Net movement of molecules across the nuclear membrane until the number of molecules on each side is nearly equal

Explanation:

The net spontaneous movement of the molecules of a solvent  through the selective membrane to an area of higher concentration of the solvent is the process of Osmosis.  

By this process in a solvent separates the 2 solutions of various concentrations. The pressure through which the movements were initiated is the ‘osmotic pressure’. The membrane should be permeable for molecule movements.

KengaRu [80]

The correct option is (A). Are found in Plasma membrane

Phospholipids are the major constituent of the plasma membrane.

<h3>What are phospholipids' primary purposes?</h3>
  • The primary component of the plasma membrane is phospholipids. They are made up of fatty acid chains joined to a glycerol or other similar backbone, just like fats.
  • The glycerol backbone's third carbon is bonded to a phosphate group, hence there are only two fatty acids connected as opposed to three.
  • An alcohol is added to the phosphate group to change it. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas can be found in phospholipids. While the phosphate is hydrophilic and interacts with water, the fatty acid chains are hydrophobic and keep themselves away from it.
  • A membrane with a bilayer of phospholipids surrounds each cell. The phosphate group can face either the outside environment or the inside of the cell, both of which are watery, as opposed to the fatty acids of phospholipids, which face within, away from water.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: (D)

Explanation: biotic factors depend among abiotic factors, meaning that living things need non-living things in order to survive. That also means that biotic factors everywhere including the surrounding area need to be thought of in this sense so that they are able to survive in the environment they are in.
