Viruses are not considered alive, because they lack certain aspects that would be considered a living organism.
Answer:
b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails
Explanation:
B is correct as the cell membrane is selectively semi-permeable. It is selectively semi-permeable because this quality allows it to control what can and can't enter the cell, and how it does so.
The cell membrane also has a phospholipid bi-layer comprised of a double layer of phospholipids which have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This is because the heads are made of phosphate and are polar and are therefore attracted to water (hydrophilic), while the tails are made of lipids (i.e. fats, oils) which do not mix with water and are therefore hydrophobic.
The properties of each phospholipid is also why they form the double layer structure, the hydrophilic heads naturally face outwards into the water and protect the hydrophobic tails on the inside.

Air that enters the pleural space during inspiration but is unable to exit during expiration creates a condition called Pneumothorax.
<h3>What is Pneumothorax?</h3>
An abnormal buildup of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall is known as a pneumothorax. Shortness of breath and quick, acute, one-sided chest discomfort are common symptoms . A tension pneumothorax happens when an area of injured tissue forms a one-way valve, increasing the amount of air in the gap between the chest wall and the lungs. As a result, there may be an oxygen deficiency that worsens with time and low blood pressure. Obstructive shock is a type of shock that results from this and can be lethal if left untreated. A pneumothorax can very infrequently affect both lungs. Although the term "collapsed lung" can also refer to atelectasis, it is frequently used to describe it.
