Can someone me with this ? > > analyze the structure in the diagram and explain how living systems use this structure. be sure to include the following points in your 1) a description of the important properties of the structure in the diagram. 2) an explanation of how the structure functions in the cell. 3) an explanation of how the structure regulate materials in living systems. 4) a prediction of how water will move from one side of the structure to the other side.

The structure is of lipid bilayer or phospholipid bilayer found in cell or plasma membrane.

Explanation:

a) The most important property of lipid bilayer is that it is highly impermeable and does not allow molecules except gases and water through it unless integral proteins or ion channel comes in the action.

b) There are receptors and ion channels on the cell membrane that allow only specific exchange of ions, gases, nutrients, metabolites between cellular and extracellular environment.

c) The phospholipid bilayer has specific integral and peripheral proteins, ion channels which regulate the materials in cells.

d) The bilayer of lipid is arranged such that it has hydrophilic heads of phosphate group and hydrophobic tail of fatty acid. The water is a small molecule diffuses through protein channels also the osmotic pressure difference leads to movement of water in the cell.
