Why are lipids good for making cell membrane

Biology
2 answers:
ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
8 0

The lipids create a lipid bilayer which is a universal component of all cell membranes as its role is very critical because its structural component provides the barrier that marks the boundary of the cell.

Lipids are good for making the cell membrane because they are stronger and block out things that should not be getting in out, for instance lipids mainly only let water and gases pass through.

6. (3 pts) After transformation, 40 colonies were present on the plate. What is the transformation efficiency of the competent c
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Given:

Number of colonies on plate = 40

Amount of DNA used for transformation = 100ng

Volume of competent cells used = 100ul

Total volume = 1ml (1000ul)

Volume plated for growth = 200ul

The amount of cells transformed per 1 µg of DNA is called the transformation efficiency

(CFU is colony forming units) => (number of colonies on plate/ng of DNA plated) X 1000 ng/µg = CFU/µg of DNA

Amount of DNA used for plating = 100ng * (200/1000)

                                                      = 100ng * (1/5)

                                                      = 100/5 = 20ng

Efficiency calculation = 40 colonies / 20ng = 2 colonies/ng

               (2 colonies/ng) * (1000 ng/µg) = 2000 CFU/ug DNA

Transformation efficiency = 2000 Transformants / ug DNA

                                          = 2 x 10³ Transformants / ug DNA

Explanation:

Efficiency of transformation is highest in the 100 pg-1 ng range, so Low transformation efficiency could be because of high amount of DNA used for transformation.

g Indium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 113In with an atomic weight of 112.904 amu, and 115In with an atomic weight of 11
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Fraction-of-occurrences of 115In isotope = 0.957

Explanation:

As we know  weight of 113 In  isotope is equal to the sum of product of fraction-of-occurrences of two constituents isotopes and their atomic weight

^{115}In_w = f_{113}*A_{113} + f_{115}*A_{115} ------(1)

As we know sum of fraction-of-occurrences of two constituents isotopes is equal to one.

f_{113} + f_{115} = 1\\f_{113} = 1- f_{115}---------(2)

Substituting the given values in equation 1, we get

^{115}In_w = f_{113}*A_{113} + f_{115}*A_{115}\\114.818 = (1 - f_{115}) * 112.904 + f_{115} * 114.904\\f_{115} = 0.957

Substituting this value in equation 2 we get -

f_{113} = 1- f_{115}\\f_{113} =  1- 0.957 \\f_{113} = 0.043

Why would joint damage be associated with rapid growth and low testosterone levels?
zalisa [80]
Answer: Low levels of testosterone has been linked to joint pain and may cause rheumatoid arthritis in the long run. Rapid growth can lead to joint damage as <span>the accelerated bone growth disrupts the supply of blood to the cartilage, causing bone death and regrowth.
