Answer:
<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>
Explanation:
Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.
In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.
Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.
<em>Correct option: B</em>
It seems that this question missed the choices which are as follows:

The correct answer that best describes the given characteristics above which are water storage, clean energy and flood prevention is option D. Positive impacts of dams on society.
Answer: lateral
The radius is a long bone in the forearm. In anatomic position, it lies
lateral to the ulna, which is smaller than the radius. Both radius and ulna
connect to the humerus bone of the upper arm at the elbow joint. The radius
pivots around the ulna to create movement at the proximal and distal
radio-ulnar joints. Moreover, radius articulates in elbow joint, proximal
radioulnar joint, wrist joint and distal radioulnar joint.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
To denature a protein is to alter its three dimensional structure. Loss of protein structure consistently correlates with loss of protein function, so it is a strong correlation.
Answer:
The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.
Explanation:
There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.
A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.
A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.
The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
