Oxana [17]3 years ago

<span>I believe the answer is A. hydrophobic. Inside the biological membranes are lipids (hydrophobic) molecules. As you may know the membranes are lipid bilayers. In order to place proteins, which are polymers of amino acids, you would need to create an like-to-like environment. The R groups of amino acids will interact with this hydrophobic lipid bilayer environment and will need to display the same characteristics to keep the plasma membrane intact and not cause unwanted disruption. Therefore, R groups of amino acids in biological membranes should be hydrophobic. </span>

What effect on the evolution of mammals was caused when the continents drifted apart?
g100num [7]

The answer is similar ecological opportunities on different continents have produced some striking examples of convergent evolution.

When the Pangea continent broke apart, different continents bore varying climates hence species adapted to their environment. Convergent evolution occurred when different species gained similar anatomical features that are resourceful in the environment (continent) in which they are living. An example of convergent evolution is exhibited in bats that are mammals but have features analogous to those of birds such as wings.

Similarity and differences between a female and a male urethra
kkurt [141]
The urethra is the tube that conducts the flow of urine in both sexes from the interior of the body to the external world. In males, semen also travels through the urethra during sexual intercourse. The urethra connects the bladder, the collection site for urine to the outside world. In males, the urethra is 8 inches long, while in females, the urethra is only 2 inches long. So the primary difference is one of length. Another difference would be the path the urine takes getting from the bladder to the external world. In females, the path is more direct, while in males, the path is more curving. This curved path makes catheterization of males more difficult than females. Due to the short length of the urethra in females, infection can be a problem. Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra common in females. The passing of kidney stones is another affliction that strikes both sexes in the area of the urethra.
