Which of the following molecules may diffuse freely through a phospholipid bilayer? (select two answers) asparagine, an amino acid with a large, hydrophilic side chain alanine, an amino acid with a small, hydrophobic side-chain testosterone, a steroid hormone fructose, a monosaccharide molecular oxygen (o2)

testosterone, a steroid hormone

molecular oxygen (O₂)

Explanation:

Phospholipid Bi layer is permeable to some molecules and it will allow them to pass through it freely. Molecules which are soluble in water (polar molecules or hydrophillic molecules) are less permeable through phospholipid Bi layer . In given options Molecular Oxygen and Testosterone( steroid Hormone) are permeable through the layer because of its lipid solubility and size of the molecule .

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
