Phospholipids, steroids and glycolipids are amphipathic and can form membranes made of lipid bilayers. On the other hand, trigly

cerides are fatty acids linked to all three carbons of glycerol and are basically one hydrophobic ball of a macromolecule. Consider the hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers of a lipid bilayer. If a membrane were to form around a clot of triglycerides, what would be predicted?

Answer:

The cell membrane of the living organism is made of the lipid bilayer and proteins. The most common lipid present in the plasma membrane is the phospholipids.

Phospholipids has both the hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head. The hydrophobic region interacts with each other. The lipid layer of phopholipids gets in association with the hydrocarbon chain of triglycerides. Their hydrophilic part dissolve in each other.

Identify each adaptation as structural or behavioral adaptations.
Zina [86]

Answer:

Monkeys have a prehensile tail that allows them to grab and hold onto tree branches - structural

Moose make mating calls to locate potential mates - behavioral

Whales are covered in a thick layer of blubber, insulating their bodies in cold ocean waters - structural

Humans have five toes on each foot to help them maintain balance - structural

Many birds migrate south for the winter in search of food - behavioral

Explanation:

The structural adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment through development of physical traits that give them an advantage. Such adaptations are the thick layer of blubber of the whales, the five toes of the humans, prehensile tail of the monkeys, rotational toe of the clouded leopard, long of the giraffe etc. The behavioral adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment, but they manifested through their actions, not their physical traits. Such adaptations are the mating calls of the moos, the migration of the birds in winter, the hibernation of the bears etc.

Why do warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity
Andrej [43]
<span>biomes vary in their rates of net primary production-biomass that remains after cellular respiration limited by sunlight and nutrients available In general, warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity than colder and drier biomes. The reason for this trend is that plants require sunlight, water, and temperatures warm enough to grow. This is true even in aquatic ecosystems, where sunlight and the availability of nutrients determine the level of net primary productivity.</span>
