Answer:
Lipid bilayer
Explanation:
Red blood cell is surrounded by a cell membrane that separates its interior from the surrounding medium. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer and consists of two layers of phospholipids. The polar heads of phospholipids make the surfaces of the cell membrane while their nonpolar tails are buried in its core.
The snake venom has phospholipase enzymes that digest the phospholipids into fatty acids. Digestion of phospholipids of the lipid bilayer of red blood cells would cause leakage of their content into the surroundings and loss of integrity of cells.
Answer:
It led to a wide range of protests by the people which brought about revolution
Explanation:
The ultimate consequences of wealth inequalities during the 18th century was wide range of protests by the people which brought about revolution.
This was because of the high poverty rate and difference between the classes in the society as the rich got richer due to policies which favored them while the poor got poorer due to the bad policies which made them register their displeasure and move for a revolution.
DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include: a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.
The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.
It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.
Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :
a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere
b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans ( fatty tissue)
c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.
Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.
A waste product is a product that is made but isn’t necessarily needed eg. A lightbulb will make light energy but it also makes a waste product heat.
Answer:
c. Only one of the statements is true
Explanation:
Quaternary structure, the highest level of protein organization in which association of several protein chains are closely arranged. The protein subunits are attached together by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds between nonpolar side chains. it is present in all the proteins which have 80 or more amino acids are present.
Collagen, is most abundant protein in the animal kingdom. It is insoluble fibrous protein present in the extracellular matrix and in connective tissue.
A protein chain has directionality consist of a free amino group at one end, and a free carboxyl group on other end.
Hence, only (2) statement is true the correct option is c.
