Select the correct answer. Which statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule? A. The hydrogen end of the mol
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

option B) The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge.

Justification:

The electronegativity of an element accounts for its relative ability to attract electrons.

Being oxygen more electronegative than hdyrogen (the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 while the electronegativity of the hydrogen is 2.20), the electron density will be displaced toward the oxygen, letting it with a partial negative charge and the hydrogen with a partial positive charge.

Finally, since the charge is not symmetrical distributed around a center of the molecule, the molecule ends being polar.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

No more reactions occurs.

Explanation:

The activity of other metabolic pathways also change in response to the proton which enters mitochondria without passing through ATP synthase because ATP synthase is responsible for the production of ATP molecules from proton. If this ATP is not produced no further reactions occurs in the cell. This ATP is used by the cells in various activities so if the proton does not pass through ATP synthase then no energy in the form of ATP is present for other metabolic pathways of the cells.

In a cladogram, what occurs at a node?
avanturin [10]
<span>A terminal node is the hypothetical last common ancestral interbreeding population of the taxon labeled at a tip of the cladogram. An internal node is the hypothetical last common ancestral population that speciated (i.e., split) to give rise to two or more daughter taxa, which are thus sister taxon to each other</span>

What does the Nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm do?
Serga [27]

Answer:

The cell membrane holds the cell's internal contents from its environment.

The cell membrane is comprised of two layers of fat.

The cytoplasm is a liquid in which the various organelles of the cell are suspended.

The cytoplasm keeps organelles in place. It also allows different materials to flow from one organelle to another.

The nucleus of a cell contains genetic material. DNA, RNA and mitochondria replicate in the nucleus. The nucleus also produces and replicates proteins, and sends the proteins to other parts of the cell.

I hope this helped
