what lipids make up the cell membrane? how many layers does it hare? what are the functions of the cell membrane?

Answers

Answer 1
phospholipids, 2 layers. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It consists of the lipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
Answer 2

The Cell membrane is a continuous double layer of lipid molecules in which membrane proteins are embedded. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and serves to separate the cell's interior from the outside environment. A semipermeable lipid bilayer forms the cell membrane. The cell membrane controls the flow of materials into and out of the cell.

The cell membrane is mostly made up of lipids, specifically phospholipids. Phospholipids are made up of two hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails and a hydrophilic (water-loving) head. The hydrophilic head has a phosphate group that attracts water, whereas the hydrophobic tails have fatty acid chains that repel water.

The cell membrane primary roles are  Selective permeability, Maintaining cell integrity,  Cell signaling, Cell adhesion, Cell recognition.

Which of these activities are ways people degrade commons? Select the two correct responses.
A. Farmers allow livestock to overgraze federal pastureland.
B. Rangers limit the number of visitors to a nature preserve.
C. Rangers allow native plants to grow unchecked in a park.
D. Hunters hunt a valued species to extinction.
E. Politicians protect the habitat of an endangered species.

Answers

The correct answer is option , A and D

Here, the word common refers to the “Earth” and “its precious resource”. If a farmer allows overgrazing of pastureland, the land gets exposed to extreme weather condition and thus easily get eroded which could even lead to desertification. Also when a hunter kills a valued species that is at the verge of extinction, the ecosystem gets disturbed as the connecting link gets extinct which also disturbs the food chains and stability of the natural food web.  

There are different kinds of agricultural activities. The activities that are ways people degrade commons are;

Farmers allow livestock to overgraze federal pastureland.

Hunters hunt a valued species to extinction.

What happens when one allow livestock to overgraze an area?

In course of overgrazing, animals are known to limit or reduce the plant leaf areas, and thus it lowers plants' ability to trap sunlight and grow new set of leaf material.

This brings about a reduction and so there is slows down of plant regrowth and this can lead to the death of the plant.

Which is moved by transport proteins? please help
water

carbon dioxide

oxygen

calcium

Answers

it is either b. carbon dioxide or c. oxygen 

" Carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) are both molecules that can move across cell membranes through simple diffusion. When you breathe in oxygen, the red blood cells in your lungs have a low concentration of oxygen and a high concentration of carbon dioxide inside. "


Calcium is moved by transport proteins across cell membranes, while water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen can pass freely without such assistance.

Among water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and calcium, calcium is the molecule that is moved by transport proteins across cell membranes. Water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen (O2) can move freely through cell membranes due to their small size and the nature of the lipid bilayer. However, calcium ions, which are charged particles, cannot easily pass through the plasma membrane without assistance. They require specific carrier proteins to facilitate their movement, often in a process that involves changes in the shape of the transport protein. This can be a passive process, as in facilitated diffusion, or an active process that requires energy, commonly in the form of ATP or an existing gradient of other ions or molecules.

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring? A. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail C. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail D. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail

Answers

The correct answer is B. This question relates to using a punnet square to determine the genotypes of the offspring. Two heterozygous parents expressing a polka-dot tale must have genotype Pp each. 

Using a punnet square, this will produce 4 possible genotypes in equal probability:
PP - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
pp - solid tale

Therefore there is a 75% change of getting polka dots in the offspring, and a 25% chance of solid tale.

A. is an incorrect answer because only 50% of offspring will be type Pp, another 25% will be expressing double dominant alleles for P as PP, which will still express polka dots.

Plasmodium are they heterotroph, autotroph or both

Answers

Plasmodium is actually a protozoan—that is, a single-celled organism that is usually microscopic and belongs to the Domain Eukaryota (which also includes all plants and animals, but excludes bacteria and archaea). More specifically, Plasmodium belongs to the Apicomplexa group of protozoans, which are characterised as being parasites of animals, and possessing several unique characteristics, such as an apical complex structure used for invading host cells, and from which the group derives its name.

Protozoans differ from bacteria in terms of evolutionary history as well as a number of key characteristics. For example, protozoans, like all eukaryotes, possess a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, neither of which are seen in bacteria. Bacteria, moreover, can produce their own food (they are autotrophic), whereas protozoans tend to be heterotrophic and rely on other organisms for food.

Consider what would happen if a red blood cell were placed in distilled water

Answers

The cell would burst.

In distilled water, the water potential is the highest, which is higher than the cell cytoplasm. So in this case, there's a concentration gradient, and water molecules will start to flow from the distilled water in the cell because of osmosis. Osmosis is always the flow of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a semi permeable membrane, aka the red blood cell membrane in this case.
This leads to the large amount of water gained by the red blood cell. The cell membrane cannot hold all water and therefore the cell bursts.

