The part of the phospholipid bilayer that interacts with water would be the hydrophilic portion consisting of the polar phosphate group. The hydrophobic tails which are the fatty acid chains will not interact with the water present in the aqueous environment.

Genetic mutations pass to offspring in gametes because gametes A) are not germ cells. B) make up all internal organs. C) do not
Anni [7]
Because gametes (sex cells) are the only cells that pass along genetic information. Somatic cells are the cells that have already differentiated into various organs or tissues. They can't pass on a mutation to offspring because they're not involved in creating it.

The answer is D. They fuse during sexual reproduction

Storage polysaccharides, like starch and glycogen, often contain over a million glucose units. The energetic cost of synthesizin
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Glucose present as monomers within the cell will exert more osmotic pressure than a single glycogen molecule, resulting in endosmosis and the lysing of cells.

Also, the presence of free glucose molecules will result in increase in weight of the liver due to lack of efficient packing as in glycogen as well as the association ofnthe glucose molecules with water molecules.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomer units linked to Each other by α-1,4-glycosidic binds. α-1,6-branches arises at about every 10th glucose residue in the straight chain. Thus animals more glucose molecules to be stored within a much smaller space, thereby incresing the bulkiness of glycogen. Glycogen molecules are insoluble in the aqueous medium of the cell because it doesn't have enough free polar groups to participate in hydrogen bonding with water and are stored as granules and therefore do not affect the water potential or osmotic balance of the cell.

On the other hand, glucose molecules are highly soluble in water because it has many free polar -OH grours that form hydrogen bonds with water. If the glucosyl residues in large numbers of glycogen molecules were replaced with an equivalent number of molecules of free glucose, the free glucose will exert a high osmotic pressure inside the cell, causing the entry of water in the cell by endosmosis resulting in swelling and lysis ofnthe cell. Also, the space occupied by these free glucose units within the cell will be much larger than that of glycogen whichmenables efficient packing ofthe glucose molecules.

Describe how natural selection impacts the evolution of organisms
kherson [118]

Answer:  

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Natural selection can lead to speciation, where one species gives rise to a new and distinctly different species. It is one of the processes that drives evolution and helps to explain the diversity of life on Earth.

What do scientists share the results of experiments
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

I think you mean why do scientists share the results of experiments

D is the correct answer

Explanation:

They would inform other people so they can know about the scientist's experiment. From that, many people can learn and study based on what scientists have done in the experiments.

Hope this can help you :3
