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.

In photosynthesis, redox reactions ultimately transfer electrons from ______ to ______.
german

The correct answer is: D) H2O… CO2

Redox reactions are reactions of reduction (molecules tend to gain electrons) and oxidation (molecules tend to lose electrons).

Photosynthesis is a set of redox reactions. In photosynthesis electrons are removed from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide CO2 and then used to turn CO2 into organic compounds.  

The first step: Oxygen in water is oxidized (light energy required)

The second step: Carbon in CO2 is reduced; sugar is formed (dark reaction).

According to the _______ hypothesis, the moon formed far away from the earth and was later captured by the earth's gravity. The
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

capture

giant impact hypothesis

electromagnetic spectrum

cold

14

The moon's mass is much lower than the earth's; therefore, its gravity isn't strong enough to hold an atmosphere. This lack of an atmosphere and the moon's small size allowed it to become cool enough to the point at which it completely solidified. Thus, the moon doesn't have any plate tectonic activity.
