Answer:

Cellulose

Explanation:

Cellulose is not a characteristic of plasma membrane, it is a characteristic of cell wall instead. Chemically, cellulose is a polysaccharide and a polymer of glucose. It serves the function of providing strength to plant stems, leafs, and branches. It is present in only plant cells, some fungi and bacteria not in animal cells. In animal cells it is absent because animals are motile so if they sense any danger then they can move to avoid an injury or harm but since plants are non-motile they can not move from one place to another even if they sense any kind of danger that is why they need additional strength which is provided by cellulose.

Other options are wrong. Plasma membrane is primarily made up of phospholipids and some integral proteins. Plasma membrane facilitates liquid uptake from environment into the cell and this process is known as cell drinking or pinocytosis. It is selectively permeable that means it allows movement of only a few substances while restrict others from entering the cells. In this question since they are asking what are not characteristics of cell membrane so 1st option is correct.

Which statement correctly describes how nitrogen in the soil returns to the atmosphere?
Naya [18.7K]
The answer is "Decomposers directly convert ammonium into nitrogen gas".

Living organisms such as plants and animals contains nitrogen in the form of the amino acids and proteins. When they die, the nitrogen in the form of ammonium is decomposed by microorganisms. It is then converted into nitrites and then to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. The denitrifying bacteria then converts nitrates into nitrogen.

Chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase are digestive enzymes called serine proteases. The serine proteases differ in substrate spec
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The correct options are:

c. phenylalanine

f. tyrosine

Explanation:

The specificity of the pocket of chymotrypsin is for <em>aromatic aminoacids</em> o amino acids with <em>bulky hydrophobic chains</em>. From the list of amino acids, the aromatic amino acids are <em>phenylalanine</em> (with a phenyl group) and <em>tyrosine </em>(with a phenolic group).

From the rest, there are not amino acids with bulky hydrophobic side chains. Arginine has a 3-carbon side chain but it has a polar guanidino group, so it is not a bulky hydrophobic R-group. Alanine is hydrophobic but it is not bulky - it has only a methyl (-CH₃) group as R-group. Aspartate is not hydrophobic neither aromatic. Finally, glycine is very simple, it has only a -H as R-group.

which statement best describes vascular tissue in seed plants xylem carries food produced by the leaves to the rest of the plant
laila [671]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the vascular tissue in seed plants is that xylem carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Explanation:

Xylem corresponds to the tissue of the vascular plants that is responsible for the transport and distribution of liquids necessary for their development.

The main function of xylem is to<u> carry water, mineral salts and other nutrients -in the form of raw sap- from the root to the whole plant</u>, forming a network similar to the circulatory system of higher animals.
