Answer:

d. polar molecule like glucose

Explanation:

The lipid bilayer of cells are composed basically by lipids and some other proteins. These proteins can act as carries to get in or get out from the cell some substances. Since the lipids are non polar substances, the non polar molecules can travel easily because they are similar substances, in the case of the polar substances they need some carriers and in the case that they don`t enter by a carrier, so the nature of the molecule is not so soluble in the lipid bilayer, in this way will cross at a slowest rate.

How many bacteria cells are produced at time T4 ?

Arada [10]

Answer:

256.

Explanation:

If a bacterium divides once in every half an hour, it means it will double in half an hour. Hence a number of the bacterium after half an hour will be 1×2=2. After one hour the number of bacterium will be 2×2=4. Similarly, it one and a half hours it will be 4×2=8. In two hours it will be 8×2=16 in two and half hours, it will be 16×2=32. In three hours it will be 32×2=64. In three and half hours it will be 64×2=128. Hence, in 4 (four) hours the number of bacterium will be 128×2=256.
