How do phospholipid molecules lead to the compartmentalization of a cell?

1 answer:

5 0

The phospholipid molecules will spontaneously assemble into a phospholipid bilayer when they are added to an aqueous environment that consists mostly water. Phospholipids form all membrane in the cell, the membrane is separate inside from the outside of an organelle, that is phospholipid membranes are what form the compartments that we know of as organelles.

Explanation:

Random distribution of the Isopods should be 50/50 in A and B.

Chi-square = $\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}$ where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency

Chamber O E Chi-square

A 18 10 $\frac{(18 - 10)^2}{10}$ = 6.4

B 2 10 $\frac{(2 - 10)^2}{10}$ = 6.4

Total Chi-square = 6.4 + 6.4 = 12.8

Degree of freedom = 2 - 1 = 1

Tabulated Chi-square (α = 0.05) = 3.8415

The calculated Chi-square exceeds the critical value, hence, it is significant and not due to random.

The correct option is c.

Well, many organisms would die. Plants need light so they would die out rather quickly. The surrounding area would warm up initially due to the green house effect, but would eventually cool down.

Which statement best describes the process of chemiosmosis and the direct result of its occurrence?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Chemiosmosis is the diffusion of diffusion of hydrogen ions (protons) across a biological membrane via ATP synthetase (a transport protein) due to a proton gradient the forms on the other side of the membrane. Chemiosmosis is one of the processes by which ATP is synthesized. In Eukaryotes, it take place in the mitochondria during cellular respiration and in the chloroplast during photosynthesis. The process is called chemiosmosis because the chemical ions move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane, just like water molecules.
