I believe the answer is 2: multiple ecosystems in a biome
Answer:
Option 1, a charged end and a noncharged end
Explanation:
Complete question
If a small droplet of ordinary fat is suspended in water, the fat molecules form a "ball of spaghetti" with no particular orientation. But if a droplet of phospholipid molecules is put in water, all the molecules point outward, toward the water. Phospholipids are forced into this orientation because phospholipids have _____
- a charged end and a noncharged end
- three fatty acid molecules, all pointing in different directions
- two fatty acid molecules pointing in different directions
- both a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid
- two charged ends
Solution
The structure of phospholipids consists of the following groups and molecules –
a) A glycerol molecule
b) Fatty acids (2 in numbers) – It is hydrophobic as it is uncharged and non polar in nature
c) Phosphate group (with alcohol) – It is hydrophilic as it is negatively charged and polar in nature.
When the phospholipids are placed in water, the molecule rearranges itself in a way that the hydrophobic head face inside and the hydrophilic head face outside thereby forming micelles.
Hence, option 1 is correct
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Energy sees a 90% decrease as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat during the transfer of energy.
<u>Answer:-</u> <em>Option C </em>- evidence that microorganisms cannot grow in boiled broth when new organisms were not allowed to enter.
<u>Explanation:-</u>
- <em>Theory of spontaneous generation</em> stated that the living organisms can be created from non living matter. However, this theory was disapproved and replaced by the <em>cell theory</em> which stated that all living organisms are created from cells and new cells arise from pre-existing cells.
- There were several experiments conducted by various scientists to disapprove the theory of spontaneous generation however, the experiment that was most successful to do so was the one conducted by <em>Louis Pasteur</em> in 1859.
- <em><u>Description of the experiment:-</u></em>
-In his experiment, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask (it was known that boiling the broth kills the micro organisms) and then heated the neck of the flask to bend into a S- shape.
The purpose of the S shaped neck was to allow the air to enter into the flask but not the micro-organisms as the micro organisms will settle by gravity in the neck and not reach into the flask.
<em>observations of the experiment</em> :-
1. Pasteur observed that even though the air entered the flask no micro organisms were growing in the flask.
2. Further,when he tilted the flask so that the broth came in contact with the part of the neck where the air borne microorganisms could have settled he was able to observe microbial growth in the flask.
These observations laid the theory of spontaneous generation to rest and proved that <em>organisms can only grow in the presence of pre-existing cells </em>which in this case were the microorganisms.
