Biology

<h2>Answer:</h2>

B. Artery

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The thicker and more muscular walls of arteries help them to withstand and absorb the pressure waves which begin in the heart and are transmitted by the blood.The larger arteries closer to the heart, receive a large amount of blood and have to be elastic. This is achieved by increased concentration of elastin fibers in tunica media which is the middle layer of the arterial wall. Artery carries the blood from the heart which is pure and it has to travel faster so it exerts more pressure on the wall. this is the reason why artery walls are strong and elastic.

Which of the following factors does not affect membrane permeability?A) The polarity of membrane phospholipids.B) Temperature.C)
lapo4ka [179]

The correct answer is: A) The polarity of membrane phospholipids

Factors that affect membrane permeability are

1. Chemicals :

Some of the organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol can dissolve the membrane and thus, destroy the selective permeability of the membrane.

2. Temperature :

Too high temperatures denature the protein that are in the structure of the membrane destroying its selective permeability. On the other hand, too low temperature slows down molecule movements and the permeability decreases.

3. Cholesterol:

Increases the permeability by reducing the barrier formed by phospholipids’ heads

4. The saturation of hydrocarbon tails in membrane phospholipids:

Saturated fatty acids decrease permeability of the membrane because  they get very close together, which makes it harder for the molecules to pass through.
