Answer:
The correct answers: A, B, C.
Explanation:
- Lipid bilayer is made of two layers of phospholipids, where each phospholipid molecule is made up of a glycerol which is attached to a phosphate group and two fatty acid chains by ester bonds.
- The phosphate groups being hydrophilic are directed towards the outside of the bilayer. The fatty acid chains (saturated or unsaturated) being hydrophobic are directed towards the inside of the bilayer.
- These fatty acid chains are not static and are capable of moving laterally in the bilayer, giving the bilayer the characteristics of fluidity.
- The fluidity is mainly provided by the presence of unsaturated (with one or multiple double bonds) fatty acid. The presence of double bonds results in the fatty acid molecules to have a bent shape and this increases the area occupied by each such unsaturated fatty acid molecule. The free area available allows the lateral movement of the fatty acid molecules.
- According to option A, long chain fatty acids tend to occupy more space within the lipid bilayer. This reduces the free space available for the movement of the lipid molecules.
- According to option B, saturated fatty acids are those which lacks any double bonds and the carbon atoms are attached by single bonds. Therefore, these molecules are straight in shape and occupy maximum area in the lipid bilayer. This reduces the space available for the free movement of fatty acid molecules, thereby making the membrane less fluid in nature.
- According to option C, cholesterol is a type of lipid molecule. They remain interspersed in between lipid molecules. At high temperatures, they prevent the lipid molecules from getting excessively fluid by filling in the gaps in between the lipid molecules and at very low temperatures they prevent the stiffening of the lipid molecules by getting associated with each other. At room temperature, they stabilise the lipid molecules between whom they remain interspersed and also reduce the free space in between them thereby reducing the lateral movement. This way they reduce the fluidity.
Vegetative reproduction is a mode of asexual reproduction naturally occurring in plants. In this process. only one of the parent is involved and the offspring is genetically identical to the parent and no sharing of DNA takes place.
Examples are: Onion, rhizome (ginger) and daffodil
Explanation:
There are meristem tissues found in the stem, root and leaves. These are undifferentiated cells and have tendency of dividing. This tissue gives rise to organs of the plant and responsible for its growth.
Natural vegetative propagation happens when an axillary bud grows into a lateral shoot and develops adventitious roots consequently forming a new plant.
Vegetative propagation can be done artificially also.
Answer:
alternating sugar (ribose) and phosphate groups also -adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C), or guanine (G).
It creates more cells and keeps a cell from becoming too large. Please mark Brainliest!!!
