The correct option is (A). Are found in Plasma membrane

Phospholipids are the major constituent of the plasma membrane.

<h3>What are phospholipids' primary purposes?</h3>
  • The primary component of the plasma membrane is phospholipids. They are made up of fatty acid chains joined to a glycerol or other similar backbone, just like fats.
  • The glycerol backbone's third carbon is bonded to a phosphate group, hence there are only two fatty acids connected as opposed to three.
  • An alcohol is added to the phosphate group to change it. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas can be found in phospholipids. While the phosphate is hydrophilic and interacts with water, the fatty acid chains are hydrophobic and keep themselves away from it.
  • A membrane with a bilayer of phospholipids surrounds each cell. The phosphate group can face either the outside environment or the inside of the cell, both of which are watery, as opposed to the fatty acids of phospholipids, which face within, away from water.

Vikki [24]

<u>Answer</u>: The answers are matched as follows:

African forests have been hunted to near extinction levels to obtain ivory-------------->human exploitation

The eruption of mount Saint Helens destroyed some populations of conifers------> natural disasters

An infection with a fungus reduced the population of North American Elm trees ----> disease

Increasing global temperatures have altered migration patterns of humpback whales ------>climate change

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Human</em> <em>exploitation</em> is the unethical or selfish use of resources to satisfy their own personal needs or for any profitable activity which harms the resources in such a way that they get limited. Humans have been hunting elephants to obtain ivory for many purposes such as making jewellery etc. and earning profits from it. Due to such extensive hunting they have driven the elephants to a level of extinction and thus, this is a form of human exploitation.
  • Mount Saint Helens is a volcano and its eruption which harms the population of the trees in the area is a form of natural disaster since volcanic eruption is a <em>natural</em> <em>phenomena</em>.
  • Fungal infection is a <em>disease</em> which is cause by the microorganisms which harms the population of the Elm trees.
  • Increase of global temperature is a type of climate <em>change</em> and thus, this effect of alteration of migration pattern is caused by climate change.
