Active transport

requires energy. This is because it is going against the natural process of diffusion. Substances diffuse when their net movement is down the concentration gradient (from higher concentration to lower). Active transport is movement from lower concentration to higher. Cytosis (phagocytosis , pinocytosis) also requires energy.

Which of the following statements about phospholipids is TRUE? A Option A: Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol b

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol backbone is bonded to a small polar group.

Explanation:

Phospholipid is a unique form of lipid. The bonding of the glycerol backbone to the polar phosphate group makes phospholipid to have dual solubility unlike general triglycerides.

The polar head is said to be hydrophillic that is water loving, while the two carbon chains that retained lipid features are hydrophobic water hating.

Therefore if a phopholipid is placed in water, in relation to its functions as component of cell membrane, it forms a bi-layer in which the water loving portion hydrophilic head points into the surrounding watery medium, while the hydrophobic layer points inwards far away from the watery medium into the internal cellular layer to form an impermeable barrier to hydrophilic (polar) substances.

This forms the basis of the phospholipd bilayer of the cell membrane. And it controls the permeability of the cell membrane to influx substances into the cells.

Based on your knowledge of how the greenhouse effect works, why does the level carbon dioxide affect the global temperature?

miv72 [106K]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere prevents long wave radiation from leaving the earth and in the process, it raises global temperatures.

Greenhouse gases helps to maintain the fair balance in temperature on the earth surface.
They keep the temperature of the earth in balance by preventing it from losing all of the heat it gains.
Radiation from the sun reaches the surface as short wave radiations.
When they get absorbed and re-emitted, they produce long wave thermal radiations.
In the atmosphere, the radiations are cut off and causes warming due to their interaction with greenhouse gasses there
When the amount of these gases in the atmosphere become more than normal, more heat becomes trapped.
This leads to an anomalously high surface temperature on earth.

Which respiratory-associated muscles would contract or relax during forced expiration, for example blowing up a balloon?

Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is B, internal intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles would contract.
Exhalation is the flow of the breath out of the body. During forced exhalation, internal intercostal muscles contracts which lower the rib cage and decrease thoracic volume, while the abdominal muscles push up on the diaphragm which causes the thoracic cavity to contract.

how would you answer a person who says that the geologic column gives support for an earth that is at least 4.6 billion years ol

liubo4ka [24]

The geologic column is a graphic representation of the layers of rock that make up the earth’s crust. By compiling data from local areas, scientists have constructed a composite picture of the earth. Evolutionists would have us believe that this is also a picture of the 4.5 billion year history of the earth. Using a bit of circular reasoning, the geologic column is used as support for biologic evolution, which is then sometimes used to confirm the order of the layers in the geologic column.
