Answer:

comets with short orbit periods  

Explanation:

Comets are irregular rocky bodies composed of dust, frozen gases and ice. Most of the comets reside in Kuiper belt and Oort clouds. Kuiper belt is a region beyond orbit of Neptune. Comets orbit the sun in large elliptical orbits. Comets can be classified based on the period of their orbits. Comets which lie in Kuiper belt have period of orbit less than 200 years. Hence, these are known as short period comets where as long period comets reside in Oort cloud having orbital period of more than 200 years.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

"As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through <em>a hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads".</em>

Explanation:

Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans.

Lipids characterize for being amphipathic molecules, which means that they have both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion at the same time. These molecules have a lipidic head that corresponds to a negatively charged phosphate group, which is the polar and hydrophilic portion. They also have two lipidic tails that correspond to the hydrocarbon chains -the apolar and hydrophobic portion- of the fatty acids that esterify glycerol.

Membrane lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane.

Through this lipidic bilayer, some molecules can move from one side of the cell to the other, which happens because of concentration differences. When this occurs, molecules must pass through the hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then through the hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then again through another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads.
