Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water?

Biology
1 answer:
andrezito [222]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The phosphate portions attract water, and the lipid portions repel water

Explanation:

The phosphate parts are polar, meaning they're partially charged, so they attract water molecules, which also have partial charges. The lipids are non-polar, so they don't attract water molecules, meaning they can't dissolve in water.

Kenny has a sore throat and visits the doctor. The nurse collects a throat swab, places the swab on a petri dish, and then place
Doss [256]
The answer is C: because growth at 37°C would be ideal for revealing bacteria that are human pathogens. 37°C is equivalent to 98.6°F, the normal body temperature for humans. If bacteria are reproducing at this temperature in a petri dish, they are also most likely reproducing in the body. 

Cultures are made so doctors can be sure a person is sick with a specific bacteria often in order to make sure they are taking the right medication to get better. Choice A doesn't make sense, because we wouldn't want to kill the bacteria we are trying to study. Bacteria that makes us sick is harmful bacteria and is what we are trying to isolate. Choice B doesn't make sense, because they are only being incubated at one temperature, not a range or variety. Choice D is harder to rule out, but again the doctor wants the bacteria to reproduce so they can be sure that's what is causing the infection, so it wouldn't make sense that we would put the bacteria in a temperature they would not reproduce.

Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis is a result of the inhibition of ________. Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis i
Monica [59]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway which synthesizes glucose from non-sugar precursors. This pathway is activated in the low concentration of glucose due to less intake or completely absent to conserve energy.

This pathway is somewhat the reverse of the glycolysis when excess energy is present as a result of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis is inhibited and when no energy is present, gluconeogenesis is activated.

Thus, option- glycolysis is the correct answer.
