<span>Mosses receive their water from rainfall and most of their nutrients are dissolved in this water that has accumulated as dust on them. Their nutrient uptake is effected by the osmosis. Highly concentrated nutrients can kill them because they have no ability to regulate the absorption.</span>
Answer: Option E) polar
Amino acid-derived and peptide hormones are unable to diffuse across a cell membrane because they are polar
Explanation:
Amino acid-derived and peptide hormones such as serotonin, epinephrine, dopamine etc, are unable to diffuse across a cell membrane because they consist of several repeating units of amino acids with positively charged or negatively charged side chains.
Thus, the side chains make these hormones water-loving (hydrophilic), and impassable to the hydrophobic layer of the cell membrane.
