Biology

Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Minerals are not organic compounds, and carbs and lipids do not repair/grow cells (lipids are primarily used to store energy and insulate/protect the body and carbs provide a short boost of energy).

Proteins

Protein is a nutrient used to make and repair our body cells (like blood and muscle cells). About 1/2 of your dry body weight is protein. If you do not eat enough carbohydrates, protein will be changed to carbohydrates so that you can get energy.

Which of the following is not a possible consequence of surface mining?
aleksklad [387]

Answer;

B. improved ecosystem health

Explanation;

-Surface mining is a method of extracting minerals near the surface of the Earth. The three most common types of surface mining are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying.

-The environmental impact of mining includes erosion, formation of sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by chemicals from mining processes.The environmental effects of surface mining include;

  • Habitat destruction
  • Soil erosion
  • Air pollution from dust particulates
  • Pollution (especially from sediments)
  • All surface mining techniques negatively affect the environment, though some methods are more damaging than others.

Explain how and when the rule of multiplication and the rule of addition can be used to determine the probability of an event. E
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Addition used for 'either or' events , Multiplication used for 'and' events

Explanation:

Addition is used when Probability is of 'one event <u>or</u> other event'

Multiplication is used when Probability is of 'one event & other event'

Ex : Probability of A winning = 0.4

Probability of B winning = 0.3

Probability (A or B winning) = 0.4 + 0.3 = 0.7

Probability (A & B winning) = 0.4 x 0.3 = 0.12

Which of the following is the correct format for an MLA in-text citation for an article with no known author?
fgiga [73]
<span>The correct format for an MLA in-text citation for an article with no known author is A. ("Title" page). The "Title" is the shortened title of the work. It is in lieu of the author's name. The quotation mark that encloses the title is used when the work is a short work like an article. If the work is a long one like books, plays, etc. The title is italicized instead of enclosed in quotation marks.</span>

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.
