The correct answer is: d. membrane thickness

Cholesterol is the second major lipid in the structure of the cell membrane (phospholipids are the major lipid components).

Cholesterol is rigid, so it gives the cell membrane extra support (strength and hardness) by immobilizing some of the lipid molecules around them. This rigidity makes it harder for small molecules to pass through the membrane, so it also has the influence on cell membrane’s permeability (the membrane becomes effective barrier to ions).

Cell membrane’s fluidity is also under the influence of the cholesterol which helps generate some extra space between the lipids allowing them to move freely throughout the membrane.

How is the phloem in a leaf related to the roots of the plant?
wel

Answer:

The phloem carries important sugars, organic compounds, and minerals around a plant. Sap within the phloem simply travels by diffusion between cells and works its way from leaves down to the roots with help from gravity. The phloem is made from cells called 'sieve-tube members' and 'companion cells'.
