Mucus, saliva, would be natural barriers to infection.

Newborns are much better protected against (or immune to) potential illnesses and diseases than you might otherwise think. This is because during pregnancy, disease-fighting antibodies made in the mother’s immune system are able to make their way across the placenta and into her baby’s body. Fortunately, these antibodies stick around for several months and are able to give newborns an added level of protection from many routine illnesses during this important time when they are not as able to effectively make their own antibodies.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, proteins. RNA functions to transform the directions found in messenger RNA into the chain of amino acids, which forms the proteins. Thus, the ribosome is accountable for the production of proteins.

Legumes, a type of plant, require Rhizobia, a type of soil bacteria, to survive since these organisms fix nitrogen during photos
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The answer is: the legumes will extinct, too.


It is known that plants cannot directly use atmospheric nitrogen. But, some legumes have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that live in their root system. These bacteria are called Rhizobia and have the ability of nitrogen-fixation. In the root nodules, they use atmospheric nitrogen to convert it into ammonia, and later to ammonium, which can be used by plants. When legumes die, nitrogen from their remaining is released back to the soil where it is available to the other plants.

So, if <span>Rhizobia suddenly became extinct, the symbiotic relationship between will be interrupted. The legumes will not be able to use atmospheric nitrogen without the help of Rhizobia, and eventually, they will extinct, too.</span>

How can carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins be detected in foods?
tino4ka555 [31]
The Benedict’s Test is the test which can detect carbohydrates and glucose in foods. During this process, the sample or the food is placed into a test tube and then some drops of Benedict's solution is added to it,and is then put into a beaker of boiling water. When the mixture of food and the Benedict substance turns reddish orange instead of staying blue, this means that it is positive. The mixture has simple sugar or has carbohydrates or glucose. On the other hand, lipids are tested using the brown paper test. When the paper turns transparent when a drop of food is put into it, it means that is is positive as well. When you want to test if the food has proteins, you have to test it with Biurets. Observe if the color change when you put some Biurets solution to the food sample. It is positive if the food turns light purple. Test if the food is positive with starches through the use of iodine. Food having iodine drops should turn purple instead of staying a yellow color.

Which description accurately describes the cell membrane?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

Explanation:

B is correct as the cell membrane is selectively semi-permeable. It is selectively semi-permeable because this quality allows it to control what can and can't enter the cell, and how it does so.

The cell membrane also has a phospholipid bi-layer comprised of a double layer of phospholipids which have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This is because the heads are made of phosphate and are polar and are therefore attracted to water (hydrophilic), while the tails are made of lipids (i.e. fats, oils) which do not mix with water and are therefore hydrophobic.

The properties of each phospholipid is also why they form the double layer structure, the hydrophilic heads naturally face outwards into the water and protect the hydrophobic tails on the inside.

Hope this helped!
