The correct statements are:

1. The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.

2. The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.

5. Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.

Answer:

1) The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.

2) The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.

5) Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.

Explanation:

Fluid mosaic membrane is made up of lipid bilayer in which membrane phospholipids are assembled in a dual layer. One is hydrophilic head region which is facing to the cytosol and extracellular region made up of phosphate group, another is non-polar hydrophobic tail facing each other and made up of two long chains of fatty acids. These two layer covalently attached to a glycerol molecule.

Fluid mosaic model, the plasma membrane consist mosaic of components such as cholesterol, protein, carbohydrates and phospholipids they give the membrane a fluid characteristic.

What layer of the atmosphere are the northern lights located
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Thermosphere.

Explanation:

The Northern lights are located at the Thermosphere of the atmosphere. The Thermosphere is lies beyond 80 km above the mesopause. The properties of gases are not constant in this layer. temperature increase rapidly with the increase of height. There are number of ionic layers in this sphere. The layer called D disappears with the sunset as it associated with solar radiation.
