Answer:

The cork cambium is a natural insulator that protects woody plants from an hostile environment.

Explanation:

The cork Cambium is a tissue that belongs to the epidermis, it is responsible for the secundary growth in the plant and replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. The cork cambium also protects the plant from overhydration, it is waterproof and has really selective ways to let the water into the plant (apoplastic and symplastic pathway).

There is some special plants in the coast of the tropical area called mangrooves, these plants has really specialized cork cambium that controls not only the water levels but also the salt levels into the plant.

The cork cambium is really important because protects and regulates the plant and its environment.

How would a small, uncharged lipid move across the cell membrane?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.
