Q9. A SimCell has a special membrane that is permeable to alcohol but not to water. This SimCell contains 20% alcohol and 80% wa

Answer:

The SimCell will expand due to net movement of alcohol into the cell

Explanation:

Since the SimCell is only permeable to alcohol and not water, only alcohol can move in and out of the cell. Hence, if a SimCell that contains 20% alcohol and 0% water is placed in a solution containing 40% alcohol and 60% water, there would be a net movement of alcohol from the surrounding solution into the SimCell till equilibrium concentration of alcohol is established between the SimCell and the surrounding solution.

<em>Therefore, the SimCell will expand due to the net movement of alcohol into the cell.</em>

o-na [289]

Answer:

For a couple of decades, biologists knew the nucleus contained DNA and proteins. The prevailing opinion was that the genetic material was proteins, and not DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are more complex than DNA. This is because:  <u>proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA.</u>

Explanation:

Protiens have a greater variety of three dimensional forms than does the DNA

Protiens contain one or more polypeptides which are usually arranged in one of the following structures :

1)Primary structure

2) Secondary structure

3) Tertiary structure

4) Quaternary structure

These structures are maintained by Hydrogen bonding , Hydrophobic interactions , Disulphide bonds and ionic bonds )

DNA on the other hand is a double stranded molecule containing only hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases and the covalent bonds within nucleotides. It is much simpler than protiens.

What fills in the need in the stream/ocean for salmon to have cold, clean and clear water
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>The salmon is among the most revered of coastal animals, for its cultural and spiritual importance to First Nations, its world-famous tasty flesh, and its role in the historical economy of BC. The most common salmon in our local waters are Chum and Coho. All Pacific salmon species are anadromous, meaning they spend most of their life in the ocean but migrate to fresh water to breed. Consequently they interact with several different ecosystems, and play important roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine food webs.</span>

In guinea pigs, black fur (b) is dominant over white fur (w). You have a black guinea pig, and want to try to determine its geno
kompoz [17]

The genotype of the guinea pig that you would want to mate it with the black one is ww, which is also a white guinea pig, as all white guinea pigs must have the genotype ww as w is recessive to b. Also, make sure you know that the black guinea pig should have the genotype of bx, where x is either b or w.

So, if you mate the black guinea pig with the ww guinea pig (white), the offsprings will either be all black, or half black half white.

If the offsprings are all black, you can be sure that the black guinea pig (parent) will have the bb genotype. As each offspring must receive one gene from each parent, so if all the offsprings have black fur, they must have one b gene from the black guinea pig.

On the other hand, if the offsprings are half black half white, the genotype of the black guinea pig (parent) should be bw. This is because in order to have white offsprings, each parent must pass on a w gene so that the offspring would have genotype ww, white.
