For the leaves to be presearved as fossil, they have to undergo a natural process of carbonization. This involves a slow chemical reaction with water over time that allows oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen to escape the leaves’ structure as gases leaving behind a carbon skeleton/film.

To preserve the leaves that are put in a forest floor the leaves have to be dehydrated and put in 10% formalin.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tissues or any organelles that are got form any organism contains a lot of hydration in them; it is the water content that makes them vulnerable to contamination.

In order for the leaves to remain like fossils, they must be naturally carbonated. This involves a slow chemical reaction with water, allowing oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to escape from the leaf structure as the gas leaves the carbon atoms.  

The contamination is caused by the bacteria that grow on these leaves by feeding on the hydration and organic content of the material, when this is fixed using an organic solvent then there is no room for contamination.

Two protein kinases, K1 and K2, function sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway. If either kinase contains a mutatio
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The order must be K2→K1, since the permanently active K1 allele (K1a) is able to propagate the signal onward even when its upstream activator K2 is inactive (K2i). The reverse order would have resulted in a failure to signal (K1a→K2i), since the permanently active K1a kinase would be attempting to activate a dead K2i kinase.

Explanation:

  • You characterize a double mutant cell that contains K2 with type I mutation and K1 with type II mutation.
  • You observe that the response is seen even when no extracellular signal is provided.
  • In the normal pathway, i f K1 activat es K2, we expect t his combinat ion of two m utants to show no  response with or without ext racell ular signal. This is because no matt er how active K1 i s, it would be unable to  act ivate a mutant K2 that i s an activit y defi cient. If we reverse the order, K2 activating K1, the above  observati on is valid. Therefore, in the normal signaling pathway, K2 activates K1.

Decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains on a particular type of phospholipid would result in the formation of _____.
Helga [31]

More fluid bilayers will be formed when the saturation of the fatty acids chains on a phospholipid is decreased.

Fatty acids are present in animals, plants and other microorganisms. They are composed of the carbon chain with carboxyl group at the end of the chain. The fatty acids are the vital components of the lipids, which are the essential fat soluble components. When the saturation level of these acids is decreased, it leads to the formation of more lipid bilayers.

Hence, the correct answer is 'more fluid bilayers'.
