Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water

Biology
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]2 years ago
8 0
Phospholipids will form a bilayer in water because they contain hydrophobic (Water fearing.. in this cause water "hating") tails and hydrophilic heads (water loving). So they form a bilayer to remove the tails from water likewise, this satisfies the hydrophilic heads because they are still exposed to water.

Type II topoisomerases display all of the following characteristics EXCEPT
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "They only introduce supercoiling and cannot relax a covalently closed circular DNA".

Explanation:

Type II topoisomerases are enzymes that regulate the winding an unwinding of DNA during DNA replication. Basically, these enzymes are the scissor that remove the knots and tangles formed during the replication process. Is false to affirm that type II topoisomerases only introduce supercoiling and cannot relax a covalently closed circular DNA. Bacterial type II DNA topoisomerases  work with the circular DNA of bacterium by changing the linking number of circular DNA by ±2.

Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer to your question is <u>All of the above</u>

Explanation:

Science is observable, testable, and flexible. This is shown when doing an experiment. First you observe something, test, then record. When new information or evidence comes in, Science is flexible enough to allow changes to the topic's existing evidence or add on to it.

You are given a 1 liter bacterial culture in exponential stage of growth. The generation time of the bacteria is known to be 30
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by 2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

<u>Initial population</u>

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

<u>Generation time</u>

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have- <u> </u>\frac{300}{30}= 10 generations

<u>New bacterial population</u>

Using formula<u>  </u>2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria

2^{10} x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

When RNA is processed in the nucleus and made ready for transfer out into the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, which of the foll
IRISSAK [1]
Answer:
Letter E - exons are cut from the strand and removed

Explanation:

Letter A and B are incorrect because the poly-A tail and guanine cap are added to the 3’ and 5’ end respectively. They aid in translation of the mRNA, while serving as protection. The poly-A tail is repeated adenine nucleotides, while the guanine cap is a modified guanine nucleotide.

Letter C is incorrect because alternative splicing is one mechanism for generating variation, and is thought to be one of the reasons for why humans have smaller genomes than other organisms and still maintain high complexity. Alternative splicing is incredibly important because it produces more than one transcript from a pre-mRNA.

Letter D is incorrect because introns are the non coding portions of the mRNA. They are excised to make a smaller mRNA transcript, and one that contains all the protein genes.

This letter E is the correct answer, because exons are the coding portions of the mRNA, and are not excised during RNA processing.

Hope that helped! If I made a mistake, please let me know.
