy storage. Neutral lipids are hydrophobic molecules lacking charged groups which are produced by the dehydration synthesis of one or more fatty acids with an alcohol like glycerol. The examples of neutral lipids are triacylglycerols or sterol esters. Those lipids cannot be incorporated into biomembranes, so they are “packed” in structures called lipid particles (lipid droplets). Upon requirement storage lipids are mobilized from this compartment and degradation products serve as energy sources and/or building blocks for membrane formation.

What type of fertilization requires a great excess of egg and sperm gametes because most are wasted?

vivado [14]

b.internal fertilization

Sexual reproduction provides genetic variation because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organism. Sexual reproduction involves meiosis which is the process of a cell doubling its DNA, shuffling its genes and then dividing the shuffled DNA among four cells.Each resulting cell, or gamete from meiosis has only half the amount of DNA as the parent cell. So in order to form a new organism, two gametes, sperm and egg, must fuse, further mixing the genes to produce more genetic variation.

A red blood cell with an osmolarity of 300 mOsM (non-penetrating solutes) swells but does not lyse when placed in a 300 mOsM sol

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

See below for answer

Explanation:

A. 200 mOsM NaCl

This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.

B. 400 mOsM urea

This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.

C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl

This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.

D. 300 mOsM urea

The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.

Maltose starch saliva ????

o-na [289]

"In the first digestive reaction of starch, a disaccharide called maltose is produced. Maltose consists of two glucose molecules joined together. In humans, the production of maltose from starch occurs within the mouth in a reaction catalyzed by amylase, an enzyme found in human saliva.". I looked it up
