It is important that the phospholipid bilayer is both hydrophobic in the surface and hydrophilic inside to control and manage the incoming organic compounds mainly water from exceeding the needed amount or destablizing the concentration established by the cells.

Why is the ability of the cell membrane to be "picky" important?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

It is very important for the cell membrane to be <em>semi-permeable</em> because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.

An example of when this is important is in this scenario:

Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane <u>wasn't</u><u> </u> semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. <u>BECAU</u><u>SE</u> the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose <em>not</em> to give the salt any water, keeping them alive

Hope this helps

What is one way that matter moves from<br> the geosphere to the hydrosphere?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Water in the geosphere can be discharged into surface water, becoming part of the hydrosphere once again, or it could be drawn up into the roots of a plant and become part of the biosphere. Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.
