Semipermeable cell membranes are made of phospholipids that form a bilayer. What major benefit does this arrangement of the memb
rane provide to the cell? a. The cell is able to easily change shape and size
b. Both surfaces of the membrane are nonpermeable
c. The cell has a greater level of structural support
d. Both surfaces of the membrane can interact with water and other molecules.
The correct answer is D) Both surfaces of the membrane can interact with water and other molecules.
Explanation:
Phospholipids provide barriers in cellular membranes to protect the cell, and they make barriers for the organelles within those cells.
Phospholipids work to provide pathways for various substances across membranes. Membrane proteins stud the phospholipid bilayer; these respond to cell signals or act as enzymes or transporting mechanisms for the cell membrane.
The phospholipid bilayer readily allows essential molecules such as water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to cross the membrane, but very large molecules cannot enter the cell in this way or may not be able to at all.
The answer is C. The widely used technique for finding extraterrestrial life is use of SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) dishes that listen for radio waves from outer space. NASA has also been sending radio waves to outer space with messages that could purportedly be decoded by alien intelligent life.
The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood throughout the entire body, which requires a lot of work and pressure, hence why it is super thick.
