The term used for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called Osmosis
Answer:
The "short tail" dominant allele is easier to eliminate by selective breeding.
Explanation:
The only way for a recessive allele to be expressed (be visible) is when it appears as recessive homozygotic. These means the organisms need to have 2 copies of the gene. Selective breeding is based on the characteristics that one can see, so if the organism shows the "dilute" phenotype you can keep reproducing this individuals and get rid of the dominant allele.
On the other hand if you have a population with the dominant phenotype, you discard all the ones that have a recessive trait and you breed the dominant phenotype you could still get individuals with the recessive phenotype and individuals that express the dominant phenotype but are heterozygous.
Answer:
It starts with sugar, or C6H12O6 being broken down.
Explanation:
Also, as seeing that it is the only macromolecule here and because of the fact that glycolysis uses glucose, or sugar, your answer is B, sugar.
Answer:
The correct statement concerning the cell membrane lipid molecules is that "energy is not expended during diffusion" (Option d)
Explanation:
Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, and their hydrophobic tails against each other. Membranes are fluid, which means that molecules that form it have the capability to move through it.
Lipids can easily change places with other neighbor lipids by <u>lateral diffusion</u> in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.
Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer, but this kind of movement is not as easy as lateral diffusion.
There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.
Through this lipidic bilayer, there is also a passive transport of some particles from one side of the cell to the other which happens because of concentration differences.
Answer: B
Explanation:
They inject their DNA into the cell, which reprograms that cell to become that virus. This is why viruses are so deadly and can spread throughout the body and to others easily, and efficiently.
