The mitochondria is known as the “powerhouse of the cell." Why?*

Biology
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - glucose is broken down into cellular energy (ATP).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the double membrane cell organelle presents in all eukaryotic cells that produce the energy by the process of cellular respiration from the food to the cell to perform its day to day functions.

The cellular respiration is the process that involves the braking of the sugars into simple molecules and these catabolic reaction produce energy with CO2 and water as waste. The energy is stored in the form of ATP which is generated in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ATP is used by the cell to perform its function.

Thus, the prower house of the cell is mitochondria.

why would having both polar and nonpolar properties in a protective boundary be advantageous for the cell?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

The polar nature of the membrane’s surface can attract polar molecules, where they can later be transported through various mechanisms. Also, the non-polar  region of the membrane allows for the movement of small non-polar molecules across the membrane’s interior, while preventing the movement of polar molecules, thus maintaining the cell’s composition of solutes and other substances by limiting their movement.

Further explanation:

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties i.e. they are amphiphilic. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.

What coastal erosion feature does the arrow point to in the image below?
Sav [38]

Answer:

it was a SEA STACK.

Explanation:

A sea stack is formed from cliffs. It is a part of the cliff  that breaks off from the original structure because its connecting portion will erode and be gone due to weathering and constant barrage of waves on the cliff sides.
