Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Membrane proteins <u>DO NOT</u> produce phospholids.                                                                                                                                                                            

Explanation:

Phospholipids are a category of lipids that are a key part of all cell membranes. They can form lipid bilayers because of their amphiphilic characteristic. The structure of the phospholipid molecule generally consists of two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" and a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group. The two components are usually joined together by a glycerol molecule.

The first phospholipid identified in 1847 by the French chemist and pharmacist Theodore Nicolas Gobley, in biological tissues was lecithin, or phosphatidylcholine, in the egg yolk of chickens. Purified phospholipids are produced commercially and have found applications in nanotechnology and materials science.                                  

Cheers!

Answer: D)

Membrane proteins produce phospholids

Explanation:

Membrane proteins in the mitochondria do more than just generate cellular energy. The proteins in the membranes of the mitochondria are complex machines in the nanoworld that mediate the oxygen-coupled generation of energy in cells. Their role in this process is not yet understood in detail.

Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of organisms: Membrane receptor proteins relay signals between the cell's internal and external environments. Transport proteins move molecules and ions across the membrane.

18) The Susquehanna River, which runs through the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland,
kirill [66]

The biodiversity will decrease due to an increase in pollution is the effect will have on the biodiversity on the river ecosystem.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Biodiversity is the actual collection of total amounts of flora and fauna present in a particular ecosystem. The river ecosystem consists of the aquatic plants, the aquatic animals like fishes,etc and even the surrounding land plants and animals, who utilize the river water for their living.

The inclusion of the polluted sewage of the surrounding area into the river directly mixes several chemicals to the water, which are potentially harmful for all the animals living there. This leads to destruction of the flora and fauna of both water and lands surrounding them. This hampers the biodiversity of the water as well as surrounding land.

Which represents a strand of RNA bases? CAAGGTCTC AGGTTCACA CAAGGUCUC TGGAACTCA.
alexira [117]

Answer:

CAAGGUCUC

Explanation:

In an RNA strand, the bases would be Thymine, Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine.

The difference in the bases between  DNA and RNA is that in RNA the complementary base of thymine is uracil, but in DNA the complementary base of thymine is adenine.
