ermines which solutes can cross the plasma membrane.b. The plasma membrane is a covalently linked network of phospholipids and proteins that controls the movement of solutes into and out of a cell.c. Carbohydrates on the membrane surface are important in determining the overall bilayer structure.d. The two sides of the plasma membrane have different lipid and protein composition.e. The hydrophilic interior of the membrane is composed primarily of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic – meaning they are ‘water-hating’. This is why they are in the middle of the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane 'hiding' from the 'watery' environment of a cell. This poses a challenge in the diffusion of large and charged molecules across the membrane -such as sodium ions. Such molecules need transmembrane protein channels to help them cross the membrane. These are called integral proteins because they are part and parcel of the cell membrane. The cell membrane, in addition, also has glycolipids and glycoproteins on its surface that are significant in the identification of the cell by other cells.

certain chest deformities prevent normal expansion of the chest . Explain why this makes ventilation difficult in terms of press
Mila [183]
Chest deformities can be responsible for the death of a person as well. These deformities result in the increase of pressure in the chest and build up of carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide build up will always disrupt the flow or volume of oxygen that is required by a person. This results in a situation that is known by the term hypercapnia.

Dale’s _____ carry instructions from his central nervous system to his muscles.
Sliva [168]

Dale’s motor neurons carry instructions from his central nervous system to his muscles.

Motor neurons are special brain nerve cells that transmit impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland. The motor neurons functions with a network of other neurons, situated within the spinal cord and the brain. The two main subtypes of the motor neurons are; the upper motor neurons (which comes from the brain and connects with the lower motor neurons), and the lower motor neurons (which localize in the brainstem and the spinal cord).
