Answer:
The correct answer is : * Membrane carbohydrates function primarily in cell-cell recognition.
Explanation:
The carbohydrates (poly or oligosaccharides) associated with the plasma membrane, are covalently bound to it (to proteins or lipids). They are found in the outer part of the plasma membrane forming the glycocalix. Its main functions are:
-Cell recognition
-Support to the membrane.
Two alleles determine your blood type, one which comes from mother and another from father.
Answer:
Loss of electrons and hydrogen ions are generally involved in oxidation reactions in biological systems
Explanation:
The substrates involved in the oxidation reaction in biological systems often loss hydrogen ion detached from itself and thereafter an electron is removed. The substrates are then oxidized by the addition of oxygen to the substrates.
These processes are catalyzed by Oxidoreductases and oxidation takes place alongside with reduction.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Amphibians are not totally adapted to live on land because the aquatic environment is needed for several life processes such as </em><em>reproduction</em><em>, </em><em>respiration</em><em>, and sometimes, </em><em>feeding</em><em>.</em>
<u>The eggs of amphibians are without any protective shells and will suffer desiccation in the terrestrial environment. Hence, water is needed in order to protect the eggs. In addition, the male am</u>phibians shed their sperm in the water close to the female eggs.
<u>The young ones of amphibians are essentially aquatic and may not survive out of water for a long time because they only breathe gills</u> - the lung is yet to develop or poorly developed at this stage. They have to grow and develop to a certain stage in water before they can start surviving on land.
