Answer:

Non polar part of  phospholipid molecules

Explanation:

The head of the phospholipid molecule is hydrophilic which means it can easily be wetted by water or it can dissolve in water but the long fatty acid chain which is non polar in nature do not mix with water any way and thus, it is insoluble in water.

The phsopholipid molecuel in the cell membrane prevents the dissolution of cell organelled and its other component in water through this  nonpolar, insoluble long fatty acid chain

What main criterion determines major divisions in tje geologic time scale?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A) Times of major climate change

Explanation:

The geological time scale is based on major changes in Earth's climate history. This is because of the reason that climate governs the geological processes on Earth. In geology, we study the ages with the help of stratigraphical data where sediment deposition and the fossils it is hosting are the keys to understand the environmental conditions at that particular time. These conditions didn't change significantly unless the climate was changed. An example is the extinction of dinosaurs during K/T boundary event (mass extinction). The most likely reason is the hitting of a meteorite on Earth that changed the climate of Earth in a short period making it least favorable for many organisms to survive.

On the other hand, the occurrence of huge events cannot be used to establish a geological time scale because sometimes, the changes happen more slowly.

Similarly, shifts in the Earth orbits are cyclic however geological time scale doesn't reflect cyclic changes. The same climate can establish in different ages but these events are not used not as a criterion to establish a geological time scale.

In the end, the time span of humans on Earth is very small when compared with the overall geological time scale. Humans record exists from Pleistocene (2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago) to today whereas geological time scale starts in the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago).

Symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings, the daffodil is virtually synonymous with spring. Though their botanic name is narcissus, daffodils are sometimes called jonquils, and in England, because of their long association with Lent, they're known as the "Lent Lily." A daffodil is a spring-flowering bulb, Narcissus is the name of a genus which includes flower bulbs like Jonquils, Paper whites and so forth. Narcissi (plural form of Narcissus) are easily grown from bulbs.
