In chemistry class we learn the rule "like dissolves like" when studying why polar substances dissolve in each other (like sucro

se in water) and why non-polar substances dissolve in each other (like fats in oil). Which of the following statements illustrates this rule?
a. Ribosomes are found inside of prokaryootic cells rather than outside.
b. Prokaryotes lack a nuclear membrane while eukaryotes have one.
c. More prokaryotic cells could fit inside a 1-cm cube than eukaryotic cells could.
d. Transmembrane proteins remain in the plasma membrane even though they are not attached to anything.
e. Chemical messengers or hormones bind tightly to their receptor proteins on the outside of a cell.

<h2>The correct answer is: d.</h2>

Explanation:

  • As per the question, the correct answer is to be chosen from the given options that is identical to the logic given in the statement of the question that is, "like dissolves like".
  • Polar molecules can get dissolved in water because they are hydrophilic or water-loving in nature. They have such functional groups in their structure which have the capability of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules, hence get dissolved in water.
  • Non-polar molecules can get dissolved in non-polar solvents like fats and oils because either of them are hydrophobic or water-hating in nature. They have such functional groups which can form hydrophobic and Van-der-Waal's forces of interaction with each other , hence they get dissolved in non-polar solvents.
  • Polar and non-polar substances are unable to get dissolved in each other because the polar molecules are incapable forming hydrophobic or Van-der-Waals forces of interaction with the non-polar molecules and the non-polar molecules are incapable of forming hydrogen bonding with the polar molecules.
  • Trans-membrane proteins are those which remain integrated in the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and spans across the membrane forming a connection between the cell interior and the cell exterior.
  • They are required for transporting small polar molecules and ions across the plasma membrane.
  • The lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane is otherwise impermeable to the movement of polar molecules and ions due to the hydrophobicity of the lipid molecules.
  • The trans-membrane proteins are amphipathic molecules, that is, they are made up of both polar and non-polar amino acid residues.
  • These amino acid residues are such arranged in the structure of the proteins that the non-polar amino acids face towards the lipid molecules in the bilayer thereby forming hydrophobic and Van-der-Waals forces of interaction with the lipid molecules.
  • The polar amino acids face towards the channel or lumen formed by the protein across the lipid bilayer so that they can form hydrogen bonds with the polar molecules and ions which are transported across the plasma membrane.
  • Hence, like interacts with like.

If no ATP is present in the muscle cell what would be the likely result?
Elden [556K]

Answer: c. The myosin would not be able to let go of the actin

Explanation:

Muscles consists of two proteins called actin and myosin and responsible for muscle contraction.

Myosin is ATP dependant and when ATP binds to it, it is able to release the actin.

This will allow the actin and myosin to seperate from each other thus leading to muscle contraction

White rabbits blend in with the snow. Brown rabbits are more likely to be eaten by predators. Is the population of rabbits in ge
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Yes, the population of rabbits is in genetic equilibrium because both white and brown rabbits have equal chances of survival throughout the year. During the winter season, the brown rabbits stand out and are likely to be eaten by predators, but during the summer, white rabbits stand out and are likely to be eaten.
