Molecules with a relatively high lipid solubility are capable of crossing the membrane

Biology

Answer: Option B) directly through the lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Since membrane are made up of a phospholipid bilayer, with hydrophobic heads and hydrophilic tails, it permits the movement of nonpolar (organic) molecules to diffuse through it into the biological membrane. This is because they are lipophilic (lipid-loving) substances.

Examples of molecules that passed directly through the lipid bilayer are pollutants such as poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, benzopyrene etc.

Answer: option B.

Directly through lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Molecules with high lipid solubility can pass through lipid bilayer.

Lipid bilayer is a structure of the cell membrane that allow small uncharged molecules, lipid and hydrophobic molecules to pass through the cell membrane across their concentration gradient by a process of diffusion. Examples of molecules with high lipid solubility are oxygen, carbon dioxide, lipids, fat soluble vitamins e.t.c. The molecules are unionized form(lipophilic) and can diffuses readily across the cell.

How many grams of potassium nitrate (KNO3) would form if 2.25 liters of a 1.50 molar lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2 solution reacts with
nekit [7.7K]
First we must understand the balanced chemical equation:
Pb(NO3)2 + K2CrO4 ==> PbCr04 + 2KNO3

This shows us that two moles of potassium nitrate are formed from 1 mole of lead nitrate or potassium chromate solution. The next step is to find out how many moles of each reactant there are. Note the word Molar is a concentration that simply means moles per liter.

2.25L of 1.5M lead nitrate = 2.25x1.5 = 3.375 moles of lead nitrate
1.15L of 2.75M potassium chromate = 1.15x2.75 = 3.1625 moles

The important part here is to see that the number of moles of the reactants are different. We know the number of moles of products will be dependent on the number of moles of reactants, and in this case there is less potassium chromate than there is lead nitrate, so this is the limiting factor as there is a one to one relationship with both reactants. Therefore, the number of moles of potassium nitrate produced is 2 x number of moles of potassium chromate. i.e. 6.325 moles of potassium nitrate is liberated.

To work out the number of grams, we must find the molar mass (the mass of one mole) of KNO3, which is the sum of the molar mass of each of its component atoms that make up the molecule. I've looked this up as 101.1 grams per mole.

Now we simply times the molar mass by the number of moles to yield the final grams liberated: 6.325 moles  x 101.1 grams/mole = 639.4 grams of potassium nitrate is liberated from this reaction.

In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominants to green seeds, too long/yellow pea plant
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A) 300

B) 3:1

C) 9 long yellow : 3 long green : 3 short yellow : 1 short green

Explanation:

Long stems (L_) are dominant to short stems (ll)

Yellow seeds (Y_) are dominant to green seeds (yy)

We interbred pea plants with long stems and yellow seeds (L_Y_), but they had a short green parent (llyy) that could have only produced <em>ly</em> gametes, so our plants are heterozygous <em>LlYy</em>.

C) We interbred them LlYy x LlYy. If the two genes are unlinked, this is a typical dihybrid cross and from Mendel's law of independent assortment we know that the offspring will have the following phenotypic ratios:

  • 9/16 L_Y_ (Long, yellow)
  • 3/16 L_yy (Long, green)
  • 3/16 llY_ (short, yellow)
  • 1/16 llyy (short, green)

A) 3/16 × 1600 = 300 plants will be long and green.

B)

9/16 + 3/16 = 12/16= 3/4 plants will be yellow;

3/16 + 1/16 = 4/16= 1/4 plants will be green.

The ratio will be 3 yellow : 1 green
