The lipid components of cellular membranes often include phospholipids and cholesterol. Phospholipids is made up of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate and organic derivatives such phospho inositol and choline. Cholesterol is the component of the membrane lipid which determine the fluidity of the memebrane; it also participates in membrane singalling system.

The lipid components of the cellular membranes mainly include phospholipids, glycolipids, phosphoglycerides, fatty acid, cholesterol, and sphingolipids.

Further Explanation:

The bilayer is a structure through which the cell membrane maintains the cytoplasm inside the cell and extracellular fluid around the cell. Phospholipids are the basic foundation of the structure of the plasma membrane. In the plasma membrane, the phospholipids are present in the bilayer. The hydrophilic portion is an aqueous surrounding of the cytoplasm. The hydrophobic tail and extracellular fluid are pack inside and can easily be protected from the aqueous environment of the membrane.

Cholesterol is a kind of hydrophobic molecule that is mainly there in the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid bilayer. They are present in the core of a membrane. Fatty acids are mainly joined to glycerol and make triacylglycerides, diacylglycerides, and monoacylglycosides. Sphingolipids and Glycolipids are also present in the membrane. Sphingolipids have sphingosine instead of glycerol. They both play a significant part in the fluidity of the membrane.

Drag each tile to the correct location.

Answer:

Mitosis and meiosis are similar at the level of writing, and possess a very close mechanism; however, they do not achieve the same result!

Mitosis corresponds to a single "asexual" cell division of somatic cells (almost all cells in the body), and clones two daughter cells from a mother cell, which will be identical, and inherit exactly the same heritage genetic, indeed these two daughter cells will each have an identical karyotype (same chromosomes) and an identical genotype (same alleles) to that of the mother cell.

Meiosis corresponds to two successive "sexual" cell divisions affecting only germ cells; starting from a diploid cell (chromosomes present in pairs), meiosis leads to the formation of four gametes (haploid sexual cells, spermatozoa or oocytes) (a single copy of the chromosomes). Then, during fertilization, two gametes (each from meiosis, in the male and female) come together to form a zygote, in which diploidy will be restored.

The right answers are:

create two identical cells ==> mitosis

create four non-identical cells ==> meiosis

create haploid cells ==> meiosis

creates diploid cells ==> mitosis

occurs in all cels other tha gametes ==> mitosis

occurs in all cells related to sexual reproduction ==> meiosis

Please read the article Why Cats Have Nine Lives by Jared Diamond. Our analysis did not attempt to
kupik [55]

The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.
