Answer:

At lower temperature, membranes maintain fluidity by having a higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids.

Explanation:

The fluidity of the membranes is affected by temperature. At lower temperature conditions, tight packing of saturated fatty acids makes the membranes more rigid. Therefore, membranes incorporate a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids to maintain the required fluidity. This is why the membrane lipids from the tissue near the hooves have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids as the temperature of the tissues of a reindeer near extremities is lower than that of the tissues from the upper leg.

Glucose is present in blood plasma at a concentration of approximately 80 mg/dL. A typical 70 kg human has approximately 5 L blo
tester [92]

Answer: 48.93 mL of sprite

Volume of blood in 7 Kg human = 5 L

Percentage of plasma in blood = 55%

Volume of plasma in 5 L blood =  (1 L = 10 dL)

Concentration of glucose in plasma = 80 mg/dL

Amount of glucose present in 27.5 dL : 80 mg /dL × 27.5 dL= 2200 mg

Let the volume of sprite with 2200 mg glucose be x

Concentration of glucose in sprite = 44.96 mg/mL

How does DNA send it's instructions to the other parts of the cell?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:Through mRNA, the DNA is able to transmit its messages out to other parts of the cell. (Learn more about mRNA here.) Information from the DNA is coded into mRNA which leaves the nucleus of the cell DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies (the white region) and is used by ribosomes (outlined in green). hope this helps have a great night ❤️❤️❤️

The allele for brown hair (B) is dominant to the allele for blonde hair (b). Suppose two individuals with brown hair are both he
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

10 arrangements, although the parents have brown hair, they have a recessive allele for the blonde hair. The two brown heads can make a blonde or brown and or course even a red haired child. In this case the parents with dominant brown hair have a recessive blonde hair giving them a chance to have 10 arrangements to have blonde hair due to their recessive allele.

Explanation:

Heterozygous means that to have inherited different forms of a particular gene from each parent. In this case the children will inherit both brown and blonde hair genes.
