A. They live for only 120 days is correct. They are created in the bone marrow and destroyed in the spleen "red blood cells graveyard"

B. They have multiple Nuclei. Red blood cells don't have a nucleus but some can present structures called Jolly's bodies that are small pieces of the nucleus that they lost in the differentiation process

C. They only live for only about 20 days. No, red blood cells live for about 120 days

D. Once created in bone marrow, they circulate for our lifetime. Again, they have a limited lifetime

What are the lipids that contribute to the structure and function of the cell membrane?
siniylev [52]

Solution:

Phospholipid lipids is that contribute to the structure and function of the cell membrane.

Lipids all have one thing in common - they do not mix well with water. You can see this quite well if you try to combine oil and water. No matter how much or how hard you shake them together, they remain separated. This can be useful for organisms. For example, ducks produce lipids in their feathers, allowing the water to roll right off their backs and helping the ducks stay afloat.

Phospholipids are made up of two fatty acids (long chains of hydrogen and carbon molecules), which are attached to a glycerol 'head.' The glycerol molecule is also attached to a phosphate group, and this is the hydrophilic part of the molecule. The 'tail' ends of the fatty acid chains opposite the glycerol is the hydrophobic part of the molecule

The most important function for a phospholipid is to form the phospholipid bilayer. In this bilayer, the phospholipids are arranged so that all the hydrophillic heads are pointing outward and the hydrophobic tails are pointing inward. This arrangement comes about because the areas both outside and inside your cell are mostly water, so the hydrophobic tails are forced in.

THis is the required answer.

Genetics is the most important factor that affects your physical fitness.<br> a. True<br> b. False
faltersainse [42]
<span>This is false. Everyone is unique in this aspect and although genetics can help you, or make life harder, it also falls down to personal behavior and habits. There are no genetics that can save you from constant overeating and there are no genetics that can prevent you from working out, at least to your possible extent.</span>
