Which of the following statements about lipid processing is/are correct? Choose all that apply.

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Sphingomyelin and glycolipids are precursors of ceramide.

Glycolipids are sugar molecule(s) attached to a membrane lipid.

Ceramide can be made into either sphingomyelin or a glycolipid depending on what enzyme encounters ceramide first.

Sphingomyelin is a phospholipid made in the Golgi.

Explanation:

Simple sphingolipids are the ceramides. Glycolipids, a large group of sphingolipids, contain one or more molecules of sugar (glucose or galactose).

Lipids that are synthesized in the ER (not in the RER) are cholesterol and ceramide which is further converted to either glycolipids or sphingomyelin in the golgi apparatus. Ceramide can then get sent to the Golgi, where it can be converted into either glycolipids or the only non-glycerol-based phospholipid, sphingomyelin.

SER (not RER) is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including cholesterol and phospholipids, which are used in the production of new cellular membrane.

A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while savin
FromTheMoon [43]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.

C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.

D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

Answer:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

Explanation:

In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.

Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.

Which of the following would be considered a quantitative observation
Eduardwww [97]

A descriptive observation may very well be a mixture of both quantitative and qualitative as it can utilize elements of both types. Qualitative deals with the kinds of observations that cannot be measured in numerical form. Quantitative data is just that.
