Answer:
The polarity of the phospholipid makes it ideal for a building block of cell membranes.
Explanation:
There is the tails which are hydrophobic (water fearing) and the heads which are hydrophilic (water loving). These properties of phospholipids allow the tails to go towards eachother and heads to face the water which maintains a solid structure allowing certain materials to pass through.
Answer:
2.glucose move into chamber B faster than fructose
Explanation:
- Facilitated diffusion: refers to the transport of hydrophilic molecules that are not able to freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this <u>passive transport</u>. If uncharged molecules need to be carried <u>this process depends on concentration gradients</u> and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an electrochemical gradient. The glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.
The exposed scenario is an example of facilitated diffusion, a process that occurs in favor of the concentration gradient, and which rate depends on the concentration of molecules in each side of the membrane, in this case, glucose and fructose, among other factors that might also influence the diffusion rate. So, as the concentration of glucose is higher in chamber A (80%), and lower in chamber B (20%), in comparison with fructose, the first one will diffuse faster than fructose. The difference in concentration between both chambers is sharper in glucose, so its transport is faster than the fructose transport, which will also diffuse but at a lower rate.
Answer:
Option A) Double-stranded DNA
Explanation:
Note that the presence of thymine, a pyrimidine nitrogenous base in the genome indicates the presence of DNA.
Then, the summation of 28% adenine + 20% thymine + 35% cytosine + 17% guanine to yield 100% confirms that the DNA is double-stranded.
Thus, the structure of the viral genome is Double-stranded DNA.
