Water is a small molecule that easily diffuses through a cell membrane despite the lipid tails. The diffusion of water is what we call “osmosis”. Oxygen is a small molecule and it is also nonpolar, so it easily passes through a cell membrane.

It is able to pass through because of the high osmotic pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cell.

Most of the water passes through channels called “aquaporins”.

Answer:

Charles Darwin

Explanation:

Natural selection, most famously proposed by Charles Darwin, states that when presented with an environmental challenge, some individuals in a species will develop adaptations to face these challenges. Successful individuals will be more likely to mate and their offspring will inherit these adaptive traits, and will continue to pass for generations.

In this sense, plants face the challenge of the cold. Those that adapt to the cold will survive and reproduce, those that can't adapt to the cold will die. Eventually, only plants that can tolerate the cold will survive.
