Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

Having a single layer of phospholipid would mean that regulation of substances moving in and out of the cells will be possible in one direction only i.e., in or out of the cell (depending on which side the layer is present). The single layer may not be able to hold the shape of the cell as effectively. It is very likely that almost all of the cell's functions are impacted due to this change.

Answer:

The membranes must have a lipid bilayer in order to maintain the internal homeostasis of the cell.

If they do not have the lipid bilayer, a highly hydrophilic compartment will be formed inside the cell, generating water retention and fat inhibition to the LIC.

Explanation:

The lipid bilayers are perfectly designed so that a selective diffusion of proteins or other chemical compounds is generated and thus maintain the balance of the cell with the external environment, without generating imbalances.

A membrane with a single layer of phospholipids is considered incomplete and ineffective, that is why there will only be attraction of hydrophobic molecules in the external zone surrounding the cell, and internal hydrophilic cells that will not be able to escape into the LEC space.

LIC is intracellular liquid

LEC is extracellular liquid
