The Plasma Membrane. *The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell. *It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and sometimes covered in cholesterol molecules and proteins.

The plasma membrane is the membrane that surrounds cells and controls what comes in and what goes out of that cell. It is made up of layers of phospholipids whos tails are nonpolar (no charge) and the heads of the Phospholipids are Polar (have a charge). Because of the charges of the phospholipids, some substances can not come into the cell. The reason is their charges are different then the layer and therefore, it repels the substance. However, if the substance has the right charge or is small enough to slip through membrane holes, the substance can get past the Phospholipid bilayer and into the cell. Transport proteins can allow some substances in that would normally not be let in.

How do scientists know that dark matter and dark energy exist even if we can not see them
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

We only know it's there because we can see the effect of its gravity. Scientists study dark matter by looking at the effects it has on visible objects. Scientists believe that dark matter may account for the unexplained motions of stars within galaxies. Computers play an important role in the search for dark matter information.

Compare and contrast the evidence that supports the two hypotheses describing how long, complex molecules that carry information
Rudiy27

Oparin and Haldane's theory and Miller's experiment are the proof that long complex molecules that carry information such as DNA, might have formed on early earth.

Explanation:

Oparin and Haldane Hypothesis states that life on Early earth could have evolved by chemical evolution.

Oparin and Haldane said that the reducing atmosphere of the early earth caused simple inorganic molecules to react by using sunlight and formed molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

These monomers combined to form polymers, they would have attained self-replicating tendency eventually these would have assembled into structures and these macromolecules had also made membrane-bound organelle.

Although this hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of it which talks about formation of molecules is accepted.

Millers and Urey in their experiment created an artificial reducing environment like that of early earth. They used a heated pool of water, atmospheric gases like H2O,CH4,N2, NH4 and sparks of electricity. After running the experiment for some days they found that amino acids, sugars, lipids and other organic molecules had formed.

Their hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of is evident that organic building block is formed from inorganic constituent on the earth.
