Question

4 Points

What feature of a cell prevents water from entering the cell?
O
A. Hydrogen ion pumps
O
B. Nonpolar lipid layers
O
C. Totipotent stem cells
O
D. ATP synthase layers

Answer 1

B. Non-polar lipid layers

Answer 2

B. Nonpolar lipid layers

Explanation: Non polar lipid bilayer is a component of a cell membrane. The lipids form a bilayer in which the non polar hydrophobic (water-fearing) tails of the lipids form the middle of the bilayer while the polar hydrophilic (water-loving) heads of the lipids point outward. The hydrophobic nature of the membrane prevents the entry of water in to the cell.
