Answer:

The correct answer is a acyl-carnitine readily cross the mitochondrial inner membrane but the acyl CoA do not.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are activated to form fatty acyl CoA by the help of ATP and CoA SH.But the so formed Acyl CoA cannot cross or pass the inner mitochondrial membrane to enter the mitochondrial matrix to initiate beta oxidation of fatty acid.

To overcome this problem fatty acyl CoA is converted to acyl carnitine and the so formed acyl carnitine readily crosses the inner mitochondrial membrane and enters the mitochondrial matrix.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.

Explanation:

Isotonic environment is an environment the amount of solute concentration is equal on both side of the semipermeable membrane or the cell. in such condition there would be no water movement towards particular direction or will take place and as there is no water movement so there would be no change in shape or size of the cell. The osmotic pressure in an isotonic environment would be same on both side of the membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.

Answer:

ANSWER : a wide range of environmental conditions that shapes communities.

Explanation:

Climate can easily be described as the average weather which occurs in a place over a long period of time probably over many years. The ecosystems and habitats around the earth are shaped due to climate as particular climate can be best for the living condition of one organism but be devastating for the living of another organism. The effect of climate on living communities is such devastating that a change in climate can cause the extinction of a particular kind of species. Climate shall not be confused with weather which is day to day temperature change.

Producers are usually the first organisms listed in a food chain. They provide energy to the other organisms in the food chain.

Sliva [168]

Hi!

The answer is C. The Sun

The energy that producers get from the sun, along with water, allows them to begin photosynthesis, the process in which they make their food, because they are not able to absorb other forms of energy because they are plants.

I hope this helps!!
