How can a membrane be permeable to one substance while being impermeable to another substance?

Biology
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]3 years ago

Answer:

It varies due to their polarities.

Explanation:

Remember, a membrane is a semi-permeable membrane. There are some substances that can cross the membrane and others have to take different route. It all comes down to their polarity. If we were to examine a membrane made of phospholipid bilayers, one side of it has hydrophilic heads and the inside has hydrophobic tails. The membrane is therefore polar, allowing polar substances to enter in and out of the cell. Non polar substances, such as water have to take a different route, through special proteins called aquaporins.

Fault trees are an approach to hazard analysis that, for each identified hazard, break down that hazard to find how that hazard
Alexus [3.1K]

Hazards are placed at the root of the tree and determining the cause of the hazard is the correct option for the following hazard analysis questions.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) explores how selected “top” faults (abnormal conditions) or fault events such as accidental/unwanted releases of hazardous materials can be resolved to their causes. Hazard analysis is defined as the process of gathering and interpreting information about the hazards and conditions leading to their existence in order to determine what is food safety related and must be addressed in the HACCP plan. Hazard analysis is used as the first step in the risk assessment process. The result of hazard analysis is the identification of different types of hazards. A hazard is a potential condition that may or may not exist.
