Answer: b. micelles

Explanation:

Phospholipids are lipids that contain a polar part, which is hydrophilic (i.e. likes water) and a non-polar part, which is hydrophobic (i.e. dislikes water).

When phospholipids are in an aqueous environment they form a structure called micelle, in which <u>the polar heads face the water molecules and surround the non-polar tails which remain on the inside</u>. This way, the polar heads protect the hydrophobic chains from exposure to the aqueous environment.

I've attached an image of a micelle for better understanding of its structure.

What would be the best negative control to use when testing for any organic compounds
ra1l [238]

Explanation:

A similar question was asked online, here is the answer it gave:

'“Negative control” is a treatment that by definition is expected not to have any effect (neither positive effect, nor negative effect). “Positive control” is treatment with a well-known chemical that is known to produce the expected effect with the assay that you are studying. Application of an antagonist is not a negative control in your case. “Negative control” is condition that should be treated with the same solutions or buffers as your “treatment” condition, with the only difference that instead of the chemical that you investigate you should add just the solvent that was used to dissolve you chemical in the respective final concentration that you have in the “experimental treatment” condition. For example if your chemical is dissolved in DMSO – than the correct negative control will be to add to the medium/buffer just DMSO in the same final concentration that you reach with your “treatment” condition. One of the reasons of using such negative control is to verify that the solvent is having no effect in your assay. Note that among all treatment conditions (“negative control”, “positive control”, “experimental treatment you are investigating”) the volumes and the composition of the treatments that you are doing should be uniform: always treat with the same volume of medium or buffer, always containing the same concentration of the used solvent (e.g., DMSO). The only difference should be the presence or absence of the defined compound-treatments (agonist, antagonist, the chemical for the experimental investigation etc.).'

My best advice is to use the textbook you have, or use examples of a negative control when testing organic compounds because you have to find something that you can assign, like a worm in a box of dirt, the worm could have enough food to survive, so that is your negative control, but when it comes to finding the best, that would have to rely on something within the parameters of being self sufficient like a plant getting its energy from photosynthesis, etc.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Insulin > Glucagon.

Explanation:

The blood glucose level in the body is maintained by the two hormones known as insulin and glucagon. These hormones are released by the beta cells and alpha cells of the pancreas.

The insulin decreases the blood glucose level whereas glucagon increase the blood glucose level. The individual is hypoglycemic means that he has low blood glucose level in his body. At this condition, the body has high insulin and low glucagon level in the body.

Thus, the answer is Insulin > Glucagon.

What is the “transitional fish”
tester [92]

Answer:

375 million-year-old fish, a large scaly creature not seen before, that they say is a long-sought "missing link" in the evolution of some fishes from water to a life walking on four limbs on land. In addition to confirming elements of a major transition in evolution, the fossils are widely seen by scientists as a powerful rebuttal to religious

Explanation:

on closer examination, scientists found telling anatomical traits of a transitional creature, a fish that is still a fish but exhibiting changes that anticipate the emergence of land animals — a predecessor thus of amphibians, reptiles and dinosaurs, mammals and eventually humans

How do organisms get the energy they need
IRISSAK [1]
Hi there!

Great question!

There are different organisms on Earth and they all get energy differently.

For example, a plant gets its energy from the sun. The sun shines down on it, giving the plant energy to grow.

On the other hand, a wolf would get its energy from the food it eats. When the wolfs belly is full, it has more energy to run around and catch more of it!

Hope this helps! :D
