Phospholipids make up most of the lipid part of the cell membrane. Since water exists on both the outside and inside of a cell,

which of the following phospholipid arrangements makes the most sense?a single layer of phospholipids with the polar heads facing outside the celltwo back-to-back phospholipid layers with the non-polar tails facing out on both sidesa single layer of phospholipids with the polar heads facing inside the celltwo back-to-back phospholipid layers with the polar heads facing out on both sides

Answer:

Two back-to-back phospholipid layers with the polar heads facing out on both sides

Explanation:

Phospholipids are made up of a head  and two tails. The head can be described as a phosphate molecule that is water loving (hydrophilic) whereas fatty acids make up the two tails. The fatty acids repel water and hence are hydrophobic. The assembling of the phospholipids for the the formation of cell membrane depends on these hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The assembling of the phospholipids is in two layers. The phosphate head face outwards on both sides to attract water and the tails tend to hide from the water molecules by being composed in the layers of the head. this assembling is termed as the "self-assembly".

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Presence of papillary muscles

Explanation:

  • Papillary muscles are structural components of the ventricles.
  • They are attached to the cusps of the mitral and tricuspid valves through connective tissue strings known as the cordinae tendeneae (heart strings).
  • These muscles prevent the prolaspse of these valves during ventricular systole.
  • Although they differ in number i.e. two in left and three in right ventricle, papillary muscles are present in both ventricles.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

What is the difference between cellular respiration and the combustion of fossil fuels?
madreJ [45]

Carbon is released into the atmosphere only during the burning of fossil fuels

Explanation:

During the process of fuel burning, carbon is released in the atmosphere. The human invented power plants, factories, cars and other vehicles releases carbon in the form of carbon di-oxide in atmosphere.  

However, the cellular respiration is similar to that of fuel burning as it is too a combustion process. But the carbon produced in this process fuels the inner cellular activities rather than releasing it in the atmosphere.
