Membrane lipids are capable of many different types of movement. What does not occur spontaneously in biological membranes?

Biology
1 answer:
mina [271]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In biological membranes, substances are usually moved in and out, in order to ensure healthy development of cells and organism. These membranes are made up of a two lipid layer and often permit lipid-soluble substances easier movement.

Different types of movement occurs, they are PASSIVE and ACTIVE TRANSPORT. Passive transport of solutes occurs spontaneously (without energy supply) following concentration gradient and/or a carrier protein.

On the other hand, Active transport involves transport of solutes with the help of specific "vehicle" called carrier proteins ONLY in the presence of energy, and AGAINST concentration gradient.

Because ACTIVE TRANSPORT requires energy (in form of ATP) to drive its transport, it DOES NOT occur spontaneously in biological membranes.

Which is TRUE for the cells that are formed by the end of Meiosis II?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B 4 cells are formed,each having half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a specific type of cell division that occur in the germ cells.Meiosis is called reductional division because the 4 new cells those are produced after second meiotic division contain half the number of chromosomes as that of original cells.

   During meiosis a cell undergo division two times the division that occur during first time is called first meiotic division resulting in the formation of 2 cells having 2n number of chromosomes.On the other hand the second meiotic division form 4 cells each having half the number of chromosomes.

A true-breeding pea plant with round, green seeds was crossed to a true-breeding plant with wrinkled, yellow seeds. Round and ye
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

See explanations

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel developed the model of heredity that now bears his name by experiments on various charactersitics of pea plants: height (tall vs. Short); seed color (yellow vs. Green); seat coat (smooth vs. wrinkled), etc. The following explanation uses the tall/short trait. The other traits Mendel studied can be substituted for tall and short.

Mendel started out with plants that "bred true". That is, when tall plants were self-pollinated (or cross-pollinated with others like them), plants in following generations were all tall; when the short plants were self-pollinated (or cross- pollinated with others like them) the plants in following generations were all short.

Mendel found that if true breeding Tall [T] plants are crossed (bred) with true breeding short [t] plants, all the next generation of plants, called F1, are all tall.

Next, he showed that self-pollinated F1 plants (or cross- pollinated with other F1 plants) produce an F2 generation with 3/4 of the plants tall and 1/4 short.

A. 1/4 of the F2 generation are short plants, which produce only short plants in the F3 generation, if they are self- pollinated (or crossed with other short F2 plants;) these F2 plants breed true.

B, 1/4 of the F2 generation (1/3 of the tall plants) are tall plants that produce only tall plants in the F3 generation, if they are self-pollinated; these tall F2 plants breed true.

C. 1/2 of the F2 generation (2/3 of the tall plants) are tall plants that produce 1/4 short plants and 3/4 tall plants in the next [F3] generation, if they are self-pollinated. This is the same proportion of tall to short that F1 plants produce.

Why does sodium hydroxide solution affect the requirements for photosynthesis?
Jet001 [13]
This is because the photosynthesis require optimum pH to be slightly alkaline. Bases, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), are necessary to raise the pH to levels that are ideal for photosynthesis to occur. 

Since, pH in soil, fresh water or groundwater becomes acidic, plant uptake and photosynthesis rates decrease.  Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) raises pH levels and can affect photosynthesis rates.

What type of epithelial tissue is specialized to stretch repeatedly without damage?
jeyben [28]
The answer to this question would be: transisional epithelium.

Transitional epithelium can be found in an organ like the bladder that needs protection but also needs elasticity as they are repeatedly stretched. In transitional epithelium. Normal epithelium wouldn't have such elasticity as they are used to protection so their structure is more rigid.
