Answer:C). A phospholipid bilayer with proteins

Explanation: A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids are non polar and hydrophobic while the phosphate groups are polar and hydrophilic. The hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids interact with each by facing each other, forming a bilayer with a fluid interior. The polar head groups face outward interacting with the external environment of the cell. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer and they float in this sea of phospholipids. Proteins anchored to the membrane through interactions between the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids and the amino acid side chains of the proteins. These lipids and proteins swim laterally in each face of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

the data collected over the years clearly confirm depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. what do scientists still need to learn
Lisa [10]

<span>Ozone is simply a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms, which reacts strongly with other molecules. Ozone is created in the stratosphere when high energy uv radiation causes on O2 molecule to split. The free oxygen atoms collide and react with other O2 molecules to form O3.</span>

Production is highest where the solar uv is the greatest eg near the tropics, but once created, the ozone is then circulated towards the poles by the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere can vary with location, season and even day to day climatic conditions.

<span>The process of ozone creation is what makes the O3 in the atmosphere very effective at shielding the Earth from harmful uv radiation, which can cause many biological problems, such as skin cancer. However, due to its high reactivity, the uv found in the tropospher at ground level can aslo be dangerous as a toxic pollutant which is harmful to plants and lung tissue, and is a major cause of smog.</span>

Scientists use tissue cultures to study possible medicines that can be used to treat cancer patients. What is one benefit of thi
Eduardwww [97]

The answer is A. When a potent drug is discovered, it has to undergo animal and human trials to test it ADMET (Absorption, Distribution Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) properties. Using tissue cultures to test drugs, such as cancer drugs, prevents the incidence of subjecting humans to the unknown adverse effects of the drugs before the drugs are determined to be safe for use.
