Microtubules are tiny, hollow, bead-like tubular structures that help cells maintain their shape. Along with microfilaments and intermediate filaments, they form the cytoskeleton of the cell, as well as participate in a variety of motor functions for the cell.
Answer:
The polarity of membrane phospholipids
Explanation:
The inner core of membranes is made of nonpolar tails of phospholipids which in turn makes the membranes impermeable for polar, large and charged substances since these substances cannot cross the non-polar inner core. The saturated hydrocarbon tails pack tightly and make membrane less permeable while cholesterol affects the membrane permeability by interacting with non-polar tails.
Higher temperatures make the membrane more fluid and more permeable while at lower temperatures, membranes are more rigid due to tight packing of hydrocarbon tails and less permeable. The polar heads of phospholipids make the inner and outer surface of the membrane. Therefore, the polarity of phospholipids does not affect the membrane permeability.
Sustainable land management (SLM) refers to practices and technologies that aim to integrate the management of land, water, biodiversity, and other environmental resources to meet human needs while ensuring the long-term sustainability of ecosystem services and livelihoods.
These microbial infections that are acquired by hospital patients as they are being used as the compromised host are the nosocomial infections. These type of infections are primarily caused by bacterial pathogens entering the patient's body and mainly causes urinary tract infection, pneumonia, and other illnesses.
