Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Regarding plasma membranes, which of the following statements is false, would be, B: The thickness of the plasma membrane is only about 1 nm.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is the structure of the cell that provides a protective barrier, between a cell´s intracellular environment and the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, aside from providing structural support, and protection, a cell´s membrane also serves as a communication media between the cells, and between a cell and all other elements outside of it. This membrance is formed by a phospholipid bilayer, with a space in between the two layers where the tail ends meet and it also has in its structure cholesterol and other lipids that allow the membrane to be fluid, but also structurally strong. However, what is not true is the thickness, as it is known that plasma membranes´ thickness actually lies between 7.5 to 10 nm, and not merely 1 nm. This is why the answer is B.

The desert fennec is a small fox that lives in the sahara desert. it has long limbs and long ears. compared to the desert fennec
Vanyuwa [196]
C<span>ompared to the desert fennec, you might expect the arctic fox to have shorter ears.
Given that the desert fennec fox lives in the desert, where it is quite dry and hot, and the arctic fox lives in a place where it is extremely cold, by analogy, if the first fox has long ears, the second one will have shorter ears. Because the locations they live in are quite different, their ears are going to be each other's opposites.
