Answer:
3. Tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic.
Explanation:
According to the fluid mosaic model, the plasma or cell membrane contains components such as: proteins, phospholipids etc. The phospholipid forms a layer called PHOSPHOLIPID LAYER, which comprises of a phosphate head and a fatty acid (lipid) tail.
The phosphate head is HYDROPHILIC i.e. water-logging while the fatty acid/lipid tail is HYDROPHOBIC i.e. water-fearing. Hence, according to this question, it is TRUE that the tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic.
Note: Phospholipid layer, which are selectively-permeable i.e do not allow the passage of molecules, allows the passage/diffusion of small molecules like oxygen gas.
Answer:
Explanation: “Insoluble” generally means that a substance does not dissolve in water. Some examples include: sand, fats, wood, metals, and plastic. When we put them in water and try to mix them, they will not dissolve.
Explanation:
You can find it in rainforest because they like damp places.
Acute radiation can be healed by developing cells (white blood cells) in the body. During Chronic radiation immense amount of energy is released into your body causing division and break down of cells which can cause cancer and internal bleeding and cannot be cured depending on the amount released.
Answer:
a frisbee flaying in the air
Explanation:
Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;
Where;
- K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
- M represents mass measured in kilograms.
- V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
Hence, an example of kinetic energy at work is a frisbee flaying in the air because it would possess energy due to its motion in the air.
