Tails of the phospholipids in the phospholipid bilayer are hydrophobic,  consisting of fatty acid chains.  
<span>Phospholipids are composed of two fatty acids, glycerol and phosphate groups, forming an amphipathic molecule. Amphipathic molecules are built from hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (not attracted to water) molecules. The phospholipids in the plasma membrane are arranged in two layers, called a phospholipid bilayer. Hydrophobic molecules (fatty acids) are on the interior of the membrane, whereas the water-loving heads (phosphate head) point outwards, toward either the cytoplasm or the fluid that surrounds the cell. The head group and fatty acids are attached <span>to </span>a glycerol unit.</span>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

2.glucose move into chamber B faster than fructose

Explanation:  

  • Facilitated diffusion: refers to the transport of hydrophilic molecules that are not able to freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this <u>passive transport</u>. If uncharged molecules need to be carried <u>this process depends on concentration gradients</u> and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an electrochemical gradient. The glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.  Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.  

The exposed scenario is an example of facilitated diffusion, a process that occurs in favor of the concentration gradient, and which rate depends on the concentration of molecules in each side of the membrane, in this case, glucose and fructose, among other factors that might also influence the diffusion rate. So, as the concentration of glucose is higher in chamber A (80%), and lower in chamber B (20%), in comparison with fructose, the first one will diffuse faster than fructose. The difference in concentration between both chambers is sharper in glucose, so its transport is faster than the fructose transport, which will also diffuse but at a lower rate.

!!!almost done!!!
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Xylem cell is a plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

2. Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of the transport and distribution of organic nutrients. The phloem is also a pathway to signaling molecules and has a structural function in the plant body.

3. Stomata are composed of a pair of specialized epidermal cells referred to as guard cells. Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.

4. Guard cells optimize leaf gas exchange in response to changing environmental conditions and their turgor is controlled by alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentration, light intensity, humidity, and the drought hormone abscisic acid.
