Cells that live in the ocean are often starved for phosphate and so their growth is P limited. Cells that need less P to grow will have an advantage over cells that needs lots of P to grow. Which of the following might provide an evolutionary advantage to a bacterium growing in an environment where P is scarce. Check all possible answers which apply: a. the cells evolve to have very few proteins per cell b. the cells evolve to have a very small number of ribosomes c. the cells evolve to have a very small genome d. the cells evolve to have a very small diameter e. the cells evolve a cell wall that lacks peptidoglycan

Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements. which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements. the framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center. because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane. the diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions. the kinky tails of some proteins keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together. membranes include a mosaic, or mix, of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.
