What property makes phospholipids ideal building blocks for cell membranes?

Answer:

The polarity of the phospholipid makes it ideal for a building block of cell membranes.

Explanation:

There is the tails which are hydrophobic (water fearing) and the heads which are hydrophilic (water loving). These properties of phospholipids allow the tails to go towards eachother and heads to face the water which maintains a solid structure allowing certain materials to pass through.

Answer:

They have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

Explanation:

Phospholipids are organic compounds that consist of two fatty acid hydrophobic tails and a phosphate hydrophilic head.

These properties help in the regulation of the cellular processes. The hydrophobic tails which is non polar doesn’t react with water while the hydrophilic heads help in interaction with water.

This helps in the movement of particles in and out of the cells and stratification of the cell membrane.

Answer:

A. a lamp being turned on

B. a toaster being used to toast bread

D. a car horn honking

Explanation:

Energy transformation is the conversion of one form of energy to another form in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. According to this question, Phil is observing a flashlight, which turns chemical energy (batteries) into light energy.

From the examples given in this question, the following are examples of scenarios that involve energy transformation:

- A lamp being turned on: This converts chemical energy to light energy.

- A toaster being used to toast bread: This converts electrical energy to heat energy.

- A car horn honking: This converts electrical energy to sound energy.

Note that, melting of a chocolate does not transform any form of energy.

Genotype. A human being's genome is made up of approximately 3 billion base pairs which make up about 2000 genes. Individuals, however, differ slightly in the sequence of their DNA in some regions. This unique genome identity is the indivudual genotype. Sequence of DNA in a genome can nowadays be determined through sequencing using Next Generation Sequencing machines
