<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • The Plasma membrane of a cell is made up of a phospholipid bilayer which has a hydrophobic core and hence is impermeable to water soluble or polar organic and inorganic molecules.
  • However, a cell can maintain proper homeostsis and undergo metabolism only when it is able to exchange different hydrophilic and polar organic and inorganic chemical components present inside the cell with those present outside the cell.
  • This necessitates the development of a "path" that could connect the cell interior to the cell exterior.
  • The path is developed by integral membrane protein that spans across the lipid bilayer opening on either side of the membrane, thereby connecting the cell interior with the cell exterior.
  • These integral membrane proteins are amphipathic in nature, that is, they are composed of both polar and non-polar amino acid residues. The amino acid residues are arranged such that the non polar amino acid residues face and undergo hydrophobic interactions with the water avoiding lipid molecules in the plasma membrane. The polar amino acid residues face towards the lumen of the opening in between the cell interior and exterior such that they can form hydrogen bonding with the water soluble polar organic or inorganic molecules and help them traverse the plasma membrane.
  • These integral membrane proteins are of two types: Channel proteins and Carrier proteins.
  • The Channel proteins:
  1. Form a direct and continuous opening across the plasma membrane. They can either remain always open or can be gated, that is, they open only on associating with specific signalling molecules.
  2. They transport solutes from a region of high electrical charge or concentration to a region of low electrical charge or concentration, that is, down the electrochemical or concentration gradient.
  3. They usually allow the easy and quick transport of water molecules and small ions across the membrane.
  • The Carrier proteins:
  1. They undergo a change in their conformation to translocate solute molecules across the plasma membrane and they do not form a continuous opening.
  2. When they open on one side of the membrane they are closed on the other side. They cannot remain, simultaneously, open on both sides of the membrane.
  3. They are required mainly for the translocation of small polar organic molecules across the plasma membrane down the electrochemical or concentration gradient.
  • For channels only:
  1. g.
  2. a.
  • For carrier proteins only:
  1. f.
  2. b.
  • For channels as well as carrier proteins both:
  1. c.
  2. e.
  3. d.

Shtirlitz [24]

The correct answer is predatory birds.  

The flowing of toxic chemicals and heavy metals into the water body when the agricultural, industrial, and human wastes run off or are discharged intentionally into the water body is known as biomagnification. These pollutants result in genetic mutations, disease, reproductive difficulties, birth defects, death, and behavioral modifications in various marine species.  

However, the extremity of the destruction varies significantly among the species. In various circumstances, the animals close to the top of the food chain are most influenced by the procedure of biomagnification.  

Several of the harmful toxins get settle at the lower level in a water body and are then consumed by the species, which feed or live on the bottom dwellers. As these constituents are not digested, they gathered inside the bodies of the species, which consumes them.  

It signifies that the higher level predators, like fish, birds, or marine mammals accumulate more harmful concentrations of toxic substances in comparison to the animals lower on the food chain. Thus, in the given case, the more concentrated amount of toxins would be found in the predatory birds.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

cell membrane

mitochondria

lysosomes

ribosomes

Explanation:

Cell membrane is the boundary of animal cell which is responsible for the intake of nutrients from outside environment of the cell. Cell membrane is a semipermeable membrane which take nutrient through a process of diffusion and active transport. Mitochondria is also called power house of the cell in which glucose molecule is broken down and energy is released. Lysosomes is an important organelle of the cell which is responsible for the collecting and removal of waste material from the cell through cell membrane. Ribosomes helps in the production of proteins and enzymes needed by the cell for different activities.
