Answer:
The presence of cholesterol in the plasma membranes of some animal cells <u>enables the membranes to stay fluid when cell temperature drops</u>.
Explanation:
Cholesterol is an essential lipid in the basic structure of cell membranes. The membranes must have a fluid structure so that the proteins integrated in them can move ''horizontally'' to interact with their ligands and with other proteins. With excess saturated fat the membranes become rigid, but only with the necessary unsaturated fat the membranes are extremely fluid, and very sensitive to changes in temperature. Cholesterol stabilizes the structure of the membranes; preventing the collapse and crystallization between lipid chains that would lead to loss of fluidity and excessive rigidity in the membrane. By decreasing the temperature; as temperatures drop, fluidity decreases, an effect that partially counteracts the presence of cholesterol.
Ground water is water which is located below the soil surface and contained in the pore spaces of bedrock, sand, gravel, and other such materials.
the researchers concluded that more water probably exists deep within the Earth than is present on Earth's surface—as much as five times more.
Most ground water originates from precipitation that soaks into the ground. The ground water system as a whole leads the water in the general direction of the ocean.
The water table is the surface where the water pressure head is equal to the atmospheric pressure. It may be conveniently visualized as the "surface" of the subsurface materials that are saturated with groundwater in a given vicinity.
Answer:
A. community - the fish, frogs, insects, and aquatic plant species that live in a particular lake
B. individual - a groundhog living in your backyard
C. ecosystem - all of the species of plants and animals and the non-living resources in a tropical forest
Explanation:
A community is defined as a group of populations of two or more different species which inhabit the same area at a certain time.
Individual is defined as one type of organism.
Ecosystem includes communities, the environment, the non-living or abiotic conditions and their influence on living organisms.
I believe the answer would be B where the condensed chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
Answer:
3.dominant alleles more frequent than recessive alleles
Explanation:
To achieve hard-Weinberg equilibrium, certain conditions must be made.
These conditions are:
1. There is noo mutation,
2. Existence of random mating,
3. There should be no natural selection
4. There is the infinite population size
5. No migration
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option 3, which is not a condition to be made for Hard-Weinberg equilibrium
