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.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

True, if this helps can i have brainlist :D

Explanation:

In A.D. 1200 (or thereabouts), a small group of Polynesians — it might have been a single family — made their way there, settled in and began to farm. When they arrived, the place was covered with trees — as many as 16 million of them, some towering 100 feet high.

Darwin studied actual birds on the Galapagos Islands instead of using a simulation, as you did in this lab. Studying natural sel
Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
Hope this helped a little!

How are rhizomes involved in asexual reproduction of ferns?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The sporophytes of ferns grow through the rhizome

Explanation:

The gametophyte are responsible for sexual reproduction in plants while the sporophytes are usually responsible for asexual reproduction in plants.

Sporophytes are found in the rhizomes of plants and they help in the asexual reproduction.

This is how rhizomes are involved in asexual reproduction of ferns
