Lipids  

Further Explanation:

Lipids are a long chain of hydrocarbons. Fat, oil and wax are some common examples of lipids. Water is a polar molecule whereas lipid is non-polar therefore lipids are insoluble in water (like dissolves like).

 

Lipids are biomolecules which are integral part of biological membranes. The structure of the cell membrane is called lipid bilayer because it is consists of two fat layers arranged in two sheets. The cell membranes are consists of a lipid bilayer which has a polar head and non-polar tail. The polar (hydrophilic) heads are oriented towards the aqueous region and the non-polar (hydrophobic) tail is oriented away from the aqueous region. The most common form of lipids present in biological membranes are phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols. The phospholipids layer of the cell membrane is arranged in such a way that the hydrophilic region is exposed to water whereas the hydrophobic tail is hidden. The cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable membrane for the entry and exit of living matters.

What organelle reforms around the chromatids at opposite ends of the cell?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Chromatids are the linearly arranged condensed structure of genetic material in the cell. The chromatids are observed after the parent cell are divided into the daughter cells.

During cell division, the cell divides, their chromosomes separate and gets accumulated at the poles of the cell. These chromatids are naked that is floating in the cytosol but the characteristics feature of the eukaryotic cell is the presence of a double membrane organelle which can protect the genetic material called the nucleus.

Thus, nuclear envelope or nucleus gets reformed around the chromatids.

Each transfer RNA requires at least four specific recognition sites that must be inherent in its tertiary structure in order for
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The options are not included.

But the sites are;

Interaction with ribosomes.

Interaction with aminoacyl tRNA

synthase.

Attachment of the specific Amino acid.

Interaction with codon.

Explanation:

Transfer RNA is a type of RNA that help to translate messenger RNA sequence into protein. Each tRNA have two major areas; the anticodon and region for attaching specific Amino acids.

tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosomes during mRNA deciding.

The four specific recognition sites of trna that must be inherent in it's tertiary structures in order for it to carry out it's role are;.

Interaction with ribosomes.

Interaction with aminoacyl tRNA synthase.

Attachment of specific Amino acid.

Interaction with codon.
