Answer:

Proteins (polymers of amino acids)

Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars)

Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers)

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA; polymers of nucleotides)

Explanation:

The plasma membrane , according to the fluid-mosaic model is composed mailer of

Anit [1.1K]

Solution:

According to the accepted current theory, known as the fluid mosaic model, the plasma membrane is composed of a double layer (bilayer) of lipids, oily substances found in all cells. The fluid mosaic model was first proposed by S.J. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components —including phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates—that gives the membrane a fluid character. Plasma membranes range from 5 to 10 nm in thickness.

Thus this is the required answer.

Which statements describe thigmotropism check all that apply

Finger [1]

Description of thigmotropism is given below.

Explanation:

1. Thigmotropism is a plant’s response to touch.It is a plant’s response to an external stimulus.It can occur quickly or slowly.Thigmotropism may involve the closing and opening of plant leaves.

2. Thigmonasty or thigmotropism can be define as the response of touch shown by the plants. Here, touch is the external stimulus. It can be define as the movement of the plant parts in response to the external stimulus that is contact or touch. It is also known as Haptotropism. The plant may change it's orientation, shape and size of the plant parts.

3,The thigmotropism can be positive or negative depending upon the visual response shown by the plants. The response shown by the plants is generally fast but may be slow. This response is shown by the plants in cases of danger of herbivory.Some plants like Mimosa pudica or touch me not plant shows thigmotropism by closing their leaves on touch
