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 are fossils and how do they support Darwin's ideas?
irinina [24]
<span>Darwin essentially argued that living things are engaged in a 'struggle for existence' and that any features they possess which affect their survival and reproductive potential will be subjected to continuous selective pressure. This might be seen as his 'new big idea' in the whole evolution thing. This means that through time those features which confer an advantage in the struggle for life will be retained and those that constitute a handicap will be lost. Not for individuals but for the race. So the composition of the population (or species) changes through time, eventually producing such widely divergent forms that cannot interbreed, and are so called separate species. That is a brief outline of the theory.</span>

Mademuasel [1]

The cerebellum is the part of the brain that contributes to coordination and accurate timing whenever a human being is doing an action.  In this scenario, Derek damaged his cerebellum severely which might lead in lack of coordination and timing whenever he does a certain action or movement.
