Answer:

The hydrophobic core of the membrane does not allow the charged particles to pass through it.

Explanation:

The inner core of the membrane is made up of hydrophobic fatty acid tails of phospholipids. Due to this, some substances such as large, charged and polar particles cannot cross the membrane. This is why Na+ with a positive charge cross the membrane with the help of transport proteins only. On the other hand, molecular oxygen (O2) has a small structure and does not carry any charge. Therefore, it can cross the membrane without any help of transport proteins.

One of the four fundamental interactions in nature is? Electromagnetism Gravity Strong interaction All of the above
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The correct answer is  All of the above. In nature there are four forces, (also called interactions or fields in Physics) that are responsible for all phenomena in the universe: the gravitational force or interaction, the strong interaction, the electromagnetic and the weak nuclear.

Explanation:

The fundamental interactions or forces that describe all the interactions between the constituents of matter are each of the interactions that matter can undergo and that cannot be decomposed into more basic interactions. There are four basic forces that describe all interactions: Gravitational, that is responsible for the interaction between particles with mass and, by extension, for the configuration on a macroscopic scale of the Universe and its stability. Electromagnetic, is responsible for the interaction between electrically charged particles and, by extension, for all Chemical reactions, Weak is responsible for the disintegration of certain unstable particles; that is, of those processes in which some particles decompose (decay) into lighter ones and Strong interaction is the most complicated interaction to describe due to its different behaviors at different action distances; by means of which a global vision of the to physics without breaking it down.
