The answer would be adaption or evolution in the animal kingdom
The statement above is true. Plants contribute to precipitation through the process of transpiration. This is because this process is a naturally occurring behavior of plants where water evaporates from the plants' leaves that are carried through plants from the roots.
Fat is less soluble in water compared to phospholipids.
This is because, fat is made up of three molecules of fatty acids which are not polar in nature at all, thus they mixed very poorly with water.
Phospholipids on the other hand has its molecules divided into two distinct regions, the head and the tail region. The head region is hydrophillic and it is polar in nature, that is, it mixes well with water. The tail region is made up of the fatty components and it is hydrophobic.
Because of this difference in structure, phospholipid will dissolve better in water.
Options
A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functional
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
C. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysis
D. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain
Answer:
B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained
Explanation:
The proton motive force (PMF) provides the needed pump to generate electrochemical gradients of proton needed for continue influx into the matix of the mitochondria. The proton Influx generates the energy needed by protein ATPase Synthase for synthesis of ATPs by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP to give ATP.
ADP + Pi -----------→ ATP.
If the mitochondria;l intramembrane leaks, then the PMF can not be sustained, therefore electtrochermical gradient which supplies the energy for ATP synthase for ATP synthesis will not be available. Therefore ATP synthesis stops.
Ionic bonds result when electrons are tranfered between atoms. Covalent bonds result when valence electrons are shared between atoms. You should be able to identify whether an ionic or covalent bond is being formed between atoms.
