The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer. Because it is made of lipids, they are non-polar molecules. That means that other non-polar molecules can easily pass through. In addition to other non-polar molecules, small, uncharged molecules like water, glycerol, ethanol can also pass through without the use of channel or carrier proteins. <span />
Answer: Option C) "excludes agricultural runoff"
Explanation:
The Clean Water Act (CWA) established in 1972 is a federal law made in United States to address the adverse effect of water pollution. The act was aimed to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.
A major shortcoming of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is agricultural runoff which is a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Large scale agriculture activities have an adverse impact on groundwater and surfacewater as they carry heavy fertilizer, pesticide and water inputs.
The federal CWA establish water quality standards and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to asses the pollution caused by agricultural water with the help of regulatory mechanisms.
Hence, the correct option C.
Cell membranes are mostly made up of lipids (fats)
Answer:

the disadvantage is destroying the animal environment and may cause climate change and killing an endangered species by destroying there houses or by accident
Explanation:
To swim, they move their tails up and down, rather than back and forth as fishes do. This is because whales evolved from walking land mammals whose backbones did not naturally bend side to side, but up and down. ... Whales do the same thing as they swim, showing their ancient terrestrial heritage.
Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya (million years ago). Cetaceans are thought to have evolved during the Eocene or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with hippopotamuses.
