Biology

Andrews [41]3 years ago

Answer:

B i hope this help

Explanation:

The cell membrane consists primarily of a thin layer of phospholipids which spontaneously arrange so that the hydrophobic "tail" regions are shielded from the surrounding polar fluid, causing the more hydrophilic "head" regions to associate with the cytosolic and extracellular faces of the resulting bilayer. This forms a continuous, spherical lipid bilayer approximately 7 nm thick, barely discernible with a transmission electron microscope.

The arrangement of hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads of the lipid bilayer prevent polar solutes (e.g. amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and ions) from diffusing across the membrane, but generally allows for the passive diffusion of hydrophobic molecules. This affords the cell the ability to control the movement of these substances via transmembrane protein complexes such as pores and gates.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is RNA polymerase does not require a primer to add new nucleotides.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase is an important enzyme of transcription process that deals with the formation of mRNA from DNA. unlike DNA replication, transcription process does not require any RNA primer to carry out the synthesis of mRNA in 5'→3" direction.

   RNA polymerase use coding strand of DNA molecule as a template to synthesize new mRNA molecule from that parental DNA molecule.

Do ionic bonds give electrons?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

In ionic bonds, there is a transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Because of the transfer of electrons, the atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged, while the atoms that lose electrons will be positively charged. [1] If the atom has an additional electron, then the atom becomes a negative ion, known as anion. Meanwhile, if the atom loses electrons, then the atom becomes a positive ion or cation. [2] Because of the difference in charge between ions (positive ions and negative ions), the positive and negative ions will attract each other by electrostatic forces. This event is the basis of ionic bonding.
