8 0

Answer:

The fluid mosaic model was used to explain the structure of the cell membrane. This model was well accepted model and given by Singer and Nicolson.

According to this model, the cell membrane is composed of lipids and proteins. The  lipid layer is arranged and the proteins are inserted or span the bilayer. Some proteins are trans-membrane proteins, peripheral proteins and integral membrane proteins. Cholesterol are also inserted in this membrane. The carbohydrates are present in association with proteins or lipids on the cell membrane.

Biodiversity helps ecosystems thrive, and generally keeps things in balance. However, introducing too many species in an area can cause increase competition for food, risking predators of different species to kill one another off.

Which one of the following molecules can MOST easily pass through the plasma membrane unassisted?
Anton [14]

The molecule that can MOST easily pass through the plasma membrane without assistance is carbon dioxide (CO2). Diffusion is a type of passive transport that occurs when molecules move in favor of a concentration gradient.

During diffusion, molecules move high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are non-polar gasses that move across cell membranes by a process called simple diffusion.

Simple diffusion is a type of passive transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes.

They are responsible for the digestion and general processing of triglycerides. There are several different lipases in the human body, pancreatic lipase acting in the small intestine, hepatic lipase, lipase acting in the endothelium and lipase in the bile acid.
