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.

"if left untreated, hypertension can lead to ____."
katrin2010 [14]

If left untreated, the probable lead for hypertension to an individual is kidney failure. It is because the blood pressure is associated with the kidneys because the nephrons of the kidneys are being supplied with the blood vessels dense network and also because of the blood that flows through it, when there is a presence of hypertension and left untreated, it could cause the kidney to weaken or harden—causing kidney failure.
