Refer to Animation: Fluid Mosaic Model. Although the phospholipid molecules can be in constant lateral movement, they very rarel

y flip from one side of the bilayer to the other. Which of the following could explain this?A. The head groups are too large to fit between the interior fatty acid tails. B. The cholesterol keeps the phospholipids on the correct side. C. The molecular attraction between the fatty acid tails is too strong. D. The head groups are repelled by the hydrophobic membrane interior.

Answer: option D

Explanation:

Although they can be in constant lateral motion. The lipid bilayer membrane is so organized in the sense that the hydrophilic heads which might contain some polar or molecules that can mix with water faces both the cytosol and the outer environment while the hydrophobic tails of both layers that are entirely insoluble in water faces one another thus forming a core that repels mixing. This it is very rare for the possibilities molecules to flip.

You must pack food that has high concentrations of fat and protein. Food like granola bars and canned meat are a good source of energy and heat. This is because the body breaks this food down easily converting it into usable energy. Though some people would suggest that you pack food that are high in carbohydrates, fats and proteins are long-term sources of energy that you would need for your hiking trip.

Each biological species is genetically isolated from other species. why do the species evolve independently?
Nookie1986 [14]
Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.

Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.

Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the function of NADPH and ATP in the Calvin cycle?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The correct option is A. They provide the energy required to build high-energy sugars.

Explanation:

Calvin cycle can be described as the series of dark reactions of the process of photosynthesis.

During the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is reduced to glucose. The molecules of NADPH and ATP play an active role in this reaction to occur. The molecules of ATP serve as a source of energy. Whereas, the molecules of NADPH serve as a reducing agent. Electrons are added by NADPH so that carbon dioxide gets converted into glucose.
