The answer would be A—the molecular formula given is that of a long-chain, saturated fatty acid, which would be insoluble in water (i.e., hydrophobic).
—————————
B describes carbohydrates, which can function as a storage of energy (e.g., starch or glycogen) or structural components (e.g., cellulose). The three examples just given are polymers of glucose, a monosaccharide; monosaccharide generally have the empirical formula CH2O; this is not the empirical formula of the given molecule (and, in any case, there are too few oxygen atoms for the number of carbon atoms), and so B is incorrect.
C describes an amino acid, likely an α-amino acid, which consist of a central, saturated carbon bonded to amino (—NH2) and carboxyl (—C(=O)OH) functional groups and a variable side chain, which determines the amino acid’s properties. Since the formula of an amino acid must contain nitrogen, which the formula given doesn’t have, the molecule couldn’t be an amino acid, and so C is incorrect.
D describes nucleic acids. Examples include DNA and RNA; nucleic acids and the nucleotide monomers that comprise them contain a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The given molecule’s formula has neither nitrogen nor phosphorus, and so cannot represent an amino acid, making D incorrect.
True. if it is a true/false question the answer is True.
Answer:
I) Presence of nuclear envelope
II) Presence of membrane-bounded organelles
Explanation:
Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells possesses nuclear membrane and membrane-bound organelles. As a result, they undergo mitosis and meiosis.
Examples of organisms with Prokaryotic cell are bacteria, cyanobacteria
Examples of organisms with eukaryotic cells are green plants, fruitfly etc
The principle of faunal succession<span>, also known as the law of </span>faunal succession<span>, is based on the observation that sedimentary rock strata contain fossilized flora and fauna, and that these fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order that </span>can<span> be identified over wide horizontal distances.</span>
Answer:
Option-D
Explanation:
Casparian strips are the strips or band composed of a hydrophobic substance called the suberin which forms the ring-like structure in the endodermis of the vascular plants.
The Casparian strips are present around the vascular bundles in the endodermis to allow the uptake of the selective nutrients as the substance has to pass through the cell membrane before it enters the centre of the root or stele or vascular bundles.
The Casparian strips allow the movement of a substance through symplast mode only, therefore, is ensures the substance to pass through the cell membrane.
Thus, Option-D is correct.
