Complete question:
Imagine a newly discovered biological molecule that is mostly hydrophobic in its structure. This new molecule will most likely be classified as a___________.
a. Proteins
b. Lipids
c. Nucleic acids
d. Carbohydrates
Answer:
b. Lipids
Explanation:
Lipids are the biomolecules that are mostly nonpolar in nature. Storage lipids such as fatty acids and oils have small or long chains of hydrocarbons. This makes them largely hydrophobic. Similarly, phospholipids have fatty acid chains that make their hydrophobic component. Steroids are also the lipids that have a distinct sterol nucleus in their structure. This makes then hydrophobic. Therefore, most of the lipids have structural components that make them largely hydrophobic molecules. So, the newly discovered molecule is most likely a lipid.
Answer:
Explanation:
The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle carrying deoxygenated blood from right atrium to right ventricle
The mitral/bicuspid valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle carrying oxygenated blood from left atrium to left ventricle
Pulmonary semilunar valves separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery preventing bachelor of blood.
Aortic semilunar valves separates the left ventricle from the aorta preventing backflow of blood
Answer:
Option A, Hormones are controlled by a feedback loop; information about a system is sent back to the controller of the system to improve its function.
Explanation:
Negative feedback loop controls the hormone production and release. This is done by eliciting the release of substances till a certain level after which the stop signal is activated thereby preventing further release. By this method, concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within the narrow range.
For example – Thyroid hormones is released when the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid. This continues till the hormones in the blood reach the threshold level. Once the threshold level is reached, hypothalamus receives a feedback and then signals anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid
Hence, option A is correct
The best vitamin to recommend in the scenario given above is VITAMIN B3, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS RIBOFLAVIN.
John is suffering from ariboflavinosis, which is a deficiency disease that is due to inadequate intake of riboflavin and the disease is characterized by sores on the mouth.
Answer:
D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.
If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:
Bb = B and b
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:
1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb
BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs
bb = white fur guinea pigs
