Answer: Option B) directly through the lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Since membrane are made up of a phospholipid bilayer, with hydrophobic heads and hydrophilic tails, it permits the movement of nonpolar (organic) molecules to diffuse through it into the biological membrane. This is because they are lipophilic (lipid-loving) substances.

Examples of molecules that passed directly through the lipid bilayer are pollutants such as poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, benzopyrene etc.

Answer: option B.

Directly through lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Molecules with high lipid solubility can pass through lipid bilayer.

Lipid bilayer is a structure of the cell membrane that allow small uncharged molecules, lipid and hydrophobic molecules to pass through the cell membrane across their concentration gradient by a process of diffusion. Examples of molecules with high lipid solubility are oxygen, carbon dioxide, lipids, fat soluble vitamins e.t.c. The molecules are unionized form(lipophilic) and can diffuses readily across the cell.

Under a microscope, the cells of the mushroom plants and animals all have visible nucleus. This makes them all:
KATRIN_1 [288]
The correct answer is B -Eukaryotes.

“Eukaryotes are the organisms that possess a true nucleus (containing the DNA, which is the genetic material) and the membrane bound subcellular compartments ( also known as cell organelles) such as golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria.
As per the given information in the question, cells of mushrooms, plants, and animals all have visible nuclei under a microscope.
Thus, it indicates that these organisms are eukaryotes.”

Rasek [7]

Natural selection would probably favor different varieties in the different islands. In other words, beaks changed as the birds developed different tastes for fruits, seeds, or insects picked from the ground or cacti (due to lack of food resources). Long, pointed beaks made some of them more fit for picking seeds out of cactus fruits.

Which of the following best describes how the structure of ice benefits the organisms that live in the water below?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The water molecules in ice are considerably far apart as compared to cold water of 4 degrees centigrade and below. This, therefore, makes ice less dense than water at these temperatures (because they are fewer water molecules in ice per unit volume). This is why ice floats on cold water below 4 degrees centigrade. Ice, being a bad conductor of heat, shields the water below an ice sheet from excessive heat loss to the atmosphere. This is why water remains liquid below an ice sheet protecting the marine life below from complete freezing.

1) Interphase is the longest phase and most of the cells are present in that very stage !!


2) Interphase is the longest phase and Anaphase is the shortest phase !! Interphase is the longest phase as in this phase the cells prepare themselves for dividing and it takes most of the time for gathering energy for division ; in this phase DNA also replicate !!


3)
Interphase: DNA replicates;

Prophase: Nuclear membrane starts disappearing and Centrioles go on opposite poles !! DNA condense to form Chromosome.

Metaphase: Chromosome attach to spindle fibre and starts to move to equitorial plate.

Anaphase: Centromere divide and half the chromatid goes on either pole

Telophase: Nuclear membrane starts to reassemble; Chrmosome goes to normal uncoiled state ; Other organelles starts appearing

Cytokinesis: Cell furrow forms and cell divides into two half.


4) In dividing cell nucleus membrane is absent while in non dividing cell the membrane is intact


5) Tip of the onion root is meristamatic cell which divides but if it is permanent cell ; there would be no division !!
