<span>phospholipids form a bilayer in water because there needs to be water both inside and outside of the cell. there is an outer layer because phospholipids are amphipathic so the polar heads form hydrogen bonds with each other and the water molecules, and the nonpolar tails are excluded and are in the middle of the micelle. then because cells have an internal environment primarily made of water, another layer forms in which the polar heads are attracted to the water molecules inside of the cell and the nonpolar tails are attracted to the nonpolar tails of the outer layer through van der waals. if you put the cell in a hydrophobic environment the bilayer would reverse

Hope this helps!

Large amounts of oxygen gas first appeared in earth's atmosphere about ______ years ago. 500,000 3.5 million 10 million 2.7 bill

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

2.7 billion

Explanation:

This period is referred to as the Great Oxygenation Event. This period saw the evolution of photosynthetic organisms (cyanobacteria) that utilized carbon dioxide (that dominated the atmosphere then) and sunlight to manufacture their energy molecules-glucose. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct that is evolved into the atmosphere. As these photosynthetic organisms proliferated on earth, the atmosphere composition changed to become partly dominated by oxygen (which is an oxidaton agent) with less and less carbon dioxide.

Which of the following correctly matches a component of the cytoskeleton to one of its functions? 1) intermediate filaments cont

kotykmax [81]

The right answer is 4).

The cytoskeleton is made up of biological polymers of proteins, sometimes called fibers because of their large size at the cellular level. They are classified into three categories:

Microfilaments: involves in cytoplasmic phenomena (division, endocytosis, migration).

Intermediate filaments: Maintenance of the nucleus structure.

Microtubules: Involved in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.

Select the true statements about the electron transport chain.

almond37 [142]

Answer: A. In the electron transport chain, a series of reactions move electrons through carriers.

B. The products of the electron transport chain are H2O and either NAD or FAD.

E. The electron transport chain is a series of oxidation-reduction reactions that occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

the best suitable statement is it transfers energy stepwise from one compound to another, The electron transport chain is a series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Electrons are transferred from one member of the transport chain to another in a series of redox reactions.
