Explain in detail about Phospholipid Bilayer.

Biology
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
5 0

A phospholipid bilayer or lipid bilayer is a double layer of lipids in a cell membrane which has a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic part.

Hydrophobic - expelled by water

Hydrophilic - attracted to water

The layers form the cell membrane which means that it's functions are the same as the functions of a cell membrane, and are critic to the cells functioning.

Which describes the missing step?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The missing step is oxygen is removed from the water after step 3.

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

  1. <em>Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity. </em>
  2. <em>Food is filtered and digested. </em>
  3. <em>Water leaves trough an opening at the top of the body.</em>

Porifera or sponges are aquatic, immobile invertebrates whose structure is saccular with an upper opening, the osculus.

Sponges absorb water through their pores, where the porocytes are found, and through flagellated cells -the coanocytes- the movement that allows the entrance of water to the spongocele or atrium is produced, in addition to the phagocytosis of organic elements.

Once the water is in the interior chamber of the sponges, the organic particles are phagocyted to be digested, and the oxygen is removed from the water, and passes through diffusion into the cell.  The waste products, as well as carbon dioxide, are released into the water that will be expelled through the osculus.

<u><em>In Xavier's list, the missing step is the removal of oxygen from the water, before it is expelled from the body of the sponge</em></u><em>.</em>

Compare the process of carbon fixation in C3 plants to that of C4 plants.
Gre4nikov [31]

Carbon fixation is the process in which plants remove the carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide and turn it into organic molecules like carbohydrates.

Because different type of plants are located in regions with different conditions they are different types of carbon fixation.  Plants that live in arid regions need to conserve water, while plants that live in more moist conditions will not need to conserve water.

The carbon fixation in C3 plants is one-step process. An oxidation reaction occurs because of the enzyme RuBisCo.  During the oxidation some of the energy used in photosynthesis is lost in a process known as photorespiration.
