Answer:

D. can control the transport of small molecules and ions.

Explanation:

Bilayers are critical components of cell membranes. The lipid bilayer acts as a barrier to the passage of molecules and ions into and out of the cell. However, an important function of the cell membrane is to allow selective passage of certain substances into and out of cells.

The lipid bilayers are highly permeable to non-polar (fat-soluble) molecules. The permeability of the bilayers to polar (water soluble) molecules is very low, and the permeability is particularly low to large polar molecules. The permeability to charged molecular species (ions) is very low.

When is a covalent bond described as polar? Choose one: when electrons are transferred from one atom to another if covalently bo
melomori [17]

Answer:

if electrons are shared unequally between bonded atoms

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is a bond that is formed due to the unequal distribution of electrons between two partially charged atoms. This is observed when the difference in electronegativity between the bond atoms is between 0.5 and 1.7.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons that form the bond are unevenly distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electric dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

The charge of the electric dipoles is less than a full unit charge, so they are considered partial charges and are called delta plus (δ +) and delta minus (δ-).

Because positive and negative charges are separated at the bond, molecules with polar covalent bonds interact with the dipoles of other molecules. This produces intermolecular dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.

3. What is the easiest way to create electron configurations?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

To calculate an electron configuration, divide the periodic table into sections to represent the atomic orbitals, the regions where electrons are contained. Groups one and two are the s-block, three through 12 represent the d-block, 13 to 18 are the p-block and the two rows at the bottom are the f-block.Explanation:

92 grams of ethanol,C2H5OH, is dissolved in 1 liter of solution. Determine the molarity (M)
const2013 [10]

Answer:  1.997 M

Explanation:

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution or M = \frac{mol}{L}

first we have to find our moles of solute (mol), which you can find by dividing the mass of solute by molar mass of solute

mass of solute: 92 g

molar mass of solute: 46.08 g/mol

let's plug it in:

\frac{92 g}{46.08 g/mol} = 1.997 mol

next, we plug it into our original equation:

\frac{1.997mol}{1 L} = 1.997 M

If the weight of displaced liquid and the weight of an object are the same, the object will:
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Float

Explanation:

If the weight of liquid displaced and the weight of an object are the same, the object will float in the liquid.

From Archimedes principle, when an object is immersed in fluid, a force called upthrust supports it and it equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

When in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced is the same as that of the of the object, it will float and not sink.
