Answer:
Phospholipids are able to form cell membranes because the phosphate group head is hydrophilic (water-loving) while the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic (water-hating). They automatically arrange themselves in a certain pattern in water because of these properties, and form cell membranes.
Explanation:
Answer:
The atmosphere is the largest reservoir of the nitrogen as it is composed of 78% of Nitrogen. Although 78%, this is not used by the organisms directly as the nitrogen molecule exists in nature in the form of divalent joined via triple bonds.
These triple bonds require a great amount of energy to be broken and used. Only a few prokaryotic organisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the capability to break these triple bonds as they contain enzymes-nitrogenase complex which converts the atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms like ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. About 92% of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through this way rest through thunderstorms and Haber's process.
Thus, nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the answer.
Answer:
The new drug will not be effective against the treatment of cancer.
Explanation:
The drug will not be effective against the cancer treatment because the drug will inhibit the dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) but as the Ras has undergone mutation due to replacement of one amino acid, it will be constitutively expressed and the drug is not effective in stopping the Ras functioning.
Thus, Gefitinib cannot work against the cancerous cell as it is not potent to stop the functioning of mutant Ras protein.
Answer:
Egg white and amino acid solution.
Explanation:
Egg white and amino acid solution are the two foods that are used for building of body parts because they have proteins in them that is responsible for the building of muscles of in human body. There are two components of egg i.e. white and yellow part. White is the proteinic part whereas yellow parts having fats and other nutrients. Amino acid solution has amino acids which is considered as the building block from which protein is made.
