Answer:

The water molecules in ice are considerably far apart as compared to cold water of 4 degrees centigrade and below. This, therefore, makes ice less dense than water at these temperatures (because they are fewer water molecules in ice per unit volume). This is why ice floats on cold water below 4 degrees centigrade. Ice, being a bad conductor of heat, shields the water below an ice sheet from excessive heat loss to the atmosphere. This is why water remains liquid below an ice sheet protecting the marine life below from complete freezing.

This is a molecule of glucose, a simple carbohydrate. If this molecule were broken down, would it provide all of the elements ne

Bingel [31]

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

As in the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.

As we know that Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON).

Biomolecules contain elements like carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Among these carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen are found in all biomolecules. Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers, Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.

What does it mean if there are few differences in the amino acid sequence

seraphim [82]

The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by DNA. In a protein that is present in all species, the amino acid sequence will be different. Once a protein has been chosen, the amino acid sequence of that protein in different species are compared. More similarities, or fewer differences, indicate that two species are closely related.

What would be the flow of the water and salt in or out of the plant cells?

ANEK [815]

Answer:

When plant cells are surrounded with salt water, the water inside the plant moves from where there is more water (less salt) through the cell wall and membrane to the outside where there is less water (more salt).
