<span>It is important that the phospholipid bilayer is both hydrophobic in the surface and hydrophilic inside to control and manage the incoming organic compounds mainly water from exceeding the needed amount or destablizing the concentration established by the cells. </span>
<span>Hydrophilic is a characteristic of an object which is attracted to water or can synthesize with water. In contrast to hydrophobic like fats, oils and lipis which has a strong aversion and dislike to water molecules. </span>
Transmembrane proteins are found in the plasma membrane. Hydrophilicregions are embedded <span>within the membrane, and Hydrophobic regions project from both surfaces of the bilayer. </span><span>
Approximately 20-80% of the cell membrane is composed of lipids, the rest, is made up of protein. The lipid layer of the membrane gives it flexible and permeable characteristic. While the protein part assists in transport of molecules it needs to survive.<span>

Answer:
D. Mitochondria are large enough to be seen with modern light microscopy, and can occupy as much as 20% of cytoplasmic volume.
Explanation:
Mitochondria are oval shaped organelles responsible for cellular respiration.
One of their defining characteristics
is the influx of protons from the mitochondrial membrane that enables ATP synthesis.
Mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell.
Structurally, mitochondria are spherocylindrical with a length of 2 microns and a diameter of 1 micron.
Answer:
Option (4)
Explanation:
Carbon forms the basin element for the existence of life. It is present in the atmosphere in the form of CO₂, which is one of the major green house gas. It plays an important role in the carbon cycle.
The increase in the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere can lead to the global rise in the temperature. It can lead to global warming. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere has been rising continuously, right after the industrial revolution.
The carbon is mainly emitted from the heavy industries and factories, vehicles, burning up of fossil fuels. It also increased due to the increasing absorption of solar radiation.
This emission of carbon if not controlled by the humans, then the concentration of carbon in the atmosphere will abruptly increase after some decades.
Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
Answer:
I do not agree with this statement.
Explanation:
Plants and some bacterias are autotrophic, meaning that they manufacture their own food from basic elements using an energy source in an anabolic process. Plants mostly utilize sunlight which they trap with the help of their green pigmentation called chlorophyll. Bacteria on the other hand mostly get their energy source by splitting chemical compounds, utilizing the liberated bond energy of the compound (examples is the sulfur bacteria) to fuel their food building process.
