Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

The plasma membrane of the eukaryotes are made of the phospholipid bilayer and the proteins are embedded or span the membrane bilayer. The carbohydrates are attached in moieties with the protein and lipid.

The fluidity of the membrane depends on the saturation, cholestrol and the hydrocarbon chains. The hydrocarbon chain is non polar in nature that allows the diffusion of non polar solutes across the membrane. This decreases the permeability of the polar molecules and the hydrophobic interactions in the membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>
