How would you describe a phospholipid?​

Biology
1 answer:
notsponge [240]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer would be Hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. Just some background info, this is located in the cell membrane and the cell membrane is made of up something called the Lipid Bilayer. The word "bi" means 2, so it comprise of 2 layers of phospholipids. These 2 layers of phospholipids are called hyrodrohpbic and hydrophilic. The word "phobic" means fear, so they hydrophobic molecules are NOT attracted to water. Hydrophilic molecules, however, ARE attracted to the molecules.

Hope this helps!

If cells are placed in a hypertonic solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable, what could happen?
finlep [7]

Answer: A

 The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve equilibrium.

This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing them to cause food spoilage.

How does recombination contribute to offspring diversity?A. It modifies chromosomes to generate new alleles of genes that code f
omeli [17]

Answer: D. It yields chromosomes that contain both maternal and paternal DNA.

Explanation:

The recombination or crossing over is a genetic process. It takes place during the Prophase I of meiosis. The homologous pair align and held together by synapsis. This results in the mixture of genes combination formed from both parents that can be represented as a single chromosome.

If the recombination do not occur then each chromosome will be either 100% maternal or paternal. Thus recombination assures the recombinant chromosomes which consists of genetic material from both parents. Thus the genetic diversity of offspring increases.
