<span>When Alfred Wegener developed the theory of continental drift in 1912, not many thought those theories of movement of continents are valid and the scientific community did not accept his theory at that time and that did not allow him to research further on ocean floor, paleo-magnetism, and earthquakes.</span>

It was not accepted during Wegener's lifetime because, mainstream scientists that time didn't know the mantle was liquid, they thought it was solid.  They thought the throry was illegitimate because continents did not fit exactly together.

The evidence supporting Wegener's theory was all discovered after his lifetime, like the Seismographs revealed a pattern of volcanoes and earthquakes, and Radiometric dating of rocks revealed a surprisingly young oceanic crust.

HELP ME. What are ways that ordinary people can help to keep antibiotic resistance from getting worse? Express your opinion abou
ycow [4]
By taking daily antibiotics, people are encouraging resistance by getting their immune systems used to the formulas. Antibiotic resistance<span> occurs when bacteria change in a way that reduces the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections. The bacteria survive and continue to multiply, causing more harm. I think that people can help by not taking antibiotics for every little pain they have, instead try other simple remedies and only use medicines in cases where other remedies won't help. </span>

What is meant by the following statement about the cell membrane?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The cell membrane is semipermeable because allows only certain molecules to pass through.

Explanation:

Semipermeability is a common property of cell membranes, due to their predominantly lipid composition, which gives them a hydrophobic character.

The cytoplasmic membrane is constituted by a double layer of lipids, in addition to structural proteins and glucides, which prevent the entry of polar or charged molecules. This characteristic allows lipids and small molecules without charge to pass freely through it.

Regarding the other options:

<em>     A. Cell membranes are associated with lysosomes, structures that contain enzymes. However, this characteristic is not related to semipermeability.</em>

<em>     C. They allow the passage of small molecules - devoid of charge - through them.</em>

<em>     D. Not all non-polar molecules pass through, as some need a transporter.</em>
