Answer:

Is made of phospholipids

Explanation:

The cellular compartment of all eukaryotes is bounded by a membrane called cell/plasma membrane. The membranes in cells are similar in structure and majorly composed of phospholipids that builds it.

The phospholipid component are arranged in two adjacent layers in biological membranes, hence, called phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipid bilayer is said to be AMPHIPATHIC because it contains two hydrophobic fatty acids and a hydrophilic phosphate head in its structure. This amphipathic nature of the cell membrane confers semi-permeability of substances upon it.

How does the respiratory system in birds differ from the mammalian respiratory system?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Birds require high levels of oxygen and, therefore, high rates of gas exchange due to flight demands. Avian resting oxygen consumption is high compared to that of mammals and other vertebrates, and this increases even more during the flight.

Which of the following descriptions about RNA is not correct?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "Double-stranded regions of RNA typically take on an B-form right-handed helix".

Explanation:

Most of the native double-stranded DNA is on an B-form right-handed helix, following the structure proposed by Watson and Crick with about 10–10.5 base pairs per turn. However, double-stranded RNA does not follow this structure, and most regions have an A-form structure. The A-form right-handed helix have slightly more base pairs per turn, which makes it 20-25% shorter than B-DNA.
