Abiological membrane is selectively permeable in that it can, to some extent, control which substances pass through it. based ont he information provided in book 5, describe the general structure of a biological membrane making particular reference to the significance of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the major biological molecule component of membranes. explain how this membranes tructure results in the essential property of semi-permeability. your answer should include a brief, simple explanation of the term diffusion in the context of cell membranes.
could anyone give me an idea how to answer this question?
you!

Cell membranes are composed of what we call a "phospholipid bilayer" composed of phospholipids. Phospholipids have a hydrophillic (‘water loving’) head and a hydrophobic (‘water fearing’) tail. Water can get close to the hydrophillic head while it cannot pass through the hydrophobic tail, thus protecting the cell from foreign substances it does not need. Because of this dual property, the membrane can choose what substances may enter through it and this is what constitutes its semi-permeability.

One of the ways substances can enter through the membrane is through passive transport or diffusion, the movement of substances from higher concentration to lower concentration. This process does not require energy. Substances like oxygen and water easily diffuse through channel proteins when the concentration outside the cell is higher than the inside. 

humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. we take up more space on earth for our homes and cities. we pollute habitats. human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

water is a polar molecule. a chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions. bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. so, false

explanation:

in h2o molecule, two water molecules are bonded by a hydrogen bond but the bond between two h - o bonds within a water molecule are covalent. the greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
