Answer:

The polarity of membrane phospholipids

Explanation:

The inner core of membranes is made of nonpolar tails of phospholipids which in turn makes the membranes impermeable for polar, large and charged substances since these substances cannot cross the non-polar inner core. The saturated hydrocarbon tails pack tightly and make membrane less permeable while cholesterol affects the membrane permeability by interacting with non-polar tails.

Higher temperatures make the membrane more fluid and more permeable while at lower temperatures, membranes are more rigid due to tight packing of hydrocarbon tails and less permeable. The polar heads of phospholipids make the inner and outer surface of the membrane. Therefore, the polarity of phospholipids does not affect the membrane permeability.

What is the life cycle of a butterfly?
Naddika [18.5K]
Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, and their life cycle contains 4 stages.

First, they are born as an egg. 

Then, they are hatched as a larva. They now eat flowers and leaves and will molt constantly. 

Next, they become a chrysalis, or a pupa. This is a resting stage.

Then is the long awaited adult stage, where butterflies take the form of the beloved, beautiful, winged insects we've come to admire. They no long grow and will now reproduce and repeat the cycle.

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
