Answer: Lipid molecules.

Explanation: Biological membranes are bilayer of phospholipids that control the entrance and exit of molecules in the cells. The major components of phospholipids are the fatty acids. Phospholipids have two components: the fatty acyl chains and the phosphate group. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids molecules face each other at the core of the bilayer, forming a fluid hydrophobic interior while the phosphate (polar head) groups face outward. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer held by hydrophobic interactions between the membrane lipids and hydrophobic domains in the proteins. Both proteins and lipids move laterally in the plane of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

Describe the first three life cycle stages of a frog.

Masteriza [31]

Answer: The correct answer is as follows:

Stage 1) Egg - Frogs begin their life as fertilized eggs. A typical female frog can lay thousands of eggs, depending on the species. In the pond, the eggs float on the water in clusters until they hatch in 2-3 weeks.

Stage 2) Larva (tadpole) - During the tadpole stage, the frogs eat, grow and develop into froglets (with four legs) through a process called metamorphosis. As tadpoles, they rely on rudimentary gills, mouths, and tails for swimming. The tadpole's diet includes other frog eggs, bugs, mosquito larvae, and other dead insects. As their four legs and external respiration develops, the froglet is almost ready to leave the water.

Stage 3) Adult - At around 12 weeks of age, the frog has reached maturity as an adult and is ready to explore dry land. With its gills and tail totally absorbed back into the body, the frog remains an amphibian but spends most of its time out of the water. As an adult, the frog uses its sticky tongue to capture and eat insects, snails, slugs, and worms. They return to the water to lay new eggs and the cycle of life repeats.
