Which of the following is true regarding membrane asymmetry? Carbohydrates attached to membrane lipids are usually found on the

cytosolic side of the membrane. A flippase causes lateral diffusion to occur very rapidly. Lateral diffusion occurs very slowly. Transverse diffusion occurs very quickly. Phosphatidylserine occurs predominantly on the inner leaflet of membrane bilayer.

Answer:

Option E, Phosphatidylserine occurs predominantly on the inner leaflet of membrane bilayer.

Explanation:

Membrane asymmetry is basically the difference between two layer of the bilayer in terms of physical properties and composition.

This membrane lipid asymmetry is important for signal transduction  and cell homeostasis.  

Outer monolayer consists of phospholipids with choline  and polar  heads such as phosphatidylcholine while the inner layer has terminal primary amino group known as phospatidylserine. Cholesterol is distributed throughout the two monolayers.

Hence, option E is correct

Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of a polar molecule.
GarryVolchara [31]
The bond between one carbon atom and one oxygen atom is polar but due to the fact that there is another oxygen attached to the carbon which has the same electronegativity value as the oxygen on the other side, the effect of polarity is canceled. CO_{2} is non-polar because the oxygens symmetrically alligned on the opposite sides of the carbon cancel the polarity effect.

Zinaida [17]

Answer: i- fraternal or dyzygotic twins

ii- monozygotic twins

Explanation: dyzygotic twins develop when two separate oocyte are fertilised by two different spermatozoa. They are also referred to as nonidentical or fraternal twins. They can be of the same or different sex.

Monozygotic twins develop when one oocyte fuses with one spermatozoa and splits into two after fertilization. These twins are also known as identical twins as they will be of the same sex and have the same gene, blood groups and physical features. They may be of different sizes and often have very different personalities and characters.

Recall that photosynthesis consists of two sets of chemical reactions. Which of these describes the energy conversions that occu
jarptica [38.1K]
<h2>Chemical energy</h2>

Explanation:

Chemical energy describes the energy conversions that occur during the light-independent reactions

  • Photosynthesis is completed in two reactions namely light reaction and dark reaction
  • Light reaction is the light dependent reaction which means that there is direct role of light
  • It oxidizes water,release oxygen and generates high energy compound such as ATP and NADPH(all the reactions are completed in thylakoid membrane)
  • Dark reaction is the light independent reaction which means there is no direct role of light
  • It utilizes carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates and consume ATP and NADPH for synthesis of carbohydrate(Calvin cycle)
  • All reactions are completed in stroma
  • Fixation of one carbon dioxide molecule requires 3 ATP,2 NADPH,2 water molecules and 8 photons
