SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
5 0

a glacier made of ice can erode a landscape made of rock because there can be water held within the rock that gets frozen, and because water expands when it is frozen the rock breaks apart and the glacier grinds its' way 'downhill' (down a mountain range, a good example of this is the Appalachian mountain range) and carves out a significant amount of material that is below it, as well as the materials frozen inside of the glacier. so glaciers can freeze the rocks, and then scrape away any material that is softer than rock.

What is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that helps in the movement of larger molecules ?
gladu [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Channel/Transport \  proteins}}

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is also known as the cell membrane. It covers cells and regulates the transport of substances. Certain ones can pass and others cannot, depending on certain factors like size and polarity.

Smaller substances tend to diffuse or move across the membrane quite easily. However, larger molecules have a much harder time. Many depend on special proteins embedded in the membrane. These are called transport proteins and they form a channel so large molecules can still move in or out of the cell.

So, salt, water, and fats do not contribute to the movement of larger molecules, but <u>channel or transport proteins do and choice A is correct. </u>

Artist 52 [7]

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument, and its principal function is to protect the body and avoid dehydration. Option C is correct. Cuticle.

<h3>What is the cuticle?</h3>

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.

It is composed of two main layers,

  • epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer
  • procuticle ⇒ inner layer

The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.

Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.

The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.

The correct option is C. Cuticle

A _<u>Cuticle</u>_ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.
