Answer: The cell membrane is a bilayer of lipids composed mainly of lipids and proteins.

Explanation: A cell is the functional unit of life. A cell is usually surrounded by the cell membrane. A cell is composed of different organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome, each also surrounded by a membrane and these organelles are suspended in the fluidy part of the cell know as the cytoplasm.

A cell membrane is a thin lining that surrounds the cell and encloses the cytoplasm. It is made up of two layers of lipids in which proteins are embedded. Cell membranes allow the selective passage of materials into and out of the cell.

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-gly
stira [4]

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-glycine-alanine. This change was most likely caused by a point mutation called a <u>substitution</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any protein is synthesized by joining a number of amino acids together. This amino acid is placed based on the sequences of the DNA , for every 3 sequence there is an amino acid that is synthesized and therefore it is called as a triplet codon, since there may be many sequence for a single amino acid we call it as degenerate codon.

Please help me How do the biotic factors vary within an ecosystem and why?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Biotic factors are just everything living (bio-) in an ecosystem. So they're bound to vary in every ecosystem, based on the biome, climate, other food sources available, et cetera.

Do you see flamingoes in the forest? No, you say? Well, they're living; they're biotic factors. They aren't in a forest or a jungle ecosystem because that's not their habitat and they don't thrive there.
