The property of the phospholipid bilayer that allows proteins to move laterally in the membrane would be the ability to behave as a two-dimensional fluid where the molecules can freely move laterally. It is an important property and is affected by composition and temperature largely.
Water soluble hormones affect target cells by binding to Plasma membrane receptor. The cell surface receptor is the binding site for water soluble hormones.The water soluble hormones must bind to binding site (cell surface receptor) because they are unable pass through plasma membrane freely due to their polarity.
The correct answer is polarity. Water's polarity<span> makes it an excellent solvent for salts, like sodium chloride, as well as other substances required by cells to carry out metabolic processes.Water is known as universal solvent as it dissolves most of the substances. This is because of it chemical composition, a water molecule has one electronegative oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms as its constituents.</span>
At High growth rate population the supply of earth expected to be used up the soonest.
<u>Explanation</u>:
High growth of population leads to an exponential increase in the population numbers.
For example, the high growth in a family of 2 will lead to more 2 children and the cycle continues. There is growth in a geometric fashion in multiples of 2 like 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. This will lead to strain on the natural resources and lead to their depletion.
At high rate of population growth the natural resources of Earth are expected to be depleted the fastest.
