Why are lipids able to function as protective barriers in cells?

Biology

Papessa [141]3 years ago

<span>The reason behind the lipids which are able to function as protective barriers in cells is that lipids do not dissolve in water.
If lipids dissolve in water, they will not be able to function as protective barriers in cells. N</span><span>ucleic acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates are the four types of macro-molecules in the cell.</span>

1. Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently
maria [59]

Answer:

a. 1/64 AATTDD

b. 1/64 aattdd

c. 8/64=1/8 AaTtDd

d. 2/64 = 1/32 AATTDd or aattDd or AAttDd or aaTTDd

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Flower position: Axial (A) is dominant to Terminal (a)
  • Stem length: Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t)
  • Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r)

<u>Cross</u>:

Parental) AaTtDd   x   AaTtDd

Knowing that these four genes assort independently, then we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

  • AA= 1/4

       Aa =2/4

       aa = 1/4

  • TT = 1/4

        Tt = 2/4

         tt = 1/4

  • DD = 1/4

        Dd = 2/4

        dd = 1/4

<em>This is the same as developing a Punnett square for each gene separately.</em>

Knowing this, to get each of the mentioned genotypes for each trait, we must multiply their respective genotypic proportions, like this:

a. homozygous for the three dominant traits, AATTDD

   AA1/4 x TT 1/4 x DD 1/4 = AATTDD 1/64

b. homozygous for the three recessive traits, aattdd

   aa 1/4 x tt 1/4 x dd 1/4 = aattdd 1/64

c. heterozygous for all three characters, AaTtDd

   Aa 2/4 x Tt 2/4 x Dd 2/4 = AaTtDd 8/16=1/8

d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape. There are four possibilities, all of them with the same result:

AATTDd --> 1/4  x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aattDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

AAttDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aaTTDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

Which would probably have the greatest effect on a protein's function
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

tertiary structure

Interactions among the amino acid side chains within a single protein molecule determine the protein's tertiary structure. Tertiary structure is the most important of the structural levels in determining, for example, the enzymatic activity of a protein.
