Gorter and grendel's classic conclusion that the plasma membrane of the human erythrocyte consists of a lipid bilayer was based on the following observations: (i) the lipids that they extracted with acetone from 4.74×109 erythrocytes formed a monolayer 0.89 m2 in area when spread out on a water surface; (ii) the surface area of one erythrocyte was about 100 μm2, according to their measurements. show from these data how they came to the conclusion that the erythrocyte membrane is a bilayer.1) according to the given data, the number of erythrocytes should be 0.89×1012⋅100×10−4=8.9×109. this is almost twice the number of erythrocytes as gorter and grendel estimated it, leading to the conclusion that the surface of each cell was covered with three layers of lipid.2) according to the given data, the surface area of all erythrocytes is 4.74×109/100×108m2=0.47m2. this is almost a half of the surface area formed by a monolayer as gorter and grendel estimated it, leading to the conclusion that the surface of each cell was covered with two layers of lipid.3) according to the given data, each cell has a monolayer area of 0.89×1012/4.74×109=188μm2. this is almost twice the surface area of an erythrocyte as gorter and grendel estimated it, leading to the conclusion that the surface of each cell was covered with two layers of lipid.

For the strategies below, decide whether they are best described as demand-side solutions or supply-side solutions to meeting human needs for fresh water. remember that a demand-side solution reduces demand for fresh water, whereas a supply-side solution increases the supply of fresh water. (a) damming a river to create a reservoir (b) desalinating seawater (c) a nation invading a neighboring country to access their rivers (d) raising water prices for consumers and businesses (e) providing tax breaks for companies that use less water (f) replacing inefficient irrigation with more-efficient drip irrigation to grow crops (g) requiring low-flow showerheads in all new homes
