Answer:

Estradiol has a higher partition coefficient than H+ ions

Explanation

Estradiol is a non-polar and hydrophobic molecule that has a higher partition coefficient than H+ ions, it means that the cell membrane is more permeable to this molecule because it can dissolve in and diffuse within the hydrophobic phase of the membrane. The movement of polar charged molecules (even small H+ ions) requires the input of energy to be able to dissolve within the lipid bilayer. In consequence, the movement of H+ ions requires proteins capable of transporting these protons through the membrane.

What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR
vazorg [7]
To give a direct answer, I’d have to know what gene we were looking at. However, in a general sense, when a genotype has two capital letters, it means that it’s homozygous dominant. Take for example:

R= tall stalk
r= short stalk

The uppercase R is a dominant allele, which means if the plant has the gene with this in it (RR or Rr) then it will have that trait. If it has two lowercase letters (rr) then it will be the recessive trait.

Using this example, RR would be the tall stalk. For whatever your question is, the dominant phenotype would be the answer.

Do plants and animals get their nitrogen the same way explain?
Flura [38]
No animals get nitrogen from eating plants or other animals that contain nitrogen and plants get nitrogen from the soil by absorption through their roots as amino acids, nitrate ions, nitrite ions, or ammonium ions.
