Why must animals maintain a stable environment within their bodies?

Homeostasis, my friend.

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment (temperature, water content, available energy, available oxygen & concentration of wastes in the blood.) Some animals are able to do this and are called endothermic or 'warm-blooded' (like humans). However, not all animals are able to do all of this - and they are referred to as ectothermic or 'cold-blooded.'

Animals need to be able to maintain a stable internal environment because if they do not, they will most likely die. Animals need warmth to survive, so they need to be able to have a constant body temperature whether it be by using their body to create warmth or having to sit in the sun to keep warm,

Hope this helps.

Sheets composed of two layers of amphipathic molecules arranged with the hydrophilic groups on the surface and the hydrophobic g

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

D) bilayer membranes

Explanation:

Two lipidic bilayers compose the cell membrane. There are also proteins and glucans incrusted in between. Lipids are amphipathic molecules with hydrophilic heads -negatively charged phosphate group- and hydrophobic tails. Lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane. Membranes are fluid, which means that the composing molecules can move through them.

Lipids can easily change places with other neighboring lipids by lateral diffusion in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.

Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer but not as easily as lateral diffusion. Jumps between monolayers are infrequent as the lipidic polar heads meet the fatty acid barrier.

There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.
