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.

What are the possible results of speciation?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Speciation is an evolutionary process by which a new species comes into being. A species is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another to produce fertile offspring and is reproductively isolated from other organisms. Speciation can be driven by evolution, which is a process that results in the accumulation of many small genetic changes called mutations in a population over a long period of time. There are a number of different mechanisms that may drive speciation. One of these is natural selection, which is a process that increases the frequency of advantageous gene variants, called alleles, in a population. Natural selection can result in organisms that are more likely to survive and reproduce and may eventually lead to speciation. A second process called genetic drift describes random fluctuations in allele frequencies in populations, which can eventually cause a population of organisms to be genetically distinct from its original population and result in the formation of a new species.

What are the major homeostatic roles of the kidneys in normal healthy adults?
maksim [4K]
The major homeostatic roles of kidneys in a healthy adults include; Regulation of the extracellular fluid volume, they ensure an adequate quantity of plasma to keep blood flowing to the vital organs. Regulating osmolarity; the kidneys help maintain appropriate concentration of the extracellular fluid with respect to the solutes in the fluid. The kidney regulates ion concentration ; including the sodium, calcium and potassium ions;. They also regulate the body pH; by preventing the blood plasma from being too acidic or basic. Another role is excretion of wastes and toxins, and lastly the production of hormones, such as erythropoietin which stimulates the synthesis of red blood cell.
