Answer:
c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids
Explanation:
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:
- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.
- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.
Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>
In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.
Answer:
9:3:3:1
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color respectively. The first gene posseses allele T (dominant) and t (recessive) while the second gene possesses allele P (dominant) and p (recessive).
According to this question, two heterozygous tall and purple flowers are crossed i.e. (TtPp x TtPp). Each parent will produce the following gametes combination:
TtPp - TP, Tp, tP, tp
Using these gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:
T_P_ (tall, purple) = 9
T_pp (tall, white) = 3
ttP_ (short, purple) = 3
ttpp (short, white) = 1
Hence, the ratio of this cross is 9:3:3:1
Answer:
No
Explanation:
It is a divergent boundary but you will not see the mantle because the water will soften the rock in the mantle.
