Answer:
Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol backbone is bonded to a small polar group.
Explanation:
Phospholipid is a unique form of lipid. The bonding of the glycerol backbone to the polar phosphate group makes phospholipid to have dual solubility unlike general triglycerides.
The polar head is said to be hydrophillic that is <u>water loving,</u> while the two carbon chains that retained lipid features are hydrophobic <u>water hating.</u>
Therefore if a phopholipid is placed in water, in relation to its functions as component of cell membrane, it forms a bi-layer in which the water loving portion hydrophilic head points into the surrounding watery medium, while the hydrophobic layer points inwards far away from the watery medium into the internal cellular layer to form an impermeable barrier to hydrophilic (polar) substances.
This forms the basis of the phospholipd bilayer of the cell membrane. And it controls the permeability of the cell membrane to influx substances into the cells.
Answer:
Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are enclosed by a plasma membrane. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells include protozoa, fungi, plants and animals.

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. We will shortly come to see that this is significantly different in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid (Figure 1).

A closed system is a system that makes no physical or chemical exchanges with its environment. Of these systems provided as choices (tree, human, clock, car), only a clock does not make exchanges with the environment, except for energy.
Therefore, of that list, only a clock would be a closed system.
Hope that helped! =)