What are the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA?

Answers

The structure of RNA differs fundamentally from that of DNA in three ways:It forms a single strand sugar-phosphate chain.
The sugar in its nucleotides is ribose.
The base thymine is replaced by the base uracil.

DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases. To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating.

Each RNA nucleotide consists of three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and anitrogen-containing base. The four RNA bases are adenine, uracil, guanine, andcytosine—often referred to as A, U, G, and C. RNA shares three bases in common with DNA: adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Instead of uracil, DNA containsthymine.

Why do you think so many dogs die from bloat? what factors influence the mortality rate of this disease?

Answers

Gastric dilatation and fluids.the spleen is attached to the wall of the stomach and therefore rotates with the stomach.

Answer:

Many dogs die from swelling because they need medical attention as soon as possible and their owners cannot reach the vet in less than 30 minutes. These dogs will need surgery, but surgery does not always work, which influences the high mortality rate of this disease.

Explanation:

Abdominal bloating is a condition characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in the cavity of the dog's abdomen. This disease, when not treated quickly, can progress to something more severe and pressure the diaphragm, causing difficulty breathing. But what is really worrying is the disorder that is causing this signal, since the accumulated fluid in the abdominal cavity can come from the internal organs, blood vessels or lymph nodes.

Abdominal bloating is a disease that has a high mortality rate in dogs, because the animal needs veterinary care as soon as possible and most dog owners cannot reach the vet in less than 30 minutes. In addition, the dog will need surgery, however, surgery does not guarantee that the swelling will resolve and the animal will still be at risk of death.

Suppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where a is brown and a is white. the goats also have another gene that codes for height, where b is tall and b is short. if these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between aa bb × aa bb parents will produce two out of six offspring that are brown and short? enter your answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage.

Answers

The probability that a cross between aa bb  imes aa bb parents will produce two out of six offspring that are brown and short is 0.0156.

In order to solve for the probability of obtaining a specific number of offspring with certain traits, we need to use the binomial probability formula. Since the traits are unlinked, the probability of an offspring being brown (aa) and short (bb) is the product of their separate probabilities. The probability of an offspring being brown (aa) is  rac{1}{4}, as both parents are aa, and the offspring must inherit an a allele from each parent. Similarly, the probability of an offspring being short (bb) is also  rac{1}{4}. Thus, the individual probability for an offspring to be both brown and short is (rac{1}{4})  imes (rac{1}{4}) =  rac{1}{16}. To find out the probability of having exactly two such offspring out of six, we apply the binomial probability formula inom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}, where n is the total number of offspring (6), k is the desired number of offspring with the traits (2), p is the probability of one offspring having the traits (rac{1}{16}), and 1-p is the probability of one offspring not having the traits (rac{15}{16}). Plugging in the values we get inom{6}{2}(rac{1}{16})^2(rac{15}{16})^4, which calculates to 0.0156.

Water is the major component of the biochemical reactions that occur inside the cell and the greatest percentage of the cell is make up of water. Oxygen is needed for the cell to carry out cellular respiration in order to obtain energy. Nutrients are needed in the cells to generate energy and to keep the cells alive.
Final answer:

Animal cells require oxygen for cellular respiration, glucose for energy, and amino acids for protein synthesis. These essential substances must be transported into cells to maintain cellular functions and ensure the survival of the cell.

Explanation:

Three substances that need to be transported into all kinds of animal cells for them to survive are oxygen, glucose, and amino acids.

Oxygen is crucial for the process of cellular respiration, where it is used to help convert glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of the cell. Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as a primary energy source for cells. Lastly, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are essential for constructing cellular structures and facilitating various metabolic functions.

Without these key substances, animal cells cannot perform necessary functions such as energy production, building and repairing tissues, and maintaining homeostasis. Animal cells have specific mechanisms, including active transport and facilitated diffusion, to ensure the proper intake of these molecules.

Stab inoculation technique is used to check mobility and anaerobic growth in microbial strains. A soft agar plate stabbing is an inoculation technique widely used to differentiate between bacterial strains based on their mobility and anaerobic growth. Between two stabs in the soft agar the two bacterial colonies may grow differently. If a bacterial species in anaerobic, it will grow at the bottom of the stab.

If a bacterial species is non-motile, it will grow as along the stab line. Whereas, if the bacterial species is motile, the growth will be hazy and diffusing.

A bacterial growth in a stab culture can be transparent or opaque depending on the mobility.
