Explain why hydrophobic molecules can easily cross the plasma membrane, while hydrophilic molecules cannot.

Biology
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]4 years ago
4 0
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Membranes are semipermeable lipid bilayers. Permeability refers to the ease with which molecules cross biological membranes. Because of the chemical and structural nature of the phospholipid bilayer (hydrophobic core), only lipid-soluble molecules are able to freely pass through the lipid bilayer because it attracts these non polar molecules.

Water soluble or hydrophilic molecules cannot pass through these lipid membranes because hydrophobic bilayer repels hydrophilic molecules. Ions and large polar molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer.  

But more specifically, whether a molecule can pass through the membrane depends on its size and its electrical nature.

Describe four ways a city can reduce car use.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The city can build more convenient public transportation like trains and buses to transport people around in large numbers, reducing the amount of cars.

Likewise, the city can also find alternative options of energy sources to more renewable ones, like investing in a hydroplant and solar panels.

The city can also put up conveniently located bicycle stops with bicycles up for rent at an affordable cost, that will encourage more people to take other modes of transportation, while exercising as well.

Lastly, the city can also put up car taxes, to further reduce the numbers of cars on the road as not many people will be willing to pay the car taxes.

Answer asap will give brain thing
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek made the first microscope and used it to look at bacteria and study bacteria, and Robert Hooke studied cells and saw cavities in the cells that looked like small boxes - he discovered plant cells! he recognized cells as the basic unit of life, a basis for Cell Theory.

2. cell theory is: every living organism is made of one or more cells, cells are the smallest units of life ( that have the properties of a living thing), All cells come from other cells  - all living things come from other living things. This relates to every living thing because all living things come under cell theory - like all living things are made of cells

3. prokaryotes, like bacteria, doesn't have a nucleus covered in a membrane. a eukaryotic cell, like an animal cell, has a membrane covered nucleus. just like the nucleus, in eukaryotes the organelles are not membrane bound. in prokaryotes, the organelles are membrane bound. In prokaryotes the DNA form is circular, while the DNA form in eukaryotes is linear. there are more, but i couldn't list them.

4. Example for prokaryote: the famous (or infamous) E. Coli bacterium. example for eukaryote: Humans!

5. Single-celled organisms (unicellular organisms) have all the functions necessary for their survival in the single cell. Multicellular organisms (many celled organisms), however, need many cells to survive and carry out all the functions necessary for their survival and do the different tasks each cell is supposed to do.

I hope this helped, please do correct me if I am wrong!
