The basic unit of the cell membrane is Phospholipid.

Option (d);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • The cells are smaller in size forms the basic unit or part in living organisms.
  • Each cell has a cell membrane that covers the cell and keeps all the contents inside.
  • The structure of this cell membrane is mainly classified into two layers of lipids or fats altogether called Phospholipids.
  • Cell membrane is also called Plasma membrane.
  • Phospholipids have a hydrophilic head, that can dissolve in water and a hydrophobic tail, that cannot be dissolved in water.

Answer:

1. Chloroplast

2. cellular respiration

3. ATP

4. C6H1206(s) + 02(g) -- CO2(g) + 6H20(I) + energy

Explanation:

This question is describing the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis occurs in the CHLOROPLAST, which is responsible for the conversion of solar energy (from sun) into chemical energy (in glucose). The general photosynthetic reaction is:

6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + energy → C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)

Contrarily, the process of cellular respiration occurs in the MITOCHONDRIA. Cellular respiration involves the breaking down of food molecules to synthesize ATP (energy) for use during biochemical reactions. The general chemical reaction is as follows:

C6H1206(s) + 02(g) → CO2(g) + 6H20(I) + energy

A person had bread and butter for his breakfast. Trace the changes in the main components of these during its passage through th
Papessa [141]

When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.
