Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fluid Mosaic Model In 1972, S. Singer and Garth L. Nicolson proposed a new model of the plasma membrane that, compared to earlier understanding, better explained both microscopic observations and the function of the plasma membrane. This was called the fluid mosaic model. The model has evolved somewhat over time, but still best accounts for the structure and functions of the plasma membrane as we now understand them. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of componentsincluding phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydratesin which the components are able to flow and change position, while maintaining the basic integrity of the membrane. Both phospholipid molecules and embedded proteins are able to diffuse rapidly and laterally in the membrane. The fluidity of the plasma membrane is necessary for the activities of certain enzymes and transport molecules within the membrane. Plasma membranes range from 510 nm thick. As a comparison, human red blood cells, visible via light microscopy, are approximately 8 m thick, or approximately 1,000 times thicker than a plasma membrane. (Figure 3.18). Q: What model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components? Choices: - solid mosaic model - sensors mosaic model - coolant mosaic model - fluid mosaic model A:
fluid mosaic model

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Examples of Power Examples of power are limited only by the imagination, because there are as many types as there are forms of work and energy. (See Table 7.3 for some examples. ) Sunlight reaching Earth's surface carries a maximum power of about 1.3 kilowatts per square meter (kW/m 2). A tiny fraction of this is retained by Earth over the long term. Our consumption rate of fossil fuels is far greater than the rate at which they are stored, so it is inevitable that they will be depleted. Power implies that energy is transferred, perhaps changing form. It is never possible to change one form completely into another without losing some of it as thermal energy. For example, a 60-W incandescent bulb converts only 5 W of electrical power to light, with 55 W dissipating into thermal energy. Furthermore, the typical electric power plant converts only 35 to 40% of its fuel into electricity. The remainder becomes a huge amount of thermal energy that must be dispersed as heat transfer, as rapidly as it is created. A coal-fired power 6 plant may produce 1000 megawatts; 1 megawatt (MW) is 10 W of electric power. But the power plant consumes chemical energy at a rate of about 2500 MW, creating heat transfer to the surroundings at a rate of 1500 MW. (See Figure 7.25. Q: What does power imply is happening to energy? Choices: - is expanding - being destroyed - being created - being transferred A:
(Answer)
being transferred
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Ionic compounds tend to have high melting points and boiling points. Q: What type of compounds tend to have high melting points and boiling points? Choices: - liquid - particle - soluble - ionic A:
Ans: ionic
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Photosynthesis changes light energy to chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in the bonds of glucose molecules. Glucose, in turn, is used for energy by the cells of almost all living things. Photosynthetic organisms such as plants make their own glucose. Other organisms get glucose by consuming plants (or organisms that consume plants). Q: What does photosynthesis change light energy into? Choices: - electrical energy - carbon energy - radiation energy - chemical energy A:
(A).
chemical energy
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Each kidney has more than a million nephrons, which are the structural and functional units of the kidney. Each nephron is like a tiny filtering plant. Q: What are the structural and functional units of the kidney called? Choices: - Ions - caldrons - aeons - nephrons A:

Ans:nephrons
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Look at the Figure below of water (H 2 O) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and read about these two compounds. Both compounds consist of hydrogen and oxygen, but they have different ratios of the two elements. As a result, water and hydrogen peroxide are different compounds with different properties. If you've ever used hydrogen peroxide to disinfect a cut, then you know that it is very different from water!. Q: What elements do water and hydrogen peroxide consist of? Choices: - carbon and oxygen - calcium and oxygen - hydrogen and helium - hydrogen and oxygen A:
Ans:
hydrogen and oxygen
