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.

What are the difference between a variable and a control
Gnom [1K]
A control is the normal behavior you are testing the variable against. There are two types of variables. The independent variable is what you change to test what the dependent variable is, which is the variable that changes due to the independent variable, and what you generally record your data over.
