Answer:
C)The luminal side of the thylakoid membrane has a higher pH than the stromal side.
Explanation:
During the photophosphorylation, the electrons move through many electron carriers which allow the transport of hydrogen ions in the luminal side against the concentration gradient. This allows the increase in the Hydrogen ion concentration to the luminal side of thylakoid membrane and reduction in the hydrogen ion concentration of the stromal side.
Therefore due to the increased concentration of H⁺ ions in lumen during the photophosphorylation, the lumen has a lower pH than the stroma. During photophosphorylation, the pH of lumen decreases up to 4 and the pH of stroma increases up to 8. So the false option is C.
Answer:
The statement that best represents a function of lipids within an organism is that they are components of cell membranes.
Explanation:
Lipids are biomolecules formed by the binding of fatty acids, important for structure, compound synthesis and energy reserve.
In living beings, one of the most important functions of lipids is to be the main component of cell membranes.
Specifically, phospholipids associate to form a double layer, called lipid bilayer, capable of acting as a semi-permeable membrane, due to its non-polar or hydrophobic character. In this way, <u>membrane lipids fulfill a structural and protective function of the cell and its contents</u>.
Regarding the other options:
- <em>Proteins are made up of amino acids, not lipids.
</em>
- <em>Lipids are not constituents of the DNA structure.</em>
Answer:
The osteoblasts, which should have been building the new bone
Explanation:
Bones are the one of the types of connective tissues and have hard extracellular matrix. Osteoblasts are the cells that serve in formation of extracellular matrix of bones as these cells secrete collagen fibers and inorganic salts present in the matrix of bone. Hence, if a bone is not able to heal after fracture, osteoblast cells should be checked for their activity.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The stratosphere is the layer of the earth’s atmosphere which is above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.
The stratosphere contains about 90 percent of the ozone layer. The stratosphere is made up of ozone layers which helps in the absorption of about 95 percent of the ultraviolet rays from the sun and converting to heat.
This is the reason why depletion of the ozone layer found in the stratosphere gives rise to global warming.
There's the cumulus, stratus, the cirrus and the nimbus.
