Answer:

The correct answer is- size and hydrophobicity

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane which means it only allows the transport of selective molecules across it. Some molecules can cross the membrane freely but some require transporters.

The passage of molecules is highly dependent on the size and hydrophobicity of the molecule. The molecule which is smaller in size, hydrophobic and neutral can freely diffuse through the plasma membrane.

The molecule which is hydrophilic, large and charged requires transporter protein to be transported. Therefore the correct answer is size and hydrophobicity.

The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.
