What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?

Biology

The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.

Which action explains how a somatic cell mutation can harm an organism
wel

Somatic mutations are acquired after birth in non-reproductive cells. These changes occur in only certain cells of the body and can be caused by tobacco use, ultraviolet radiation, viruses, chemicals and age. Acquired mutations are the most common cause of cancer.

Humans experience many somatic mutations over a lifetime, and the human body is normally able to correct most of these changes. This is why there is only a small chance of one mutation causing cancer. It normally takes many mutations over a lifetime to cause cancer. This is why older people are the most likely group to get cancer, as they have had more chances for mutations to build up.

A cell is placed in a solution that is hypotonic to the cell. Which of the following best describes movement of water in this si
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

C. Water will flow into and out of the cell, but the overall net movement will be into the cell.

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of water outside the cell is higher than inside the cell and the concentration of the solute is lower than inside the cell, therefore, water will flow in and out of the cell but the net movement of water will be from area having higher water concentration to lower concentration.

That means the net movement of water will be into the cell if a cell is placed into the hypotonic solution. Water moves in and out of a cell by the process called osmosis which is a type of diffusion.

This movement of water into the cell will swell cell and the cell can burst if it is not protected by a cell wall. Therefore the right answer is C.

In most animals, the ______ state of the life cycle is much larger than the ______ state.
Leokris [45]

In most animals, the Diploid state of the life cycle is much larger than the Haploid state.

<h3>What is the difference of haploid and diploid?</h3>
  • Diploid guides to the number of complete chromosome set present in each cell of an organism: diploid cells contain two complete sets. Haploid organisms, on the different hand, only have one complete chromosome set. Chromosome sets can be altered in meiosis, and sometimes in mitosis.
  • Humans are diploid, and most of the body's cells contain 23 chromosomes couples. Human gametes (egg and sperm cells), however, contain a single set of chromosomes and are told to be haploid.
  • Haploid refers to the existence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism's cells. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from per parent). In humans, just the egg and sperm cells are haploid.

To learn more about : Haploid.
