The corrrect option is B (Cell membrane).

Explanation:
Fluid Mosaic Model was proposed by Fluid Mosaic Singer and GL Nicolson in 1972, to describe the structure of cell membrane.

Statement:
"According to this model cell membrane is like a sea of lipids in which protein molecules are floating".

Explanation:
Fluid mosaic model show that cell membrane is composed of:

1. proteins:
Two types of proteins are present in cell membrane.

a. Intrinsic protein:
Also known as integral proteins. These proteins are nestled into phospholipid and embedded in the cell membrane.

b. Extrinsic protein:
These proteins are also known as peripheral proteins. These are present on the surface of cell membrane.

2. Phospholipid:
Each phospholipid is composed of head and two tails. The head is phosphate group which is hydrophilic while tail is composed of fatty acid which is hydrophobic.

3. Carbohydrate molecules:
It is the third major composition of plasma membrane. Two types of conjugating molecules are also present in plasma membrane.

Example:
Glycolipids and glycoproteins.

4. Cholesterol:
Cholesterol is a type of steroid which help in regulating molecule entering and exiting cell.

Answer from: Quest

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

If it takes 15 minutes to dry your hair with a 1.200 kw hair drier how much energy is used in drying

Photosynthesis uses co2 and cellular respiration produces co2. we call the point when the two processes are in balance--when there is no net production of co2--the compensation point. how might you limit one of the processes in order to achieve a compensation point?
