Answer:

Hydrophobic Properties

Explanation:

Lipids and water do not mix. The contents of cells in the larger proportion is the cytoplasm, this is made up mostly of water. The lipids serve as a barrier; the contents that are distributed in a watery medium will not be able to mix. This is due to the hydro-phobic or water "hating" capacity of lipids.

How is it possible that over 20 million living organisms on the planet are made up of only 5 types of nucleotide based arranged
almond37 [142]

Answer/Explanation:

The DNA in all living organisms is made up of 4 bases, adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine. The RNA replaces thymine with uracil, making 5 types of nucleotide. The number of nucleotide pairs in a genome can range from half a million up to 100,000 million - meaning there are an exponential number of combinations of these 4 bases.

Imagine an organism exists that has only 2 nucleotides (<u><em>this is over 200,000x smaller than even the smallest bacterial genome</em></u>). If we allow any nucleotide at each of the 2 positions, then we have 4x4 (4²) or 16 possible combinations of sequences. For a nucleotide length of 4, the total number of possible combinations are 4⁴ or 256.

Since we are dealing with many millions of nucleotides, there are essentially infinite combinations of nucleotides, giving rise to the variation that produces over 20 million organisms on the planet.

You incubate isolated intact mitochondria in a buffered solution containing succinate (an oxidizable substrate) and ADP plus Pi.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

No Oxygen will be consumed, and there will also be no ATP production.

Explanation:

No Oxygen will be consumed, and there will also be no ATP production.

The blockage of  the binding of Oxygen with cytochrome C enzyme occurs, and this greatly decreases the cellular uptake of oxygen.

Therefore, in the presence of cyanide, ATP production is inhibited due to blocked oxygen utilization.
