why are cell membranes are described as phospholipid bilayers?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Phospholipids, arranged in a bilayer, make up the basic fabric of the plasma membrane. They are well-suited for this role because they are amphipathic, meaning that they have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. Chemical structure of a phospholipid, showing the hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails.

Answers

Answer:

Photosynthesis:

Function- Energy CaptureLocation of reactions- Chloroplast

Respiration

Energy releaseLocation of reactions- Mitochondria

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. Here, solar  energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of stable carbohydrates.

             6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light  →  C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light       Glucose + Oxygen

Chloroplasts, are small membrane-bound organelles of multi-folded membranes containing pigments, enzymes, and other molecules that facilitate the process.

Nutrients for a number of metabolic processes are basic compounds and macromolecules available. Through processing organic matter such as lipids, fats and proteins, animals get energy in heterotrophic nutrition.

For one for all metabolic processes, animals use carbohydrates as food. This occurs in the mitochondria...

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light

Which of the following accurately describes a subcellular organelle that functions in providing energy for the cell?

a. Chloroplasts are divided into an intermembrane space that contains thylakoids and the stroma, which contains chloroplast DNA, enzymes, and ribosomes.
b. Cristae divide mitochondria into the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix, which contains mitochondrial DNA, enzymes, and ribosomes.
c. Nuclei consist of a nucleolus, proteins, and DNA, which interact to synthesize rRNA via transcription and translation.
d. Ribosomes consist of proteins and two rRNA subunits, which are synthesized and joined in the nucleolus.

How might retaining too much heat be a disadvantage to an organism?

Answers

Answer:

Too much heat can disrupt subcellular structures such as membrane proteins, and enzymes while damaging the integrity of the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids. These fold and bond to form several biologically important molecules. For instance, enzymes, a special type of protein functions by providing alternative reaction pathways. They work best at a specific pH and optimal temperature range, beyond which they become non-functional  or denatured entirely.

The denaturing of proteins occur at high temperatures, and alter protein folding, bonding and other types of behavior. Furthermore, membrane proteins are  important for regulating cell function. If these are disrupted, the system cannot maintain homeostasis i.e a constant internal environment.

I

Answers

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, the asteroid belt is not able to unite into a 9th planet because there is not enough total mass in the belt to form a planet. the other reason is that the belt is too close to Jupiter which make impossible to make the asteroid belt a planet. When this formation of new planet happens between the asteroid and Jupiter, Jupiter's gravitational forces act on the asteroid add up and strengthen each other, and they can easily kick the asteroid out of the solar system.
