Answer:

A. Protein A may be a cytoplasmic protein and Protein B may be a membrane associate protein.

Explanation:

According to the given information, protein A is rich in polar amino acids and consists of only a few nonpolar amino acids. This makes the protein A a cytoplasmic protein.

The cytoplasm consists of watery cytosol and the suspended organelles and other molecules. So, cytoplasmic proteins have a large number of polar amino acids so that they can adopt a stable conformation in the water-based surroundings.  

On the other hand, protein B is rich in nonpolar amino acids. Protein B might be a membrane protein. The core of the membrane is hydrophobic due to the presence of nonpolar tails of the phospholipid bilayers.

The proteins present in the membrane have nonpolar amino acids on their surfaces to make nonpolar interactions with the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids.

Explique de que forma a obstrução dos vasos da planta hospedeira pelos biofilmes de bactérias pode levar à morte progressiva das
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Os biofilmes são uma comunidade complexa de microrganismos, que pode ser composta por uma única espécie ou uma combinação de espécies. Os biofilmes são geralmente formados nas superfícies de materiais não vivos ou nos tecidos de organismos vivos; que pode estar externamente nos tecidos vivos dos organismos ou dentro dos tecidos vivos do organismo. Quando os microrganismos formam um biofilme, aumentam suas chances de resistir a anticorpos produzidos pelo organismo e aumentam suas chances de colonização completa do organismo. Algumas doenças são caracterizadas pela presença de biofilmes, que são, na maioria dos casos, a causa da doença.

<em>No caso de obstrução de vasos de plantas hospedeiras por biofilmes bacterianos; os biofilmes se formam na superfície do vaso e aumentam gradualmente de tamanho até que haja uma obstrução completa do vaso da planta. Quando o vaso da planta é eventualmente obstruído, o fluxo de materiais e minerais necessários é obstruído; levando à obstrução das células da raiz de receber materiais vitais e minerais necessários para o crescimento, isso eventualmente leva à morte progressiva das células da raiz.</em>

<h2>Answer is option "A"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Oils and fats, which in science are called lipids, are known as amphipathic molecules. These molecules have two distinct ends to them: a water-loving (hydrophilic) side and a water-fearing (hydrophobic) side. While the hydrophilic sides of a lipid will associate with the water in a solution, the hydrophobic sides of the lipid all cluster together to 'hide' from the water. Lipids therefore cluster together and form spheres where the hydrophobic sides are in the center away from the water while the hydrophilic sides are on the outside, associating with the water.
  • The ability of the atoms within a group to form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules around them makes them hydrophilic. Oxygen and nitrogen atoms readily form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, so any organic molecules that have oxygen or nitrogen atoms bound to their carbon skeletons will be hydrophilic.
  • For example, if we take the molecule for cholesterol, we see the OH group on the left is hydrophilic and will form hydrogen bonds with water, while the ring structures, which only consist of hydrogen and carbon atoms, are hydrophobic and will not associate with the water.
  • There are many different kinds of lipids with different functions. Lets start by examining phospholipids, which compose the cell membranes of animals. They form lipid bilayers, with one set of hydrophilic heads facing the exterior of the cell membrane and the other set facing the interior (as you can see on the diagram on screen). The hydrophobic portions of the lipid bilayer - the lipid tails - face towards one another, which allows them to hide away from the water inside and outside of the cell.
  • So,the right answer is option A "amphipathic molecules".
