Describe the characteristics of the keratinocyte membrane that restrict water movement across the membrane. If isolated keratino

cytes are placed in a hypotonic solution for 24 hours, explain why there are likely to be far fewer cells at the end of this time than there were at the start.

Answer:

It has four layers and attach with each other with desmosome.

Explanation:

The keratinocytes are arranged in four different layers which are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, and stratum corneum. These cells are attached with desmosome which is a membrane protein. The presence of these four layers made a barrier against damage done by heat, UV radiation, water loss, pathogens etc. There are fewer cells at the end of the time as compared to the start because may be of the water pressure on the membrane or these cells for a long time.

How are proteins and nucleic acids related?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Nucleic Acids are precursor for Proteins.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed( protein units called amino acids) by the decoding of specific nucleic acids to give specific Proteins.

No nucleic acids don't provide energy, these are building block of genetic material (DNA). While Proteins provide energy.

No proteins don't carry genetic information.

Yes structure of protein is determined by nucleic acids because each nucleic acids code fir specific unit of amino acid which join to form protein.

No subunits of nucleic acids are nucleotides where as subunits of Proteins are called amino acids.

Please mark it branliest if the answer is little bit satisfying.

During photosynthesis, the light energy from the sun is captured and stored in the bonds of _____. 1. oxygen 2. water 3. sugars
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3. sugars

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, the light energy is captured by the chlorophyll and this energy is used in the formation of sugar molecules with the help of water. Oxygen is released as the byproduct of this process.

So the light energy which is captured is stored in the bonds of sugar and when this bond is broken down during oxidation the energy is released and converted into another form which is ATP and this ATP is called the energy currency of the cell. This ATP is used in many metabolic processes. Therefore the correct answer is sugar.
