Answer: Cell membrane is layer which is present in all living cells. It is present under the cell wall but in some cases such as plant cells.

Explanation: It is composed of lipid bilayer and proteins embedded in it. Phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols is the composition. Its function is to protect the cell from extracellular environment. It is semipermeable membrane that js allow only selected molecules to pass.

Answer: A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that defines the external boundaries of cells and regulate the molecular traffic across the boundary.

Explanation: Cell membranes are flexible, self-sealing and selectively permeable bilayer of phospholipids with proteins embedded in the bilayer through hydrophobic interactions. Cell membranes are formed by the interactions of the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids, the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids face each other while their polar head groups face outward, thus forming a bilayer with a fluid hydrophobic core. The selective permeability of membranes makes them to retain certain compounds and ions within cells while excluding others. Cell membranes include an array of proteins specialized for promoting or catalyzing various cellular processes such as synthesis of lipids and certain proteins and the energy transductions in mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Once inside the lungs, these arteries split into increasingly smaller branches that eventually reach the pulmonary capillary bed
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

This is the site of gaseous exchange

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange is the mechanism by which oxygen is substituted for CO₂ in the body. CO₂ laden blood is carried to the alveoli, which is wrapped with numerous capillary beds and with walls that are thin. When a person inhales, the difference in the partial pressure of the various gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) causes them t move down their concentration gradients, with CO₂ diffusion into the lungs from red blood cells, and oxygen binding to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells, after which they are carried to all body tissues for cellular respiration. During exhalation, the CO₂ in the lungs is expelled to the exterior and the process repeats.
