Answer:

The interior of the lipid bilayer is hydrophobic (Ans. B)

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is selective in nature some of polar molecules and hydrophobic molecules can pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, large polar molecules and ions cannot pass through it.

By active and passive transport integral membrane proteins enables large polar molecules and ions to pass through the membrane. 3 primary factors which determine weather a molecule can diffuse through a membrane or not are : Size, Concentration and Charge.

B the interior of the phospholipid bilayer membrane is hydrophobic.  

the heads of the phospholipids are hydrophilic and the 2 tails are hydrophobic.
 
the molecules described are small enough that they can pass through the membrane without much trouble.

Explain why the chromosomes in the haploid cells that are produced by meiosis I look different than those produced by meiosis II
scoundrel [369]
In meiosis one, homologous chromosomes only separate resulting in two cells. In meiosis II, the cells divide further, separating sister chromatids and resulting in four cells. So the cells are just even smaller with less chromosomes in each one.

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will Group of answer choices increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli. de
Pie

Answer:

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate is the rate of air flow in the alveoli of the lung during normal breathing. It is measured in milliliters of air per minute (mL/min). The alveolar ventilation rate is an important factor in determining the concentrations (partial pressures) of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the functioning alveoli.

A high rate of alveolar ventilation, would result in a rapid influx of oxygen-rich air and efflux carbon dioxide-filled air from the alveoli.  This ultimately results in an increase in the concentration of oxygen and a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide within the alveoli.

Effects of alveolar ventilation on partial pressures of alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen (PACO₂ and PAO₂)

If the  alveolar ventilation rate is increased (and carbon dioxide production is unchanged), then the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli, PACO₂ will decrease.

If the  alveolar ventilation rate increases, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, PAO₂ will increase.

Eighty-nine percent of illnesses among children in child care settings are attributed to which of the following
yan [13]
The options provided for the question above are as follows:
A. Respiratory tract illnesses
B. Skin infection
C. Acute infectious diaherea
D. Intestinal infections.
The correction option is A.
Respiratory tract illnesses account for the majority of sickness that occur in child care settings. Such infection include those that affect the lower and the upper respiratory tracts; examples include: otitis media, sinusitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, etc. Children who attend out of home child care has greater risk of contacting these diseases.
