<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

C. Phospholipids form a selectively permeable structure

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Phopholipids are types of lipids which are amphipathic molecules, that is they have both non-polar and polar end.
  • They are fundamental building blocks of cellular membranes and are the major part of surfactant.
  • <em><u>Phospholipids are selectively permeable that is they allow some molecules but not others to pass across it. The phospholipid bilayer is permeable to small polar molecules and nonpolar molecules. They bilayer is impermeable to larger polar molecules and ions</u></em>.

What is the correct definition of antibodies?
Softa [21]

Answer: The answer is  C

Explanation:

 Antibodies or otherwise called Immunoglobulin are special protein that are produced by certain lymphocytes which produces antibodies which can affect the invading bacteria or other foreign  bodies called the antigens  or other toxins in a number of ways . Certain antibodies known as agglutinins make bacteria harmless by causing them to clump together. The lysins dissolve the outer coats of bacteria, the antitoxin neutralize the toxin of bacteria  while precipitins precipitate the toxin as insoluble and therefore , convert them to a harmless compound. Antibodies are always produced by the immune system.

Which of the following describes how the winter season affects organisms in the tundra biome?
alukav5142 [94]

The correct answer is D. Animals not adapted to cold migrate to warmer regions, because suppose that the cold temperatures kill most of the plants, so if they can die why they select that place to live? The option B is not logical because this require long time to evolve this characteristic and the option C has more logic but it still not enough, because if the temperatures are colder more animals can die. I hope this help.
