Which feature of a cell prevents water from entering the cell

Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is hydrophobic tails of lipid bilayer forming cell membrane.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is the specialized structure which forms the outer boundary of the cell and controls the entry and exit of substances into the cell thus, determining the nature of its contact with environment.

The cell membrane structure consists of amphipathic phospholipids with two components arranged in a manner:

1. Hydrophilic "head" region- made of phosphate molecule interacting with aqueous side or the intracellular (cytosolic) and extracellular faces

2. Hydrophobic "tail" regions- made of fatty acid chains away from the surrounding water.

This, results in the formation of lipid bilayer.

Thus, the hydrophobic tails of lipid bilayer prevents water from entering the cell.

11. Who suggested that peppered moths were an example of natural selection?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

J. W. Tutt suggested that peppered moths were an example of natural selection.

Explanation: Before industrial revolution, the population of white peppered moth is high as compared to dark peppered moth because white peppered moth can't be seen at night by the birds. After industrial revolution, sooth is spread on the surface of the trees which make easy for the bird to see white peppered moth and feeds on them. Population of white peppered moth decreases while the population of dark peppered moth increased because they cannot be seen in the dark due to black color of sooth.

identify the subcellular structure of the neuron that forms the basis for the transmission of nerve impulses. (2 points) describ
melisa1 [442]

The subcellular structures of neuron that forms the basis for transmission of nerve impulses are the synaptic vesicles.

What are the steps in impulse transmission between neurons?

  • The action potential or nerve impulse reaches the <u>axon</u> of neuron and depolarises the membrane.
  • Voltage gated Calcium channels open .
  • Arrival of action potential causes the synaptic vesicle to attach to presynaptic membrane.
  • Calcium influx triggers release of neurotransmitter.
  • This neurotransmitters bind to postsynaptic membrane and new impulses are created.

Synaptic vesicle under resting condition:

  1. The neurotransmitter molecules are stored in synaptic vesicles.
  2. If the neurotransmitter leak from the vesicles, they are destroyed by enzymes.
  3. During resting condition, they are placed randomly.
  4. When an impulse reaches the axon, vesicles are arranged in the presynaptic membrane.

Thus from the above we can conclude that, synaptic vesicles are the subcellular structures in transmission of nerve impulses and , under resting condition they are placed randomly.

Plant cells __________.
quester [9]

Answer: Option B) have mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Plant cells have mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Explanation:

Unlike animal cells, plants cells possess mitochondria and chloroplasts. Mitochondria serves as site for respiration giving off oxygen as by-product while chloroplasts are site of photosynthesis, where sugar molecules are formed from simple inorganic molecules like atmospheric carbon dioxide, water and sunlight trapped by chlorophyll.
