Answer:

The correct answer would be option B.

It can be explained with the help of osmosis.

Osmosis is the phenomenon by which water moves from the region of lower solute concentration to the region of higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.

In the given scenario, a cell has 1% concentration and solution has 5% concentration. Thus, cell is hypotonic as compared to the solution due to which it has higher water potential.

Consequently, water moves out the cell and cell shrinks in size.

What prevents the elodea cells from completely collapsing?

MariettaO [177]

Plasmolysis is the reason. The reason that the Elodea cell prevents from collapsing completely is that the Plasmolysis is the main reason because it always has water to keep it full. The answer in this question is Plasmolysis is the reason because it always has water to keep it full.

There are two continents with an ocean between them. Today, the continents have very different plants and animals on them. Howev

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The continents could have gotten so far because of plate tectonic movement. We know that the plates are always moving so if these plates were very active then it would have caused supercontinent pangea to drift apart. This process must have taken more than a million years to happen.

In most cases, mutations in the core of a protein that replace a smaller nonpolar side chain in the wild-type (e.g., Ala, Val) w

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

The protein core is hydrophobic in nature.
Mutation disrupts the hydrophobic interactions between the non-polar amino acids in the core of the protein thereby destabilising its structure.
Filling the blanks: non-polar, hydrophobic, large, Van der Waals contacts, Van der Waals contacts.

Explanation:

The core of a protein is rich in non-polar amino acids like alanine, valine, leucine, etc.
These amino acids are capable of interacting with each other by the formation of weak Van der Waals contacts with each other.
Van der Waals forces can be defined as the force of attraction between atoms or molecules when they are in close vicinity with respect to each other.
The proper folding of a protein requires the proper positioning of each of the side chains of the amino acids in both the interior as well as the exterior of the protein.
Mutation causing the replacement of a short chain non-polar amino acid with a long-chain non polar amino acid in the protein core requires more space for the long chain non-polar amino acid. This disrupts many Van der Waal forces of interaction among other non-polar amino acid side chains in the interior of the protein.
This ultimately distorts the entire folding pattern of the protein causing its destabilisation and mis-folding.

Explain the difference between a guess and a prediction [if possible keep it short xD]

Ahat [919]

Predicting is when you are guessing but with evidence and previous knowledge. Guessing is when you are just guessing randomly ‍♀️ sorry the explanation for guessing is kind of bad
