Answer:

Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. The trees of the rainforest that provide shelter for some species also provide the canopy that regulates the temperature, a necessity for many others.

Explanation

Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

What is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that helps in the movement of larger molecules ?

gladu [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Channel/Transport \ proteins}}$

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is also known as the cell membrane. It covers cells and regulates the transport of substances. Certain ones can pass and others cannot, depending on certain factors like size and polarity.

Smaller substances tend to diffuse or move across the membrane quite easily. However, larger molecules have a much harder time. Many depend on special proteins embedded in the membrane. These are called transport proteins and they form a channel so large molecules can still move in or out of the cell.

So, salt, water, and fats do not contribute to the movement of larger molecules, but <u>channel or transport proteins do and choice A is correct. </u>
