Answer:

Hydrophobic interaction.

Explanation:

On the basis of the polarity and the dissolution of water, the molecules can be classified into the hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules. The hydrophobic molecules can easily dissolve in the non polar solvents.

The hydrophobic interaction is important that exist between the non polar molecules. The hydrophobic interaction plays an important role in the biological system as the lipids of the cell membrane are assisted together with the hydrophobic interaction. The hydrocarbon tail is non polar molecules that contains hydrophobic interaction within it.

Thus, the correct answer is hydrophobic interaction.

Serga [27]

People are often able to live in a coma for several years because parts of the body that are not under conscious control continue to function. This situation best reflects the importance of the

A) central nervous system

B) autonomic nervous system

C) somatic nervous system

D) forebrain

Answer:

B) autonomic nervous system

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It comes under the motor division of the peripheral nervous system. The function of this division of the nervous system is to deliver the motor information from the central nervous system to the smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.  The responses produced by these muscles and glands are not controlled by the will or conscious of the individuals.  

Due to the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, the person under the coma could perform the activities such as breathing, pumping of heart to deliver the oxygen to the body cells, etc. and stay live.

what would you if cell membrane became impermeable instead of selectively permeable could cell remain alive
natali 33 [55]
If a cell membrane became impermeable, instead of selectively permeable, the cell would not remain alive, though certain organisms would be able to stay alive longer than others. This is because the cell membrane allows essential molecules and substances such as oxygen into the cell, while allowing harmful substances, like waste, out of the cell.
