The correct answer is: A) The polarity of membrane phospholipids

Factors that affect membrane permeability are

1. Chemicals :

Some of the organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol can dissolve the membrane and thus, destroy the selective permeability of the membrane.

2. Temperature :

Too high temperatures denature the protein that are in the structure of the membrane destroying its selective permeability. On the other hand, too low temperature slows down molecule movements and the permeability decreases.

3. Cholesterol:

Increases the permeability by reducing the barrier formed by phospholipids’ heads

4. The saturation of hydrocarbon tails in membrane phospholipids:

Saturated fatty acids decrease permeability of the membrane because  they get very close together, which makes it harder for the molecules to pass through.

Creatine phosphate functions in the muscle cell by ________. creatine phosphate functions in the muscle cell by ________. storin
brilliants [131]
Am certain that Creatine phosphate functions in the muscle by storing energy that will be transferred to ADP to resynthesize ATP. All muscle cells have a little ATP within them that they can use immediately, however, only enough to last for about 3 seconds. Therefore, all muscle cells contain a high-energy compound called creatine phosphate which is broken down to make more ATP quickly.
