The embedded proteins <u>allow specific substances to flow into the cell</u>.The phospholipid bilayer forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartment.They embedded proteins carry the selective transportation of molecules and ensure their is cell to cell recognition.

stepan [7]

Answer:

1 .tall (or heterozygous)

2. 3:1

3. carriers

4. Each parent organism contributes one copy of its alleles in a seemingly random fashion to its offspring, as meiosis to create gametes (egg or sperm cells) reduces the number of genes by half.

5. Therefore, each gamete contributes only one allele. A Punnett square is a diagram used to map out the possible genotypes of a child given the genotypes of its parents. In a Punnett square, the genotype of one parent is listed in the first row of the square, and the genotype of the second parent is listed in the first column. Then, in the middle squares, all possible genotypes of their offspring are listed, and the phenotypes are calculated using the law of dominance.

6. Purebred strains of organisms always produce heterozygous offspring in the first generation, with all members of the first generation exhibiting the dominant trait for the gene of interest. The second generation typically has a 3:1 mix of dominant and recessive phenotypes, respectively.

7. Punnett squares predict that the second generation of two distinct purebred homozygotes for a trait will have a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits. Mendel did careful statistical analysis on his hybridization experiments and found that, for each of his seven characteristics of interest, the ratio was approximately, but not exactly, 3:1. Therefore, Mendel's experimental observations match the predictions of Punnett squares quite well.

If a muscle fiber were to suddenly and permanently stop producing ATP the fiber would no longer be able to actively transport ca
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A. Calcium would be transported to the sarcoplasmic reticulum therefore contractions would cease.

Explanation:

A muscle fibre will stop contraction immediately ATP is used up. Also, muscle contraction will end as soon as the information from the motor neuron stops. This repolarizes the sarcolemma and T-tubules, thereby closing the voltage-gated calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium ions are then pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, in order for tropomyosin to cover the binding sites on the actin strands again.

Two peeled large carrot pieces are placed in beakers one containing water and the other containing sugar solution. The carrot pi
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

a)Difference in physical state observed:

The difference between the two carrots is that the carrot in the plain water appears bigger or slightly swollen while the carrot in the salt water appears smaller and has shrank in length and slightly in width.

b)Process involved that has caused the changes:

The process that has taken place is osmosis.

c)Why has the process occured:

The process occurs due to the semi-permeable membrane of the cells of carrots that allow water either in or out of the cells.

In the plain water, the process that takes place is endosmosis where the cells of the carrot draw in water and hence the carrot increases in mass. The carrot in the salt water, on the other hand, experiences exosmosis, where water is drawn from the carrot's cells and the carrot becomes dehydrated and shrinks in length and width.

d) Beaker 1 : Water

Beaker 2 : Sugar Solution

e) example of endosmosis is absorption of capillary water from the soil by the root.

another example of endosmosis is is entrance of water in the xylem vessel from the soil by the root.

Bacteria may be killed during cooking, but may leave behind ______ that will later grow and produce more bacteria.
Aliun [14]
The answer is SPORES.

Some bacteria, take for example clostridium can be killed with heat but still leave their spores.

They are heat-resistant spores that may survive cooking and later grow and produce large numbers of cells if the storage temperature is appropriate for their growth.

Natasha2012 [34]
Over 90% of all parasympathetic fibers are derived from the cranial nerve X, which is the vagus nerve. 
The vagus nerve influences most organs below the neck. The activation of this nerve affects heart rate, blood pressure, production of stomach acid, movement of food through the intestines and breathing.
