The meaning of diffusion is the movement of the molecules reign from high concentration to a low concentration reign. As a result, there is a random motion between the atoms and molecules.
Hope this helps :)
The features or characteristics of organic compounds include:
1. They contain covalent bonds and are mostly non polar in nature
2. Have lower boiling and melting points than inorganic compounds
3. Many organic compounds are thermally unstable, They decompose into simpler molecules when heated at fairly high temperatures
4. Most organic compounds are inflammable and burn exothermically in sufficient air to yield carbon dioxide, water and heat energy.
5. Most organic compounds being largely non polar are insoluble in water.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
According to the theory of evolution,species which are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce in a population passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.
During sexual reproduction, genes can be arranged in new ways from chromosomal crossing over and recombination. This introduces new gene combinations(genotype) and ultimately variation in the population.
This variation may also lead to the observation of new phenotypes in the population.
A) Crossing over is the mechanism of genetic variation that results from the exchange of gene segments between non-sister chomatids.
Answer: Substances that are protein based cannot cross the lipid cell membrane, but can exert their effect by binding to the proteins based receptors present on the lipid bilayer.
Explanation:
Hormones such as calcitonin , Parathyroid hormone and pituatry horomones are proteins and water soluble.They cannot cross lipid bilayer but can bind to ligand binding protein receptors.
These receptors are protein macromolecules that are specific in nature for specific hormones.
After binding to the receptors, these hormone-recpetor complexes activate second messengers and regulate the downstream effects.
