Waxy lipid covered plants?

Biology
2 answers:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lipids also serve as waxy coverings (cuticle) on plants, pigments (chlorophyll), and steroids. Lipids have more carbon and hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Fats are made of a glycerol (alcohol) and three fatty acid chains. This subunit is called a triglyceride.

<span>The waxy covering on plant leaves, young stems, and fruit is called the "cuticle". It is composed of cutin, a wax-like material produced by the plant that is chemically a hydroxy fatty acid. The purpose of this covering is to help the plant retain water.</span>

The cell cycle of yeast cells grown in the nutrient-poor environment is approximately what percent of the cell cycle of yeast ce
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Upon nutrient limitation, budding yeast will produce daughter cells less than 20% of the mother cell size. This asymmetric division may select for growth functions that are efficient over a larger range in cell sizes, such as exponential growth. In turn, efficient growth over a large size range lessens the pressure to have precise size control.

Explanation:

In wild-type cells growing in nitrogen-rich medium, the size threshold to enter mitosis is high, and the G1/S size control is cryptic because cell division produces daughter cells with a size greater than the minimum required to initiate S phase. In these conditions, G2 is long and G1 is short. However, the cell size threshold to enter mitosis is greatly reduced when wild-type cells are shifted to medium with a poor nitrogen source, such as minimal medium with proline, isoleucine, or phenylalanine. In these conditions, wild-type cells initiate mitosis at a reduced cell size, generating two daughter cells that are smaller than the critical size threshold required to progress through G1/S

What can a planetary nebula form around a dwarf star?
alisha [4.7K]
After the star's outer layers are expelled, the density of the remaining material is typically too low to provide adequate energy to sustain the hydrogen-burning shell's nuclear temperatures, and the remaining star easily contracts to form a white dwarf (a star with a density equal to the Sun, but a diameter equal to the Sun).

Describe how the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects your cells.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

SARS- CoV- 2 is a virus that infects human by the oral-respiratory way in which the virus enters the body and these viruses have spikes on their surface made of spike proteins that allow these viruses to bind with the infected cell.

The infected cells have ACE2 receptor that is protein present on the surface of the human cells. Binding allows the structural change in the virus to fuse and enter in the cell where viruses reproduce them selves with the cell with cell system.
