One of the reasons the plasma membrane can have<span> selective permeability</span><span> it's because it's composed by a bi-layer of phospholipids.
The interaction between them and other molecules will influence how these molecules will cross the membrane. If the molecule it's </span>hydrophobic it can easily cross, if it's polar molecules and ions( hydrophilic), they cannot cross easily.
The Human Respiratory system.
For every 2 people, they would have 1 child. When all the parents die, the population would have 1/2. China had this policy for a while
The heads of the phospholipids, which are positioned outwards on both layers, are hydrophilic. The trails of both layers are hydrophobic and face inwards, and protected by the outer layers.
