James is making models of plant and animal cells using objects supplied by his teacher to represent organelles. For one cell, he

will place the objects in a shoebox. First he fills a balloon with water and places it in the shoe box. He also drops a handful of marbles into the box. Which statement most likely describes the structures he has represented so far?(A) He is making an animal cell. The box is the cell membrane, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. The marbles are the endoplasmic reticulum.(B) He is making a plant cell. The box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. The marbles are the tiny ribosomes.(C) He is making a plant cell. The box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the nucleus. The marbles are the centrioles.(D) He could be making either a plant or animal cell. The box is the cell wall, and the balloon represents the large vacuole. The marbles are the centrioles.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option B.

Explanation:

Plant cell shows distinguishing features from the animal cell which can be easily observed like:

1. Shape: Plant cell is usually rectangular while the animal cell is circular.

2. Membrane : Plant cell posses two layers- outer cell wall and inner plasma membrane while the animal cell only plasma membrane.

3. Vacuole: plant cell contains a single large vacuole whereas animal cell contains small vacuole if any.

4. Ribosomes: plant cell posses more free cytoplasmic ribosomes while animal cell contains more attached ribosomes.

On the basis of this, we can predict that James is preparing a plant cell with balloon shoeing large vacuole and marbles as ribosomes.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails then a hydrophilic l
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

"As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through <em>a hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads".</em>

Explanation:

Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans.

Lipids characterize for being amphipathic molecules, which means that they have both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion at the same time. These molecules have a lipidic head that corresponds to a negatively charged phosphate group, which is the polar and hydrophilic portion. They also have two lipidic tails that correspond to the hydrocarbon chains -the apolar and hydrophobic portion- of the fatty acids that esterify glycerol.

Membrane lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane.

Through this lipidic bilayer, some molecules can move from one side of the cell to the other, which happens because of concentration differences. When this occurs, molecules must pass through the hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then through the hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then again through another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads.

What are the differences between plant and animal cells​
Zina [86]

Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Cell walls provide support and give shape to plants. Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not.

Hope this helps :)

Alex73 [517]

The correct option is D.

The Taiga biome, which is also known as the coniferous forest has been described as the largest terrestrial biome because it extends across some continents of the world. The biome typically has short summers, which can be very wet and winters, which are long and can be very cold. The majority of plants in taiga biome are conifers and these plants are described as ever green because they remain green all year round.

If Johns used cars has 612 cars and 49 trucks , what percentage of the vehicles on Johns lot are trucks ?
oksian1 [2.3K]

The answer is 7.4%.

Percentage of trucks on the lot is equal to the ratio between the number of trucks and the total number of cars.

  • Number of trucks ÷ Total number of cars
  • 49 ÷ (49 + 612)
  • 49 ÷ 661
  • 7.4%

What are some reasons why common names are insufficient for naming animals? answer in a short paragraph form and include at leas
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Scientific names of animals use both the genus and species name, which is much more specific than common names, and gives more information.

For example, using the name cat just tells us that the animal is a cat

however, the scientific name felis catus, tells us that the species is catus and the genus is felis
