Detergents are compounds that dissolve lipids. If a cell were exposed to large concentrations of detergents, which cell part would likely suffer the greatest?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans.

Detergents are chemical compounds having both polar and non-polar components. They cause disruption of lipid molecules by breakdown bonds present between lipid molecules. In a cell, lipids are majorly present in cell membrane and membranes of internal cell organelles.

Thus, 'the cell part that would most likely suffer due to exposure to high concentration of lipids is cell membrane.'

From a population of red brown orange yellow and green butterflies only the red and green ones survive since they can blend into their environment and reduce predation. Which evolutionary mechanism is involved?

Answers

The evolutionary mechanism involved is genetic drift. Of the butterfly population, the red and green butterflies survived due to their ability to camouflage into their environment while the brown, orange and yellow butterflies did not because of their wing colors.

3. What did Darwin conclude was the reason the Galapagos finches had different shapes and styles of beaks

Answers

Darwin concluded that the finches evolved to adapt to the environment to survive.

Answer:

Charles Darwin had concluded that these birds had somehow evolved to adapt based on the island they were on. Each island had different food sources so if these finches wanted to survive they had to change. Each finch adapted to their environment due to forcefully evolving to survive.

How do living organisms create macromolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and complex higher-order structures?A.The laws of thermodynamics do not apply to living organisms.
B.Living organisms create order by using energy from the sun.
C.Living organisms create order locally, but the energy transformations generate waste heat that increases the entropy of the universe.

Answers

Answer:

C.Living organisms create order locally, but the energy transformations generate waste heat that increases the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

Entropy is a concept of thermodynamics that measures the disorder of particles in a physical system. Living organisms create some disorder through reactions that generate waste heat so that through heat-shaped energy, organelles capable of generating macromolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and higher-order complex structures are ordered.

Which class of organisms gather their energy directly from the sun? a. autotrophs b. carnivores c. herbivores d. detritivores

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be a. autotrophs.

Autotrophs, also called producers are the organisms which are able to produce complex organic compounds such as fats, proteins and carbohydrates from simpler substances present in the environment.

They are of two types based on their source of energy:

Photoautotrophs: These are the organisms which use sunlight as the source of energy in order to produce organic compounds.

For example, green plants synthesize their own food (glucose) from carbon dioxide with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll. Oxygen is released as the byproduct. The overall process is termed as photosynthesis (photo meaning photon or light energy).

Chemoautotrophs: They get energy from electron donor compounds such as sulfur, hydrogen sulfide et cetera.

The answer A. autotrophs
