Because the fatty acid chains are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, it implies that the fatty acid chains of a phospholipid is not attracted to water hence why they are turned inwards towards each other and away from aqueous medium.  This implies that the interior of the membrane is HYDROPHOBIC (water-fearing/water-repelling).

To visualize the structure of DNA, which has a width of 10 nm, which microscope would be best
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Electron microscope

Explanation:

Instead of using light, it utilized a beam of electron for illumination. Because an electron beam has a shorter wavelength than light (up to 100, 000 times shorter), they have a higher resolution power and are therefore able to view sub-cellular structures including DNA.

NADH and FADH2 are both electron carriers that donate their electrons to the electron transport chain. The electrons ultimately
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

NADH and FADH2 are both electron carriers of the electron transport chain. NADH gives up its electrons starting from Complex I, which has a higher energy level compared to other complexes. Energy is given off to pump protons across the membrane by the time electrons are transferred to ComplexIII. More electrons are pumped across the membrane as electrons move to Complex IV. Because NADH commenced giving up its electrons from Complex I (higher energy level complex), more protons are pumped across the membrane gradient, which enables ATP synthase with more power to produce 3ATP molecules per NADH molecule.

On the other hand, 2 molecules of ATP are generated by FADH2 because it starts by giving up its electrons to ComplexII. It missed a chance to pump protons across the membrane when it passed Complex I. By the time the electrons reach Complex IV, less protons have been pumped. The lesser the protons to power ATP synthase, the lesser the ATP molecules produced.

You observed many sand hill cranes on your walk. Two sand hill cranes flapped their wings and hopped up and down when you walked
Anarel [89]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) symbiosis

B) ecosystem

C) community

D) population

E) biosphere

The answer is D) Population

Explanation:

Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.

This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.

This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
