Answer:

Chemoautotrophs are the organisms which derive energy from oxidation of electron donating elements in their environment i.e. they get their energy from chemical reactions rather than sunlight (organisms which derive their energy from sunlight are called photoautotrophs.)

Chemoautotrophs use elements like hydrogen sulphide, ferrous oxide, elemental sulphur, hydrogen and ammonia as their electron donating elements.

They usually synthesize required organic compounds from carbon dioxide.

Mostly, they are archaea or bacteria, extremophiles and are found in extreme conditions such as deep sea vents, extreme saline areas, areas of high temperature(such as lava beds), areas of low pH etc. In addition, they are the primary producers of such ecosystems.

Different types of chemoautotrophs are thermophiles, halophiles, methanogens, sulphur oxidizers, thermoacidophiles etc.

Chemoautotrophs made their food by themselves using the energy from the sun. This means that an ecosystem that depends on chemoautotrophs for food is DEPENDENT ON SUNLIGHT FOR FOOD AND SURVIVAL. This is because the chemoautotrophic organisms are the primary producers in that ecosystem.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The answer (Image 1) is attached. Since the options weren't provided, I've attached the image of the options, too.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids, a special form of lipids with a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. According to the fluid mosaic model, the hydrophilic heads are positioned towards the outside where they freely interact with the extracellular matrix and cytosol. Whereas, the hydrophobic tails are positioned towards the inside so they aren't exposed to water.

Liposomes are lipid bases particles used for drug and vector delivery. The picture shows a typical liposome.

In the current case, for water to move both outside and inside, hydrophilic heads should be present inside as well as outside the tails.
