Answer:

a. pass readily through a membrane's lipid bilayer

Explanation:

Molecules or substances move to and fro the cell via the cell membrane, which is selectively permeable i.e. controls the passage of molecules in and out the cell.

Small, non-polar hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids will not be repelled by lipid-containing cell membrane, hence, enters the cell via SIMPLE DIFFUSION. This means that they pass readily through a membrane's lipid bilayer without aid. Fatty acids are able to do this because they are a class of lipids and are soluble in lipid layer of the cell membrane.

Scientists cannot use the scientific method to reproduce another scientists experiment True or False

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

One of the proof of a good scientific experiment is the ability to reproduce the steps leading to the results obtained from the experiment.

To proof the validity of the claims of an experiment by other scientists:

Every experiment must be reproduceable by other scientists.
This will enable the experiment to be rid of any bias.
For the conclusions of an experiment to be validated by other scientists, such experiment should be tested by others.
If the results are the same, then the hypothesis can be advanced.
If not, the experiment is redesigned or discarded.
