Lipids and carbohydrates differ in which of the following fundamental respects?

Biology
1 answer:
Schach [20]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Carbohydrates are hydrophilic  whereas Lipids are hydrophobic.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be most commonly understood as hydrates of carbons. They generally contain more than two carbon atoms and are easily soluble in water, thus giving them the characteristics of hydrophilic compounds. Sugar and glucose are some of the important examples of carbohydrates.

On the other hand, lipids comprise a polar region, which attracts water and a much larger non-polar region, which repels water. This non-polar region dominates the polar region of lipid molecules thus making it a hydrophobic compound. Oils, fatty substances, steroids, and waxes are some of the important examples of Lipid molecules.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "Uncovered meat that had contact with air".

Explanation:

In 1668, the Italian scientist Francesco Redi performed a celebrated experiment to prove that maggots are not spontaneously created by placing fresh meat in each of two different jars: one opened and one covered with a cloth. Redi used an uncovered meat that had contact with air as a control, expecting that flies will come in and the maggots will be developed as they do in nature.

Cells with a full set of chromosomes are referred to as diploid or 2n, whereas cells with half the chromosomes are haploid or n.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  • Diploid → Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase
  • Haploid → Telophase

Explanation:

During prophase I,  chromosomes get condensed. Each of the chromosomes gets in pair with its homologous one. They do so to make the crossing-over possible, a stage where they interchange their parts → 2n

During metaphase I, each of the homologous pairs is driven to the equatorial plane, where they randomly line up → 2n

During anaphase I, occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair → 2n  

In telophase I, half of the chromosomes are already in one of the poles, while the other half is on the other pole. Each group of chromosomes has now half the number of the original cell. The nuclear membrane forms again in each pole → n

Finally, occurs cytokinesis, which involves the invagination of the cell membrane and cytoplasmic division.

The two new cells are ready for meiosis II.
