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>

How are the three stages of photosynthesis linked?
pantera1 [17]

STEP ONE: Harvesting Radiant Energy

The first step of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Light photons are absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyll, which is abundant in the thylakoid membrane of each chloroplast. Chlorophyll appears green to the eye because it does not absorb green waves on the light spectrum. It reflects them instead, so that’s the color you see.

STAGE 2: Converting Radiant Energy

After radiant energy from sunlight is absorbed, the plant converts light energy into a usable form of chemical energy to fuel the plant’s cells

STAGE 3: Storing Radiant Energy

The last stage of the photosynthesis process is known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the plant uses atmospheric carbon dioxide and water from soil to convert ATP and NADPH. The chemical reactions that make up the Calvin-Benson cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.

​In human audition, the vibration of the ossicles is triggered by the vibration of the ____ and transmitted directly to the ____
goblinko [34]

In human audition, the vibration of the ossicles is triggered by the vibration of the tympanic membrane (the eardrum) and transmitted directly to the fluid and membranes of the inner ear.

The inner ear is shaped like a snail with a thousands of tiny hair cells in it and it is called the cochlea. Hair cells change the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the auditory nerve.
