Answer: B) proteins in the membrane act like gates to control entrance and exit of molecules.

Explanation: Plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids bilayer in which the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids face each other to form the core of the bilayer. Proteins are embedded in the bilayer through an interaction between the amino acid side chains and the nonpolar acyl chains of the phospholipids. The embedded membrane proteins form channels for passage of ions and other molecules. Each membrane protein is selected for one or more ions or molecules that passes through it. The membrane is said to be semipermeable because it allows the passage of some molecules and excludes the passage of others.

Answer:

hey! hope this helps love!

Dark reaction means that light is not necessary for this part of photosynthesis. In the dark reaction, CO2 from the atmosphere is fixed or becomes part of a carbohydrate dioxide into the form of carbohydrates-organic molecules used as food for the plant. This process is called the Calvin Cycle.
