Permeability is the condition of being capable of having materials flow into and out of a membrane. the permeability of a cell membrane is determined by how easily a molecule can diffuse across the membrane. usually, only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate across a cell membrane. why is this the case?
a. water-soluble molecules are nonpolar.
b. water-soluble molecules are too large.
c. cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer.
d. cell membranes are composed of cytosol.

C. Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

The cell membrane delimits the contents of the cell. A typical cell membrane is largely made up of phospholipids. Other components include the glycolipids, sterols, and proteins. The phospholipids component arrange themselves in a double layer (bilayer), forming a hydrophobic core.

Fat soluble molecules are able to permeate across the cell membrane due to the lipid bilayer components - lipid in itself being a form of fat.

The correct option is C.

lizards have adapted to life in the desert. some desert lizards have toes with spiny scales to them run across the sand without sinking. some use the sand to hide from predators, or to search for small animals that they prey upon.

the fossil record provides evidence of a common ancestor to many species.
