In a small cramped kitchen, you and some friends are preparing a spaghetti dinner. the water is boiling and the pasta is now ready to be carried to the sink to drain. you pick up the pot of bubbling pasta water and start in the direction of the sink. the pot holder slips slightly, causing the water to splash onto your arm. the scalding water burns your forearm. you are experiencing a lot of pain, with a red, blistering burn on your arm.
The appropriate first response will be to cool the affected arm under running water and application of ice pack. The cold temperatures will lower the pain that is being felt.
While pet rabbits can survive alone without another bunny living with them, they can get very lonely and sad, as rabbits are naturally herd animals. No matter how much human attention they receive, that does not replace attention from a fellow rabbit friend.
When one rabbit is introduced to another rabbit, they may not always get along. However, they will always be very curious when they first meet, and can become close friends after bonding for a while. Keeping close supervision on bunnies when they first meet, however, is very crucial, as they could get into a fight and hurt each other.
The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and phospholipids
Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes. They a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic (attracted to water) and the tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).
They form a bilayer in which their hydrophilic heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid while their hydrophobic tails face away from the cytosol and extracellular fluid.
The lipid bilayer is semi - permeable
