Answer: True
Explanation: The plasma membrane is a membrane the protects the cell and its environment. It regulates what goes inside and what comes out of the cell. .
Plasma membrane as a structure composed of multiple components, including phospholipid bilayer, carbohydrates, and other lipids. The phospholipids possess one head and two tails. The head is basically polar and hydrophilic (water-loving) while the tails are non-polar and hydrophobic (water-fearing).
The plasma membrane is decorated with proteins. Some protiens are extrinsic proteins that run halfway through the membrane, while others are called integral proteins that go entirely through the membrane. The function of these proteins is to serve as channels to allow the molecules to enter and leave the cell.
<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!
Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.
Active Transport
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).
Phagocytosis
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.
Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.
Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>

Answer:
This is due to the event of Speciation that happened for the rodents in Island B but not for the rodents in Island C.
Explanation:
- Due to splitting of the population,
- The sub-population of rodents formed in Island B are B1 and B2.
- The sub-population of rodents formed in Island C are C1 and C2.
- In case of Island B, each of the B1 and B2 sub-populations that got split from each other developed certain mutations that were necessary for them to adapt to the particular diverse environment each of them were exposed to, through the period of 50,000 years. These mutations were so varied that reproductive isolation was generated between them that resulted in each of them to develop into different species.Hence, speciation happens here and B1 and B2 are incapable of inter-breeding.
- In case of Island C, each of the C1 and C2 sub-populations that got split might have got exposed to similar environmental change or no environmental change or the environmental change might have been too small to cause drastic change in each of the sub-populations. As a result of this the two sub-populations might have acquired certain mutations to adapt to the environment each of them were exposed to, through a period of 100,000 years. These mutations might not have been too variable or contrasting to cause reproductive isolation between C1 and C2. Hence, no new speciation happens here and C1 and C2 are capable of inter-breeding.
