Which is a general property of cell membranes? a) Membranes contain more lipid than protein. b) Membrane proteins have a polar head and a non-polar tail. c) Membrane lipids are amphipathic. d) Membranes contain covalent bonds between fatty acids

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c) Membrane lipids are amphipathic.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the structural, fundamental, biological and functional unit of life. Cells are found in all living organisms because they are the basic unit of life.

In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles. Some examples of cell organelles found in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoskeleton, vesicles, golgi apparatus, and cell membrane.

Cell membrane is the wall of a cell and typically controls what leaves and enters the cell.

A general property of cell membranes is that membrane lipids are amphipathic. All the lipid molecules found in the cell membrane are amphipathic or amphiphilic, which means that they are "water loving" (hydrophilic) with a polar end or "water fearing" (hydrophobic) with non-polar end. Thus, membrane lipids have an end that's soluble in water (polar) while the other end is soluble in fat (non-polar).

Answer 2

The membrane lipids are amphipathic.  

• In the majority of cell membranes in animals, lipids, that is, fatty molecules forms about 50 percent of the mass of the cell.  

• All the molecules of lipid in a cell membrane are amphipathic, that is, they possess a polar end or hydrophilic and non-polar end or hydrophobic end.  

• The phospholipids are the most abundant lipids found in the cell membrane.  

• They have a polar head group and two hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails.  

• It is the amphipathic nature and shape of the molecules of lipids, which makes them to produce bilayers spontaneously.  

Thus, correct answer is option c, that is, membrane lipids are amphipathic.

mL of water. However, after measuring the water formed in the reaction, the
student determined that only 110mL of water was actually formed. What is the
percent yield of this reaction?

Answers

Answer:

88%

Explanation:

percent yield is the actual yield divided by the theoretical (predicted) yield, then multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.

110/125 = 0.88

If the volume is 500 mL, the mass of air is 60g (molar mass of air= 29g/mol), and the temperature is 0 C, what is the pressure inside the bottle?

Answers

Answer:

The pressure inside the bottle is 92.678 atm.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P * V = n * R * T

In this case:

P= ?V= 500 mL= 0.500 Ln= 60 g* [tex]\frac{1 mole}{29 g}[/tex] = 2.07 molesR= 0.082 [tex]\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}[/tex]T= 0 C= 273 K

Replacing:

P* 0.500 L= 2.07 moles* 0.082 [tex]\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}[/tex] * 273 K

Solving:

[tex]P=\frac{2.07 moles* 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} * 273 K}{0.500 L}[/tex]

P= 92.678 atm

The pressure inside the bottle is 92.678 atm.

A. Antibiotic resistance can sometimes be shared among bacteria.

B. Mutation can cause antibiotic resistance.

D. Antibiotics killing bacteria while allowing mutated bacteria to live is an example natural selection.

Explanation:

Identifying: Archaea have cell walls that lack peptidoglycan and have membranes that enclose lipids with hydrocarbons rather than fatty acids (not a bilayer). ... Bacteria: cell membrane contains ester bonds; cell wall made of peptidoglycan; have only one RNA polymerase; react to antibiotics in a different way than archea do.

Hope this helps, I reported some answer that was absurd, not applicable, incomplete and confusing

Mutation can cause antibiotic resistance, Bacteria that become resistant are an example of evolution. Antibiotics killing bacteria while allowing mutated bacteria to live is an example natural selection The correct options are B, D, and C.

What are archaebacteria and bacteria?

Archaea, like bacteria, lack interior membranes but have a cell wall and swim with flagella.

Archaea differ from bacteria in that their cell wall lacks peptidoglycan and their cell membrane contains ether linked lipids rather than ester linked lipids.

The dispersion of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is a simple and elegant example of natural selection at work.

Bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance through mutations that alter antibiotic cellular targets or by acquiring dedicated resistance genes from other bacteria.

Antibiotic resistance can be caused by mutation; bacteria that become resistant are an example of evolution. Natural selection is demonstrated by antibiotics killing bacteria while allowing mutated bacteria to live.

Thus, B, D, and C are correct options.

What are tides?

Tides are the cyclic deformation of water body occur due to external gravitational force.

NEAP tides are also known as small tides as their heights are not very much and this is occur due to opposite attraction of water towards the gravity of the sun and moon. As sun and moon are present in the right angle direction with respect to the earth.

Hence, option (1) & (2) is correct, i.e. gravity of sun and moon is opposite and they are present at the right angle to the earth.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1.5 moles to molecules

1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

1.5 moles = 6.02 x 1.5 x 10²³ molecules

= 9.03 x 10²³ molecules

2 )

Convert 1.204x10²⁴ molecules to moles

6.02 x 10²³ molecules  = 1 mole

1.204x10²⁴ molecules = 1.204x10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³ moles

= 2 moles

3 ) Convert 1.5x10^20 molecules to moles

6.02 x 10²³ molecules  = 1 mole

1.5x10²⁰ molecules = 1.5x10²⁰ / 6.02 x 10²³ moles

= .25 x 10⁻³ moles

= 2.5 x 10⁻⁴ moles .

4 )

Convert 0.35 moles to molecules

1 moles = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

.35 mole = 6.02 x .35 x 10²³ molecules

= 2.1 x 10²³ molecules.

5 )

Convert 15 moles H₂O to atoms

1 moles = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

15 moles = 15 x 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

= 90.3 x 10²³ molecules of water

1 molecule of water has 3 atoms in total

90.3 x 10²³ molecules of water  = 90.3 x 3 x 10²³ atoms

= 270.9 x 10²³ atoms .

6 )

0.75 moles CaSO₄ to atoms

1 moles = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

.75 moles = .75 x 6.02 x 10²³ molecules of CaSO₄

= 4.515 x 10²³ molecules of CaSO₄

1 molecule of CaSO₄ = 6 atoms

4.515 x 10²³ molecules of CaSO₄ = 6 x 4.515 x 10²³ atoms

= 27.09 x 10²³ atoms .

Answer:

The answer depends on what you are taking about: the outer core or the inner core?

Answer: Mantle

Explanation:

If you find a picture of the Earth's layers, you can see that the inner core is the bottommost layer.  However, if you combine the Inner Core and Outer Core, that could be determined as the Earth's core.  

I would chose the Mantle because if the two cores are combined, the layer directly above them is the Mantle.
