The cells of plant seeds store oils in the form of droplets enclosed by membranes. The oil droplet membrane consists of a single

layer of phospholipids rather than a bilayer. Explain why in this case a single layer would be more stable than a bilayer.

Answer:

Explanation:

A single layer of phospholipids forms what is called a micelle. The polar and hydrophilic phospho head groups would form the outermembrane which interacts with the aqueous environment. The nonpolar and hydrophobic lipid tails would be in the cytosol where they pack tightly and form stable interactions with the hydrophobic chains of the stored oil molecules.

Answer:

Explanation:

The cells of plant seeds store oil as droplet and enclosed by membranes. The two membranes are cell membrane and oil droplet membrane and the two contain phospholipds with hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head. The bilayer of the cell membrane has hydrophobic on the side and hydrophilic inside and this enable mobility of molecules in and out of the cell.

The single layer of phospholipids in the oil membrane can either have hydrophobic on a side and hydrophilic on another side, molecule don't move much in it. Oil is hyrophobic, the membrane has a single layer with hydrophobic tail in the oil and hydrophilic head inside and this will help the oil to form droplets.

Carbon would be the answer to this because it is an element while water is a compound. In addition, carbon had 4 bonding sites which allows it to form a variety of molecules like sugars, proteins, and even DNA that are essential for life as we know it.

Are earthquakes predictable? Explain your answer.
mamaluj [8]

No. Scientists have never predicted a earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

A researcher is designing a laboratory experiment to determine whether the inorganic substance A affects the rate of a reaction
Bas_tet [7]
First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst. hope this helps :)
