Why do lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is the second option. Lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells because lipids (fats) are not soluble in water. This means that lipids and water do not mix... This lipid bilayer helps to protect the cell.

They form barriers so the second option is right because lipids are hydrophobic meaning they don’t mix with water

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The process in which a solid changes directly to a gas is called sublimation. It occurs when the particles of a solid absorb enough energy to completely overcome the force of attraction between them. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, CO2) is an example of a solid that undergoes sublimation.

Which of the following best defines molar heat capacity? Group of answer choices The quantity of heat required to raise the temp
motikmotik

Answer: The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a substance by 1K

Explanation:

As the temperature change is same in all scales of temperature.

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius or one degree Kelvin or one degree Fahrenheit is called the heat capacity.

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by one degree Celsius one degree Kelvin or one degree Fahrenheit is called as specific heat capacity.

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of substance by one degree Celsius or one degree Kelvin or one degree Fahrenheit is called as molar heat capacity.

Which of the following substance is being reduced in the following reaction.? Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) + 2Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq) A)
nikklg [1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

For the given chemical reaction:

Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

Oxidation half reaction: Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized.

Silver ion is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
