Answer:

The right answer is (B) the extracted lipids cover twice the surface area of the intact red blood cells.

Explanation:

To explain this statement is necessary to take into consideration the structure of a lipid. On the first place lipids that form membranes are called phospholipids, this means they have one 'head' that is hydrophilic and a tail composed by the lipidic chain that is hydrophobic.

In a biologic context, the phospholipids form the cellular membrane. They do so by a bi-layer disposition, meaning that one the external side of the cell there is a layer of phospholipids with the hydrophilic head and in the internal side, there is a second layer of phospholipids with the hydrophilic head. The hydrophobic 'tails' are in the middle. This disposition is due to the fact that both the external and the internal environments are water based.

Therefore, since each cell has a bilayer membrane of phospholipids, when the cells are dissolved and all the lipids that used to form the membrane are put together, they will occupy twice the surface of the red blood cells.

Define mitosis. how does it differ in plants and animals

Greeley [361]

Mitosis is a type of cell division which results in two daughter cells which have the same number and kind of cells as the parent nucleus. Mitosis is used to replace worn out cells and for growth. In plants, a new cell was is built between the daughter cells, while in animals the cell membranes constrict and pinch the parent cell into daughter cells.

In the cell cycle which phase follows S phase, or DNA replication ?

ella [17]

Interphase

Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.
