The plasma membrane or the cell
membrane is the one that protects the cytoplasm of a cell. It is mostly
composed of lipids and proteins. It has a phospholipid bilayer that controls
the entering and exiting of molecules in the cell and at the same time,
provides protection for the cell or plasma membrane. It has polar head and a
nonpolar tail. Proteins embedded within the phospholipid bilayer have the same
function of the plasma membrane that includes selective transport. The
phospholipid bilayer consists mainly of the lipid molecules.
C. proteins-
The cytoskeleton is what provides structural support for a cell, and the cytoskeleton is made out of fibrous proteins.

Explanation:
Iron absorption occurs in the duodenum and upper jejunum of small intestine
- At physiological pH ferrous iron is rapidly oxidized to the insoluble ferric form
- Gastric acid lowers the pH in the duodenum which enhances the solubility and uptake of ferric iron
- Once iron gets inside the enterocyte it can be stored as ferritin;Ferritin is a hollow spherical protein which helps in storage and regulation of iron levels within the body
- Ferritin molecule have ferroxidase activity which helps in the mobility of Fe2+ out of the enterocyte by ferroportin
- Transferrin is the major iron transport protein which transports iron through blood
- Fe3+ binds to transferrin so Fe2+ transported through ferroportin must be oxidized to Fe3+
- Fe2+ needs to be oxidized first so that it can be transported through ferroportin
- Once iron gets inside the cell it can be used for various cellular processes
Answer:
Embryo
Explanation:
An embryo refers to the early stage of development of a multi-cellular organism and it occurs just immediately after fertilization. This development often continues through the formation of cell, tissues, organs.
An embryo is formed from the fertilization of a female ova by a male sperm.
