Which combination describes the plasma membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
lilavasa [31]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer</u>: C) Hydrophobic interior, hydrophilic exterior

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>plasma membrane</em> of the cell defines its boundary and separates its internal components from the external environment.
  • The basic components of the plasma membrane include phospholipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol.
  • The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, with <em>hydrophobic</em> tails of the phospholipid projecting <em>inwards</em> and the <em>hydrophilic</em> exterior in contact with the external environment.
  • <em>Due to this, the plasma membrane has a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior. </em>

The paramecium has two nuclei, a big and small one. The big one operates as the director of the cell's activities, rather like a little brain. The smaller one is used for reproduction. The paramecium splits in half (fission) just as the ameba does. First the smaller nucleus splits in half and each half goes to either end of the paramecium. Then the bigger nucleus splits and the whole paramecium splits. Occasionally two paramecium exchange material and form a new paramecium. This is called conjugation. 

<span>Conjugation in Paramecia occurs in the following way: </span>

<span>a). The formation of ciliary contacts. </span>
<span>b). Local loss of cilia and formation of narrow contacts between anterioventral somatic cell membranes </span>
<span>c). Formation of small cytoplasmic bridges (which allow for the exchange of molecular components only). </span>
<span>d). Their enlargement enables the cells to exchange micronuclei. </span>

<span>Bacteria exchange plasmid material and the Paramecia exchange micronuclei.

Good luck to Steve! How is it in Neptune? XD</span>

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Autosomal dominant</em>

Explanation:

To interpret the inheritance, let us look at the pattern shown in the pedigree. The normal allele is recessive whereas the abnormal allele is dominant. This type of pedigree can be analyzed affected fathers and mothers transmit the phenotype to both sons and daughters. Hungtinton's diseases is an example of autosomal dominant disorder.

Angiosperms, dicots

Explanation:

Angiosperms are highly differentiated vascular plants which can produce flowers and bear fruits with seeds in them. These flowering plants undergo reproduction and produces new plants. The reproductive parts like ovules and ovaries, stigma, stamen, pollen are all present in the flowers.

Angiosperms can either be a monocot or dicot. If they contain two embryonic leaves or cotyledons they are referred as dicots. Flowering angiosperms like geranium, magnolias are all dicots.

Geranium is a dicot angiosperms that produces small purple flowers.

Gymnosperms or bryophytes do not bear flowers or fruits. Monocots have only embryonic leaf.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

D two organisms depend on each other for survival.

Explanation:

Symbiotic relationship is a type of relationship between two organisms in which the both of them gain something positive from each other. A good example is the relationship between the cattle and egret. The egret helps in grooming the cattle and the cattle in return provides food for the egret.

In a symbiotic relationship, two organisms depend on each other for survival and is the right choice in the above question.

sveta [45]

Answer:

Membrane Lipid Rafts.

Explanation:

They are present in all cells and have been implicated in a variety of sorting and signaling processes. They are rich in cholesterol, sphingomyelin, and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins; have more ordered acyl side chains; and are thicker than nonraft bilayer domains.
