Answer:

Glycocalyx

Explanation:

Glycocalyx is carbohydrate rich (glycoprotein + glycolipid) coating that is found in outer surface of cell membrane of many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells specially bacteria.

Glycoprotein=Carbohydrate + Protein

Glycolipids=  Carbohydrate + Lipids

Glycocalyx provied a barrier between cell and its surrounding, adhesion and provide protection in bacteria. In eukaryotes it can be used to identify cells.

Are triglycerides dengerous
Hatshy [7]

They are not something that you prevent from being made in your body. They are automatically made when you eat food that is not automatically converted into calories. This is used for energy later on for you body.

But too much of triglycerides is bad for you. This condition is called hypertriglyceridemia. Your doctor can detect if you have this condition by simply running a lipid panel (a blood test) that measures your overall cholesterol, you LDL and HDL cholesterol, and also measuring your triglycerides.

If you do take this test, they will make you fast for about 8 hours. They make you do this because triglycerides are usually lowest after you fast but goes up really high after a big meal (like a Thanksgiving Dinner!).

(Extra: your triglycerides are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and if your levels are:

BELOW 150 -----------------Healthy

150-199 -----------------------Borderline

200-499 ---------------------High

500+ --------------------------Very High


Most people are under 200, so in the end, you don't have to worry about your triglyceride levels.

Which of the following is an example of polygenic (quantitative) inheritance? a. the ABO blood groups b. Huntington's disease
ra1l [238]

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).
