Answer:

Water is the most important element in our body and we need a constant supply of it to survive. Now in the scenario that you described is very important to make sure you boil the water because that is the best way to ensure that you killed any living organism (Virus, bacteria or parasites) that could endanger your life. So the answer to your question is A as it was said before but let me elaborate a little more.  

Explanation:

Many times, water is contaminated by mosquito or bacteria that can cause among other problems Dysentery. This is an inflammation of the intestines that cause a lot of pain and a bloody diarrhea. This bacteria is spread through water or food and in many third world countries is the main cause of death among the population. When you boil the water the bacteria is killed and the water is safe for drinking. If you ever learn of someone developing such symptoms and they claim to have drank unsafe water, suggest them to go to the doctor intermediately. Their life is at risk.

Answer:

The correct option is b

Explanation:

Phospholipids are lipids that contains a phosphate group, which forms the "head" of the molecule and is hydrophilic (water loving). The "tail" of phospholipids is made of two fatty acids which are hydrophobic (water fearing). The phospholipid in the cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell <u>thereby protecting the cell from some external molecules and ions</u>.

a cell is placed in a solution of 3% starch and 3% glucose. After several hours, glucose is detected outside of the cell, but st
Alex17521 [72]

Answer and Explanation:

The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.

Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.

The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.
