Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Surfactants are the complex amphiphilic compounds which reduce or lower the surface tension between the two states that is liquid-liquid or solid-liquid.  

The surfactants arrange themselves in a state that their hydrophobic part is exposed in the air whereas their hydrophilic part is in the water.

The biosurfactants are produced by the micro-organisms which are considered superior emulsifiers as compared to the synthetic surfactants. Their amphiphilicity allows the insertion of the surfactant into the membrane which disrupts the integrity of the membrane.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

The enormous complexity of cells supports the theory of.. inetelligent design or evolution
joja [24]
<span>It is my belief that the complexity of cells supports the notion of intelligent design. When Darwin proposed the theory of evolution, their current understanding of a cell was a simple blob or building block of life. It was therefore not outlandish to think that such a building block could in fact have been created by accident in a primordial soup without intelligent forces acting upon it. However, giving the complexity of not only the design but the processes that cells fulfill, for example the Flagellar motor, it is nearly impossible to believe that such a thing could come about by natural processes that we can observe today.</span>
