Biology
1 answer:
dem82 [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Phospholipids are able to form cell membranes because the phosphate group head is hydrophilic (water-loving) while the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic (water-hating). They automatically arrange themselves in a certain pattern in water because of these properties, and form cell membranes.

Why do we compare the dermal tissue of plants to human skin? Explain your answer.
Over [174]

Answer:

They are like each other

Explanation:

Your skin covers your body, protecting it from abrasion, water loss, and infection and secreting conditioning substances. The epidermis of a plant serves similar functions. Usually a single layer of closely-packed cells, epidermal tissue covers leaves and young stems and roots of vascular plants. Most epidermal cells secrete waxy substances which form a cuticle, or waterproof covering, over the aerial surfaces of the plant, such as the stems and leaves. The cuticle also resists viral, bacterial, and fungal invasion.
