Answer: Option B. are able to drift about in the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Membrane phospholipid are having a amphiphilic structure which contains a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group and two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" that are connected to a glycerol molecule.

In contact with water, membrane phospholipid hydrophobic tail avoid interaction with water molecules and allow to drift about in the plasma membrane. the hydrophilic heads line up against each other and forms lipid bi-layer that faces towards water.

The movement of membrane phospholipid forms the fluid mosaic model,in which lipid molecules act as solvent and proteins embedded in it. This allows the proteins and lipid to move across plasma membrane.

Hence, The structural property of membrane phospholipid makes them able to drift about in the plasma membrane

In a one-group pretest-posttest design affected by the problem of testing effects, the reduction found on the posttest is likely

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

taking the pretest

Explanation:

A one-group pretest–posttest design is a type of research design generally used in behavioral research aimed at estimating the treatment effects on the sample. In this experimental design, the target group of participants is first pre-tested on the dependent variable and, subsequently, post-tested after the administration of a treatment. In consequence, the participants of the target group receive the same treatment and assessment. The problem of testing effects indicates that testing may become a problem when the pretest may change participant's behavior. When there are statistically significant differences between the pretest and posttest data, it is possible to support the working hypothesis.

Explain how water’s polarity is related to its boiling point

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The greater the forces of attraction the higher the boiling point or the greater the polarity the higher the boiling point. ... The other molecules are slightly polar and show the increase in boiling point with molecular weight which is normal. Instead, water boils at +100 C, which is very abnormal.

Hope this helps a little
