Answer:

The correct answer is hydrophobic tails of lipid bilayer forming cell membrane.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is the specialized structure which forms the outer boundary of the cell and controls the entry and exit of substances into the cell thus, determining the nature of its contact with environment.

The cell membrane structure consists of amphipathic phospholipids with two components arranged in a manner:

1. Hydrophilic "head" region- made of phosphate molecule interacting with aqueous side or the intracellular (cytosolic) and extracellular faces

2. Hydrophobic "tail" regions- made of fatty acid chains away from the surrounding water.

This, results in the formation of lipid bilayer.

Thus, the hydrophobic tails of lipid bilayer prevents water from entering the cell.

Which factor when doubled would produce the greatest change in the centripetal force?
yaroslaw [1]
Let us consider the centripetal force equation,  
centripetal force F = mv² / r  
 f= force
 v= velocity
 m= mass
 r= radius.
 
 in all the factors only velocity has the power of 2. so when you double the velocity then it will become square of that. 
 if v= 2v , F = m4v² / r 
 so velocity is doubled it would produce the greatest change in the centripetal force.

Zepler [3.9K]

Not sure what you mean by "witch label" but energy is released from ATP when one of the three phosphates is separated from the rest, converting ATP into ADP and releasing energy. I believe the process is just called ATP hydrolysis although there may be a term I'm unaware of.
