What factor drives the arrangement of the phospholipid bilayer in an aqueous environment?

Biology
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids

Explanation:

Because the phospholipid bilayer is made up of a hydrophillic head and a hydrophobic tail, the phospholipids spontaneously form a bilayer in water. This is because the hydrophobic tails are repelled by the water, meaning they retreat into one another, whereas the phosphilipid heads are attracted to water. This means the heads form the outside of the layer, and the tails form the inside of the layer.

The net primary production of a pine forest on a lava flow on Mount Fuji is about 165,000 kcal/m2/yr, and the plant respiration
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

<em>The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals</em><em> 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.</em>

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know that  

  • gross primary productivity (GPP) = energy captured and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis
  • net primary productivity (NPP) = difference between GPP and respiration rate

So, to calculate GPP we need to sum NPP to Respiration rate. This if,

NPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr

R = 95,000 kcal/m2/yr

NPP = GPP – Respiration

Then,

GPP = NPP + R

GPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr + 95,000 kcal/m2/yr

GPP = 260,000 kcal/m2/yr
