Some solutes are able to pass directly through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane, whereas other solutes require a transport

protein or other mechanism to cross between the inside and the outside of a cell. The fact that the plasma membrane is permeable to some solutes but not others is what is referred to as selective permeability. Which of the following molecules can cross the lipid bilayer of a membrane directly, without a transport protein or other mechanism?
Select all that apply.a) proteinsb) waterc) ionsd) sucrosee) lipidsf) carbon dioxideg) oxygen

Answer:

Water

Oxygen

Carbon dioxide

Lipids

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer with a hydrophobic core made of nonpolar tails of phospholipids. The plasma membrane allows only uncharged, small and hydrophobic substances to pass through it. Charged particles such as ions, polar molecules such as sucrose can not cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide gases have small sizes and can diffuse through the spaces between the tails of phospholipids of lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane without any transport proteins. Lipids are hydrophobic and therefore, do not need any transport proteins to cross the lipid bilayer. The small water molecules are also free to move through the membrane.

Explanation:

  • Turtles are excellent divers, but from time to time they must go back to the surface to breathe. As turtles have a carapace, they can not extend and contract the ribs to breathe. Instead, they use their fin muscles and swimming movement to bomb air from inside to outside of the lungs. Many turtles species can not dive in deeps because their carapace is so hard that it might crush as they are diving because of water pressure. But some other species are adapted to deep-diving. These marine turtles keep huge amounts of oxygen in their muscles and blood instead of keeping them in the lungs. They can dive for a very long time in the deep, most of the time foraging, escaping from predators or to regulate their body temperature. These species can handle the pressure because their carapace is not that hard, so it allows the body to compress and not to be crushed by water pressure.

  • Most aquatic snakes are known to dive near the surface, where water is warmer and helps them to regulate their body temperature. But some other species are adapted to dive up to 250 meters deep where they can forage over a wider amount of prey. Independently of how deep they can swim, all of these aquatic animals must go back to the surface for gas exchanging. They can hold the breath for 5 or 6 hours, but after that period they must breathe. Some marine snakes are adapted to deep diving: their bodies are very laterally comprised and they can face the breathing problem through skin gas exchanging. Although they have developed these adaptations, at some point they must breathe.

  • Water Lilies need light and warm water to grow. They grow fast and colonize illuminated places, in warm and shallow water. The deeper the plant is located, the slower it will grow. These plants can not live in waters over five feet deep, because deep water is cold and poorly lighted, and tubers and rhizomes take a long time to establish in these places.

  • Mangrove trees have roots called pneumatophores that allow them to take oxygen from the air and produce gas exchange.  They can resist a periodic submersion but they need to drain. If these roots are constantly underwater they can not accomplish their respiratory function and the tree eventually dies. These species have different strategies to deal with salt, one of excreting it by their leaves. If leaves are underwater, they are not able to do this, increasing salt levels in their system.

How does teaching the public about energy conservation help decrease air pollution?
Dimas [21]

It reduces the demand of electricity because if people want to decrease the amount of air pollution they would stop using things that would cause pollution for example, people stopping to use gasoline powered cars and use electric cars more, therefore the demand for electricity will go low since lesser people will be using it.
