Answer:

<u>Fatty-acids:</u>

Fatty acid is a form of lipid. While fatty acid is a long aliphatic stranded molecules in which the carboxylic molecules are chained with it, in such a way that the molecules are either posses single bonds between them or they have a double bond system between the atoms.

  • <u>Saturated Fatty acids:</u> The saturated fatty acids have a single bond mechanism between the atoms in the aliphatic chain, as it is an un-branched, linear chains of CH₂ groups linked with one another.(Alkanes) i.e "-".
  • <u>Unsaturated Fatty acids:</u>The unsaturated fatty acids posses the double bonding(Alkenes) between them.i.e "=".

<u>b) Lipid Molecule:</u>

The lipid molecules are complex structures which are insoluble in water and are moreover hydrophobic in nature. They consists of fatty acids, waxes and steroids in general.

<u>Amphipathic lipids:</u> A lipid molecule which consists of two main parts, as there is a water insoluble portion of the molecule the hydrophobic tail and the hydrophilic (head) part of the molecules which is water soluble.

<u>Structure and function of the cell membrane:</u>

  • The cell membrane posses a form of lipid called as phospholipids, which acts as the main constituent of the cell membrane.
  • The hydropbic part of the molecule is kept covered inside while on the outside the hydrophillic portion of the molecule exists, and due to the interaction between them the exchange of molecules occurs.

<em>Along, with that the phospholipid along with the proteins molecules helps out to build and cover the cell membrane of the molecules.</em>

zzz [600]

I'd say it is phosphorus or phosphate. The easiest way to identify the answer is trough these frases:

Plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation.

Plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant.

During assimilation, plants provide phofphorous (and other nutrients) to the cells and tissues - plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation.

Plants also used phosphorus in processes such as transpiration and photosynthesis wich contributes to the fact that plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

What is homeostasis? How do cells use both diffusion and osmosis to help maintain homeostasis?
arlik [135]

Answer:

Osmosis is the process cells use to move water molecules in and out of the cell through the cell membrane. When cells are put in different environments they will try to maintain an equilibrium with the water concentration outside the cell. Through osmosis the cell will lose or gain water molecules to become equal to the concentration in their environment.

What are the genotypes of the parents? I'm guessing it's Yy and yy, but I'm not exactly sure.​
svet-max [94.6K]

Well since the capital letter is dominate and always takes power and the lower case letter is recessive doesn't take power. It would be 50%.

The answer would be Yy and yy :D

Explain how a paleontologist might use absolute dating techniques to determine the age of a fossil.
miv72 [106K]
A paleontologist can use radiometric dating (also known as carbon dating), to determine the age of a fossil. They do this by measuring the decay of isotopes in either the fossil itself or the rocks associated with it. A carbon-14 isotope takes about<span> 5,730 years to halfway decay, knowing this information paleontologists can date a fossil by how long the fossil has been decaying with the use of special tools.
