Answer:

Cerebrosides

Explanation

Cerebrosides belong to a group of sphingolipids called glycosphingolipids. they are also commonly known as monoglycosylceramides because they contain only single unit of monosaccharide (that commonly is galactose) that is linked with ceramide.

Function:

They have very important role in nervous system because they are part of a group of lipids that are crucial component of biological membranes as well as regulators of their function.

Any problem associated with proper working of cerebrosides can cause cause organ dysfunctional diseases in humans.

Please see figure of cerebrosides in figure attached.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

Step 1: Pollination

In general, male gametes are contained in pollen, which is carried by wind, water, or wildlife (both insects and animals) to reach female gametes. The pollen is deposited on a plant's stigma, which is part of the pistil (the elongated part of a flower extending from the ovary). This process is called pollination.

Step 2: Germination

Within a few minutes, pollen tubes begin growing, or germinating, toward the egg cell. These tubes will provide a path for the sperm carried in the pollen to reach the egg.

Step 3: Penetration of the Ovule

The pollen tubes penetrate the ovule, which contains the female gametes.

Step 4: Fertilization

Sperm travel down the pollen tubes and fertilize an egg. Most angiosperms undergo double fertilization, where both an egg and the polar nuclei in the embryonic sac are fertilized.

A 10-7 is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is

marishachu [46]

Answer:

$66 * 10^8$ CFU/mL

Explanation:

Given -

a) Number of colonies of bacteria is equal to $66$

b) Total volume of the solution is equal to $0.1$ mL

c) Dilution factor is equal to $10^{-7}$

As we know that

CFU/mL $= \frac{N * DF}{V}$

Where N is the number of bacterial colonies, DF is the dilution factor and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

CFU/mL $= \frac{66* 10^7}{0.1} \\= 66*10^8$
