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

<h3 />

What are the control and experimental group in a study?

The control group in a study is the group in which no changes are applied to the group.

In the control group, the variables are kept constant, hence, the control group is also known as the constant group.

The experimental group in a study is the group to which the treatment being studied is applied. The control group receives the treatment of the variable under study.

Hence, the group that receives the drug 911-918 is the experimental group.

What is the major function of the lymphatic system?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: d. return leaked fluids back to the cardiovascular system.

Explanation:

The lymphatic system is a web of vessels and tissues that transfers clear fluid that is called as the lymph. The lymphatic system spreads all over the body and filters and clean up the lymph, abnormal cells and pathogens. The filters traps the foreign particles from the blood. It also promotes the filtered fluid to reach back to the cardiovascular system and distribute to all the parts of the body in the form of blood.
