Answer:

Chlorofluorocarbons are made of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms.

Explanation:

Organic compounds composed of carbon, fluorine, and chlorine are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic, non-flammable chemicals used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, packing materials, as refrigerants, and as solvents.

When UV light rays strike CFC molecules in the stratosphere this results in the displacement of a chlorine atom. Then chlorine atom destroys the ozone by reacting with an ozone molecule breaking it apart.

SO, chlorofluorocarbons are made of carbon, chlorine and fluorine.

Answer:

(D) a protein

Explanation:

The plasma membrane has proteins that are macromolecules responsible for the movement of large molecules in and out of the cell. If these proteins are damaged, this movement will be stopped.

In addition to acting preferentially on the transport mechanisms, organizing true tunnels that allow substances to pass into and out of the cell, these proteins function as membrane receptors, charged with receiving signals from substances that carry some message to the cell, favor the Adhesion of adjacent cells in a tissue, moreover, serve as the anchor point for the cytoskeleton.
