<span>Positive Rh factor represents the presence of the rhesus protein on the blood cells.</span> <span>Rh factor or Rhesus factor is used to describe the presence of antigen Rh (D) in the blood.  A person who is, for example, AB Positive (AB+) has the A and B antigens and the Rh(D) antigen, whereas someone who is AB Negative (ab-) lacks the Rh(D) antigen. Antibodies to Rh antigens can be involved in hemolytic transfusion reactions and they increase the risk of Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, so it is important for mother and the baby to have the same Rh factor.</span>

Which of the following best describes an aspect of a membrane's molecular structure that causes it to be selectively permeable?
atroni [7]

Answer:

<u>d. Transport proteins within the membrane serve as a tunnel for molecules to enter the cell. </u>

<u />

Explanation:

Solutes are typically moved across the cell through either passive or active transport. The cells, surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane is amphiphlic- its polar, hydrophilic lipid heads face outwards, while their non-polar hydrophobic lipid tails face inwards towards each other.

While lipid-soluble molecules move across the layer easily, it is also difficult for charged and also large molecules to move across its surface, into the cell. Transmembrane channels, <u>embedded within the membrane</u>, help to maintain selective permeability as transport proteins, pores and gated channels. Simple diffusion happens as a method of passive transport in cells through plasma membranes.

The solutes travel through the plasma membrane in the process of diffusion from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration; this occurs without the use of energy. <u>Molecules moving against their concentration require active transport mechanism to cross the membrane</u>.
