Biology
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B, C, Dand E are all correct

Explanation:

Why B is correct- The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit.

Plants, animals, and bacteria have a cell membrane. Why d is correcect

Why C is correct- The cell membrane is not a solid structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules that create a flexible and porous container. Proteins and phospholipids make up most of the membrane structure.

Why E is correct- The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids arranged in a bilayer, with the hydrophobic tails on the interior of the membrane, and the hydrophilic heads pointing outwards

Why A Is Not correct- It is very fragile and its role is to hold the cell together and to help control what substances can get in and out. It is partially permeable, allowing only some substances to pass through it. The membrane has a complex structure consisting of a phospholipid bi-layer and different types of proteins.

posledela

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

Hershey and Chase's experiment was performed to test whether DNA serves as the genetic material or protein.

To perform experiment they grew bacteriophage into radiolabeled phosphorus and sulfur compounds. The phosphorus is an integral part of the structure of DNA whereas proteins contain sulfur in their structure.  

In the given condition if radiolabeled nitrogen is utilized then the experiment will fail as the structure of proteins also contains an amino group( NH₂) in their structure as well as DNA. The scientist will not be able to identify whether the DNA is the genetic material or protein.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

Some orchids produce two types of flowers, one with only anthers and the other with only carpels. And on some orchids like this,
aliina [53]

Answer:

The Orchids is the diversified structures of flowers, in fact, they have unique feature. Even with the pollination, they have several mechanisms of pollination. Few of them include:  

1. Few orchids have self-fertilization where the anther converts from solid-state to a liquid state without any aid of an external pollinating agent.  

2. In others, self-pollination occurs, when the caudicles dry the pollen fall on the stigma.  

3. This happens through an external pollinator resulting in a diversity of species.  

4. This is a very special case where the flower attracts the insect to mate with bright petals, odor, and the shape.  

5. These types depend on ants and other insects to get pollinated.

6. Here, the pollens release some kind of force, when an insect gets in contact with anther which results in getting away the agent from the flower.

Which is a way in which exocytosis differs from the pumping of calcium ions against a concentration gradient?
mr Goodwill [35]
Exocytosis is ana ctive transport method and does not include any transport protein. whereas calcium ions pass through the membrane with the help of trans- membrane protein. These proteins make pores inside hydrophobic membrane and allow the ions to pass though it.
