Hydroxyapatite refers to one of the prime components of and an important element of usual teeth and bone. It forms the matrix of teeth and mineral of the bone. It is the hydroxyapatite molecule that gives the teeth and bones their rigidity. These molecules can combine together to produce microscopic clumps.  

About seventy percent of the bone comprises of the inorganic mineral hydroxyapatite that comprises calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide, calcium fluoride, and citrate.

The formula for hydroxyapatite is Ca5(PO4)3(OH) which means that the elements are Calcium, Phosphorus, Oxygen and Hydrogen.

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca, but it is usually written Ca₁₂ to denote that the crystal unit cell comprises two entities. Hydroxyapatite is the hydroxyl endmember of the complex apatite group.

Stells [14]

Species X and species Z belong to the domain.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Species which belong to the same domain, they also belong to the same kingdom and also to the same phylum. These species are very similar to each other and can also produce offspring together.

In the information given, species X and species Y belong to the same domain. The next column says that the species Y and species Z also belong to the same domain. So species X and species Z will also belong to the same domain.

The bird species has presumably adapted to the conditions after the forest fire if they're still alive. They might have found a new shelter to live at and foods to eat and make it durable for the time period remaining to keep surviving.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The amphipathic property of the phospholipids that constitute the membrane

Explanation:

It seems like a options-based answer so it would be better if they were included here but basically, each of those phospholipid molecules has two parts with antagonistic reactions towards water.

The head is polar or hydrophilic, wich means it can be sorrounded by water. The tail, is apolar or hydrophobic which means it is repelled by water.

The interior and exterior of the cell is contain water-based substances, that's why the heads of the phospholipids are oriented like that with the tails protected inside the membrane.

This double layer structure has a fundamental role in the fluid property of the cell membrane from which derive most of it's functions.
