Biology
2 answers:
Savatey [412]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are a major class of lipid molecules that are amphiphilic in nature as they have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic lipid tails that present in almost every living cell membrane or plasma membrane as major component.

The function of these molecules to provide protection and act as a barrier between the internal cell environment and the outer cell environment and allow selective substances to pass through the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is - plasma membrane.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

(d) Cell wall

Explanation:

The cell wall is a structure located on the outside of the cell membrane in the cells of plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. It is a resistant, tough and flexible layer, which has the vital function of supporting the osmotic pressure inside the cell, preventing the cell from lysis when water enters. Besides, it has the function of giving rigidity, support and defining the shape of the cell.

Answer:

Air pollution harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the region. However, air pollutant concentrations are still too high, and air quality problems persist. A significant proportion of Europe’s population live in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health risks. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important.

Air pollution is a local, pan-European and hemispheric issue. Air pollutants released in one country may be transported in the atmosphere, contributing to or resulting in poor air quality elsewhere.

Particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are now generally recognised as the three pollutants that most significantly affect human health. Long-term and peak exposures to these pollutants range in severity of impact, from impairing the respiratory system to premature death. Around 90 % of city dwellers in Europe are exposed to pollutants at concentrations higher than the air quality levels deemed harmful to health. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air has been estimated to reduce life expectancy in the EU by more than eight months. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic pollutant of increasing concern, with concentrations being above the threshold set to protect human health in several urban areas, especially in central and eastern Europe.

"Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."
