Answer:
The correct answer is : * Membrane carbohydrates function primarily in cell-cell recognition.
Explanation:
The carbohydrates (poly or oligosaccharides) associated with the plasma membrane, are covalently bound to it (to proteins or lipids). They are found in the outer part of the plasma membrane forming the glycocalix. Its main functions are:
-Cell recognition
-Support to the membrane.
This is because,
If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.
Answer:
Water can hydrogen bond.
Explanation:
Liquids become gases once they are heated to a certain temperature. Heat is a form of energy. This change occurs when the intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules are energized enough to break. This breakage is necessary because gaseous molecules exist individually and do not interact with one another. That being said, it takes more heat to boil water because its intermolecular forces are stronger than methanes.
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are a result of partial charges on the molecular atoms that cause temporary bonds to form between molecules.
Methane is a nonpolar molecule, meaning each atom can only have slight partial charges. The strongest IMF methane participates in are London Dispersion Forces.
Water, however, is a polar molecule, with the hydrogens having strong partial positive charges and the oxygens having strong partial negative charges. This allows water to participate in a very strong IMF called hydrogen bonding. Again, because these partial charges are so strong, the water molecules can form stronger IMFs.
<u>*When molecules have stronger IMFs, they require more energy(heat) to overcome them.*</u>
Answer:
CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG
Explanation:
Changes occur in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule. These changes referred to as MUTATION are usually due mistakes during DNA replication or induced by mutagens (mutation-causing substances). Mutation can be of different types depending on the kind of change that occured to the nucleotide sequence. Based on this question, one of the mutation types is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.
Substitution mutation is a kind of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base replaces another in the sequence.
The option that suits an example of substitution mutation is: CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG because Guanine nucleotide replaces Cytosine nucleotide in the third CODON i.e. TAC becomes TAG.
