Inorganic compounds can be reduced by microbes either for biosynthesis (assimilatory reductions) or for energy metabolism (dissi

milative reductions) purposes. What is the role of the inorganic compound that is reduced in dissimilative reductions?
Biology

Answer:

The main role of inorganic compound in microbes is the generation of energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP) that is required for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.

Explanation:

Inorganic compound are those in which carbon atom is absent. Many microorganisms especially bacteria, use inorganic compound such as ammonia, hydrogen, ferrous and sulfur etc for the production of energy that is used in different processes and activities such as reproduction and growth.

6. Cell membranes are primarily composed of a double layer of phospholipids. Why are phospholipids particularly
Andrews [41]

Answer:

B i hope this help

Explanation:

The cell membrane consists primarily of a thin layer of phospholipids which spontaneously arrange so that the hydrophobic "tail" regions are shielded from the surrounding polar fluid, causing the more hydrophilic "head" regions to associate with the cytosolic and extracellular faces of the resulting bilayer. This forms a continuous, spherical lipid bilayer approximately 7 nm thick, barely discernible with a transmission electron microscope.

The arrangement of hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads of the lipid bilayer prevent polar solutes (e.g. amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and ions) from diffusing across the membrane, but generally allows for the passive diffusion of hydrophobic molecules. This affords the cell the ability to control the movement of these substances via transmembrane protein complexes such as pores and gates.

Identify which type of natural selection is described in each case below.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Results in the evolution of the species: Directional selection

Results in new species: Disruptive selection

Favors traits at the two extremes: Disruptive selection

No increase in diversity: Directional selection

One extreme trait is favored: Directional selection

Diversity decreases: Stabilizing selection

Diversity increases: Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Directional selection which is also known as positive selection is known to be a mode of natural selection. In this type of selection, an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. This makes the allele frequency to move in the direction of that phenotype and this takes place over time.

Disruptive selection (known to be diversifying selection) talks about the certain changes in the population genetics whereby extreme values of a particular trait are favored over intermediate values. This results in new species.

While Stabilizing selection is a natural selection whereby there is a stabilization of the population mean on the particular value of a non-extreme trait. Here the diversity is decreases.
