Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic. The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic.

How do genetic modification variations likely to differ from genetic sexual reproduction variations

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The genetic modification variations result in the change in the genome of the organism. In this case, the variations result in expression of a trait in different form than usual. These variations results in genetic mutation, which can be inherited from one generation to another.

In sexual reproduction, the genome of the organism is not altered. In this only an exchange between the maternal and the maternal alleles takes place, these changes does not result in mutations.

Frogs have lungs for breathing, but they also absorb dissolved oxygen directly through their skin. This allows respiration to oc

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: B. Water breaks down into oxygen molecules for respiration.

Water is the required for photosynthesis, a process by which plants (terrestrial and aquatic) makes their food by utilizing water as a reactant to produce oxygen and glucose as product. The glucose act as a source of energy for conducting various metabolic processes in plants but oxygen is released in the air.

$6CO_2\ \ \ \ +6H_2O\rightarrow\ C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\\carbon\ \ \ \ water\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ glucose\ \ \ \ \ \ \ oxygen\\ dioxide$

This oxygen is necessary for terrestrial and aquatic animals for respiration. Therefore, water breaks down into oxygen by the process of photosynthesis, hence water plays important role in respiration in living beings.
