Answer: D, It dissolves a variety of substances.

Explanation: Water is called the universal solvent becsuse it has the capacity to dissolve more substance than any other liquid.

The chemical composition and physical attributes of water made it such an amazing solvent.

The arrangement of Water

is such that it have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms—The hydrogen side has a positive electrical charge and the oxygen side on the other hand have a negative charge

What is homeostasis? How do cells use both diffusion and osmosis to help maintain homeostasis?
arlik [135]

Answer:

Osmosis is the process cells use to move water molecules in and out of the cell through the cell membrane. When cells are put in different environments they will try to maintain an equilibrium with the water concentration outside the cell. Through osmosis the cell will lose or gain water molecules to become equal to the concentration in their environment.

16. Explain why pollution caused the shift in the phenotypes of the peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution. (2pts)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.

Free palmitate is activated to its coenzyme A derivative (palmitoyl-CoA) in the cytosol before it can be oxidized in the mitocho
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are  kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.

Explanation:

  • Fatty acyl group condensed with CoA in the cytosol are first transferred to carnitine and in this process, CoA is released.
  • After this, it is transported into the mitochondrion, where it is again condensed with CoA.
  • In this way, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are kept separate, and due to this reason, no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondrion.
  • Therefore, according to the given question, the C14 CoA that is added into the liver homogenate along with palmitate shows cytosolic radioactive fraction but not mitochondrial as in the mitochondria a different CoA joins palmitate and not the one containing C14.
