Answer:

The correct answer is option 'e' : Cholesterol

Explanation:

The ease at which materials can be transported across a membrane depends on the membrane permeability. Membrane permeability is basically the ease at which materials are transported across membrane . As we know that upon increasing the viscosity of any fluid it's resistance to deformation increases or it applies a greater resisting force if we try to change the shape of the membrane thus reducing the permeability of the membrane. the increase in cholesterol increases the viscosity of the membrane thus reducing it's permeability.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

well from what i can see based on the data in the graph is that, since the accidental introduction of species 3 the population of the other 2 species has decreased quite a bit. While you can also observe that the population of population 3 continues to grow.

This suggests 3 possibilities to me

possibility 1. species 3 is consuming leaves just like the other 2 species causing a scarcity in food.

possibility 2. species 3 is consuming the other 2 species causing the decrease in population.

possibility 3. species 3 and the other species may be fighting over shelter, food, or water, causing more lizard fatalities.
