<span>Well, since there is little genetic variation, all the animals in the population are fairly similar, from a purely physical standpoint. Therefore, if there was some new form of whale lice that kills northern right whales, then presumably at least nearly 1/3 of the population would be vulnerable to this new form of whale lice. This is over simplified, but in essence a huge portion of the population is much more vulnerable to a single threat due to common disease resistances, or the lack thereof.</span>

The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane as consisting of
Hoochie [10]
The answer is e, as in terms of d, proteins are not sandwiched between the two bilayers, but wedged in the bilayer to selectively let in different molecules. With c, phospholipids do not drift, into the membrane, for it is the membrane itself. With b it is the other way around, the phospholipid bilayer makes up the membrane, and proteins are embedded into it. Lastly, for a, a fluid mosaic model wouldn’t portray phospholipids drifting in the dark phospholipid bilayer, as they are an independent molecule consisting only as the cell membrane. Hope that’s helpful! :)

Plants use sugars as
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

a fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material for making other organic molecules.

Explanation:

Plants have the ability to produce sugars by the process of photosynthesis. Plants can convert the inorganic CO2 from the air into the organic nutrients such as sugars. Plants store sugars so that they can serve as a source of ATP for the cells as and when required. The sugars enter the process of cellular respiration and are oxidized into CO2 and H2O. In addition, the energy of chemical bonds of the sugars is used to form ATP molecules.

Plants also use sugars to synthesize other organic molecules. For example, several intermediates of Kreb's cycle can serve as precursors for the synthesis of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together to form different proteins.
