It can be found in tissues
Answer: <em>D. Causes an accumulation of lipids in brain cells</em>
Explanation:
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the <em>HEXA</em> gene. It is an autosomal recessive disease that causes the mutation on an enzyme, which metabolizes <em>GM2 Ganglioside</em> in nerve cells, this leads to a build-up of the molecule in brain cells. At the moment there is no cure for the disease, only support treatment is available.
Answer:
Option C. It is found only in a eukaryotic cell.
Explanation:
Plasma membrane is also called cell membrane. It is found in all cells of living organisms both unicellular and multicellular. It controls the amount of nutrients and wastes entering or leaving a cell. Due to permeability, the substances are easily pass through. Plasma membrane also act as boundary of animal cell.
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Cell membrane is made of the lipids and proteins with the attached moieties of carbohydrates. The plasma membrane is the selectively permeable membrane that allows the diffusion of some selected particles only.
The transport along the cell membrane depends on the size and the hydrophobicity of the molecule. The size of oxygen is although higher than magnesium but to its highly hydrophobic nature it can easily pass through the plasma membrane as compared with the magnesium. The oxygen diffuses out faster than magnesium.
Thus, the answer is false.
The first step of DNA replication is the separation of the two DNA strands to create a replication bubble. DNA Helicase is what breaks the hydrogen bonds joining the two strands, allowing it to unravel.
