Answer:lipid molecules

Explanation:

lipid molecules prevent membrane from dissolving and they are also known as phospholipids.

A lipid molecule could be imagined as rectangle. With one end i.e the bottom of the lipid molecule that is hydrophilic which means they are water-loving.

The other end of the head of the lipid molecule which is hydrophobic, which is the non-polar and water-fearing end of the molecule.

Within protective layer surrounding the outside cell(Cell membrane) there are large amounts of lipid molecules. Phospholipids are the most abundant that prevent membrane from dissolving.

Water is a polar solvent and prefers dissolving polar molecules such as salt but Lipids is a non polar molecule and can't be dissolved by water the presence in abundance prevents dissolution.

Answer:

Tiered pricing is a method where sellers segment the pricing of their products or services to suit their various target markets. By optimizing and changing up your offering between each of the segments, you appeal to a wider (and more varied) customer base as you provide for different demand rates and price points.

It is often stated that the phosphate bonds in atp are "high energy," but in fact, they are not notably high in energy. rather,
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The answer is Negative charges on phosphate groups repel each other. The oxygen groups of a phosphoanhydride in ATP have electron cloud that repels each other. On hydrolysis, once a phosphate is lost, the electrostatic repulsion is reduced.

When ATP is hydrolyzed, it forms more hydrogen bonds with surrounding water molecules that when ATP is unhydrolyzed. Therefore, more energy is released since more bonds are formed than are broken. The net delta G is positive during hydrolysis of ATP.
