A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer, which is a double layer of phospholipids. Each phospholipid has a hydrophilic phosp

hate head and a hydrophobic lipid tail. These phospholipids are not chemically bound to one another, but rather maintain their structure due to the fact that the lipid tails do not like water. They’re hydrophobic. If they all buddy up, then they can all stay dry. (See the figure below.) What is the function of the phospholipid bilayer?

How does the suns energy cause a hurricane to form
BigorU [14]
The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then <span>strengthen and organize to form hurricanes. Hope this helps:)

Differentiate between ;
Rasek [7]

Answer:

1) The main difference between Fats and Oils is that, fats are usually derived from animals, whereas oils are usually derived from plants.

Fats and oils are very important for every human body. It is mainly essential for daily dietary plan. Fats and oils are totally different from each other. In simple terms, fats are animal fats whereas oils are vegetable oils. The other difference is fats tend to be solids at room temperature; on the other hand, oils tend to be liquid at room temperature. Remember, on the daily basis the two terms can be used interchangeably because both, fats and oils contain 9 calories per grams.

2) Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, but they do vary slightly in form and function. While triglycerides have glycerol and three fatty acids, phospholipids have glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate. Phosphates are molecules with charges and have oxygen and phosphorus. ... Fat cells do not store phospholipids.

3) Thoracic cavity, also called chest cavity, the second largest hollow space of the body. It is enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column, and the sternum, or breastbone, and is separated from the abdominal cavity (the body’s largest hollow space) by a muscular and membranous partition, the diaphragm. It contains the lungs, the middle and lower airways—the tracheobronchial tree—the heart, the vessels transporting blood between the heart and the lungs, the great arteries bringing blood from the heart out into general circulation, and the major veins into which the blood is collected for transport back to the heart. The heart is covered by a fibrous membrane sac called the pericardium that blends with the trunks of the vessels running to and from the heart. The thoracic cavity also contains the esophagus, the channel through which food is passed from the throat to the stomach.

4) An organelle (think of it as a cell's internal organ) is a membrane bound structure found within a cell. Just like cells have membranes to hold everything in, these mini-organs are also bound in a double layer of phospholipids to insulate their little compartments within the larger cells.

5) Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function. An organ is a structure that is composed of at least two or more tissue types and performs a specific set of functions for the body. Many organs working together to accomplish a common purpose is called an organ system.

6) Absorption: The process of absorbing food in the form of nutrients into the blood stream of the body. Assimilation: The process of nutrients being absorbed by each cell of the body in the form of energy. Egestion: Secretion of waste, unwanted and excess substances from the body after food the as been digestion

hope this answer helps you!!
