Answer: The correct answer is-

b.the hydrocarbon tails.

A phospholipid molecule comprises of a head group (that contains polar phosphate molecule) that is hydrophilic ( water attracting groups due to formation of hydrogen bonding or ionic bonds with water molecules) and two tails of fatty acid ( which are hydrophobic that is water repelling groups).

In this question, a single layer of phospholipid coats the water in a beaker. This means that head group of this layer is in contact of water ( present in the beaker) and the two fatty acid tails of hydrocarbon ( that are water repelling) are facing air.

Thus, option b) is the right answer.

The part of the phospholipid molecule that will face the water, as it is labelled to be hydrophilic would be the polar phosphate group. The correct response would be A.

What is the most appropriate method to prepare a sample of cheek cells for PCR?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Extraction of genomic DNA

Explanation:

Resuspend the cells(any number), smaller numbers also work, in 10-20 ul of TE buffer or milli Q water. boil for 5-10 min in a waterbath, quick chill, short spin. use the supernatant as a template for PCR.

If cells are very less, u can directly add cells to the PCR reaction without enzyme,boil for 5-10 min in a waterbath, let it cool slowly, short spin. Add enzyme to the supernatant and start the reaction at extension step followed by normal PCR reaction steps.

How can a water strider (aquatic insect) walk across the surface of the water? *
nirvana33 [79]

D surface tension because, adhesion is sticking, b makes no sense for this question, and heat has nothing to do with it either, because it distributes it's weight throughout its legs so it doesn't sink (it doesn't weigh much so this works.)

Hope this helps don't forget to hit that heart :)

Which best describes how waste is secreted in each system
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The digestive system excretes a solid waste, and the excretory system excretes liquid waste.

Explanation:

The digestive system is the system of the body that breaks down food substances to enhance so that they can absorb them. But it also excretes solid indigestible substances. For excreating, they use the defecation process.

Excretory system, on the other hand, is a system in the body that removes homeostatic wastes from the body by using a process which is called excretion. Excretory includes organs such as liver, sweat glands, lungs. Among this, the liver plays a critical role in the secretion of homeostatic wastes in the form of fluids.

The excretory system collects and then filters excess water which is present in the body and then excretes it as a liquid waste either from the liver, kidneys, or sweat glands on the skin through sweating.
