Answer is D. The phosphate group of membrane lipids are negatively charged.
The cell or plasma membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids. The two phospholipids layers are opposite to each other. Each phospholipid molecule consists of a phosphate group and a lipid. The phosphate form inner and outer layers of hydorphilic and are negatively charged 'heads' and lipid forms the tail, hydrophobic and non-polar. Since phosphate is negatively charged it repels negatively charged molecules and do allow them to pass through it.
The answer that best completes the statement above is this: <span>toddlers maintain a capacity to discriminate language sounds they have never heard. This is considered to be one of the best evidences for language acquisition. This is based on CPH or the Critical Period Hypothesis. This states that in the first years of life, humans use this time in order to develop language and readily use this but at the age of 5 and beyond, language acquisition becomes more challenging and difficult.</span>
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. The sequence of DNA determines the structure of lipids, which produce phenotypes.
B. The sequence of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which produce phenotypes.
C. The sequence of DNA determines the structure of phosphates, which produce phenotypes.
D. The sequence of DNA determines the structure of carbohydrates, which produce phenotypes.
The answer is B.
Explanation:
DNA is the genetic material found in the genome of living organisms. DNA holds the information needed for the synthesis of useful products in an organism. DNA contains segments called GENES that encodes the biological molecule, PROTEINS, which is responsible for the trait exhibited by organisms.
An example of trait in humans is human color, which is encoded by DNA. However, this DNA does not directly produce hair color in humans but the information held in it undergoes expression to produce protein called MELANIN, which is responsible for the hair color trait. Hence, the sequence of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which produce phenotypes (hair color).
Only the non-covalent bonds like hydrogen bonds which give it's functional shape.
