Imagine a new type of cell was discovered on Mars in an organism growing in benzene, a nonpolar liquid. The cell had a lipid bil

ayer made of phospholipids, but its structure was very different from that of our cell membranes.*Part A:* Describe what might be a possible structure for this new type of membrane.A.)This membrane would have the polar groups on the two surfaces facing the nonpolar solvent, and it would have a hydrophilic interior.B.) This membrane would have the nonpolar groups on the two surfaces facing the nonpolar solvent, and it would have a hydrophilic interior.C.) This membrane would have the nonpolar groups on the two surfaces facing the nonpolar solvent, and it would have a hydrophobic interior.D.) This membrane would have the polar groups on the two surfaces facing the nonpolar solvent, and it would have a hydrophobic interior.*Part B:* *What might be characteristic features of the phospholipid head groups?A.)The phospholipid head groups would likely have equal numbers of hydroxyl and amino groups that would pack well and not be bulky.B.)The phospholipid head groups would likely have equal numbers of positively and negatively charged groups that would pack well and not be bulky.C.)The phospholipid head groups would likely bind to each other with covalent bonds that would pack well and not be bulky.D.)The phospholipid head groups would likely bind to each other with hydrogen bonding that would pack well and not be bulky

Answer:

Part a : c is true, part b: c is correct

Explanation:

Since this new cell can grow in a non polar liquid, that mean that need to be surround with this kind of molecules, and inside will be similar because if not the water will never get out from the cell.

The phospholipid will form a lipid bilayer and since the external and the inner structure is a non polar environment, the bonding among the lipids will be covalent nature so it can flow in a non polar surrounding.

Phenotypic ratio is comparing the number of dominant genes to the number of recessive genes

so like let's say there are 3 dominant genes and 1 recessive, you'd write the ratio like this

trapecia [35]
The most familiar non-vascular plants that contain simple conducting cells are Mosses. Most non vascular are bryophytes and are small in size, they lack vascular tissues and also lack true leaves, seeds, and flowers. Instead of roots, the have hair-like rhizoids that functions to anchor them to the ground and to absorb water and mineral salts from the soil. They are three types, mosses, hornworts and liverworts.

During cellular respiration what is the direct source of the energu used in the cells of consumers?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Consumers use chemical energy from the chemical bonds within organic molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,  and amino acids.

Explanation:

<u>Heterotrophs are consumers</u>; they ingest or absorb organic matter (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.)  made by autotrophs or producers for their energy consumption. Autotrophs include plants, bacteria, and other photosynthesizing organisms, while heterotrophs include animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.

Heterotrophs obtain energy from food through the process of cellular respiration. For instance, during aerobic respiration in mitochondria, they break down sugars in the form of glucose into carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:      C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

                                      glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
