The cholesterol increases the stability of the cell membrane

Explanation:

The cholesterol molecules are intercalated in the fatty acid chains of the hydrophobic layer of the bilipid layer. They prevent the fatty acid chains from tightly packing together (from the many hydrogen bond interactions between the chains). Therefore the cell membrane retains fluidity even when temperature go below homeostatic levels in the body. In addition increase the boiling point of the cell membrane (acting the way impurities do) hence reducing its disruption even when temperature goes above homeostatic levels in the body.

For a lab assignment, you are presented with a fungus and are asked to observe and draw conclusions about its reproductive cycle
vlada-n [284]
According to the observation, I would conclude that the fungus has asexual form of reproduction.  This is because asexual spores germinate and produce new hyphae anytime and anywhere as long as the conditions are favorable. Sexual pores on the other hand need a time of dormancy after the are formed before they produce more hyphae.

The study of the similarities and differences between embryos of different organism
Alborosie
I believe the answer is comparative anatomy. It is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. Similar body parts may be homologies or analogies, such that both provide evidence of evolution. Similarities in embryos are evidence of common ancestry. For example all vertebrates embryos  have gill slits and tails.
