D. Polarity and size. 
<span>The size, polarity, and charge of a substance will determine whether or not the substance can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. The cholesterol was an example of a lipid, and is highly soluble in the nonpolar environment of the lipid bilayer. You saw, in the animation above, the cholesterol freely passing into the hydrophobic environment of the membrane. Cholesterol distributes freely in the membrane and then some fraction will dissolve in the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm. Water, on the other hand, while polar, is small enough to cross the membrane at a slow rate. Note that specialized transport proteins in certain cell membranes can provide a channel for the water, greatly increasing its rate of crossing the membrane. The lipid bilayer is much less permeable to the ion, because of its charge and larger size. As a general rule, charged molecules are much less permeable to the lipid bilayer.</span>

When THC binds to its receptor, how are the levels of cAMP affected in the post synaptic cells?
Nadya [2.5K]

Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.

Do you think the challenge society faces with regard to feeding the world's growing population is an example of ecological carry
Minchanka [31]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Carrying capacity can be defined as the total number of members of the population of a species that an ecosystem can sustain in terms of providing resources in the form of food, shelter and others. When the resources are available in surplus then the population of a species increases exponentially but declines when resources become scarce. The human population is increasing tremendously all over the world this is supported by the resources like food, water, fossil fuels, air, minerals, and others. But some of these resources are decreasing due to overuse and may not be available in future to sustain the future generation.

A woman cannot produce several types of lipases and amylases. name a problem
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Lipases and Amylases:

Lipases are a class of digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down fatty acid chains into their smaller sub units so that they can be absorbed by the body. Amylases are a class of digestive enzyme produces by the salivary glands in the mouth and the pancreas. These enzymes breakdown carbohydrates into smaller sub units so they can be absorbed.

Explanation:

because of excessive amount of protease this problem may have protein lack causing various problem in body
