The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. What is one of the functions of the embedded proteins? A. defining the cell's structure and shape
B. allowing specific substances to flow into the cell
C preventing the phospholipid talls from binding together
D. protecting the cell from physical harm

B. They allow for specific substance to travel throughout the cell.

Explanation: I know this because carrier proteins and channel proteins are some types of embedded proteins.

the energy generated by an individual's metabolism is calculated in met (metabolic equivalent of task). the met is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. one met is illustrated as 1 kcal per kilogram per hour, and is probably equal to the energy cost of sitting quietly.

1 met is equal to 1.162 watt per kg

1 kg is equal to 1000 grams

as the person weighs 80000 gm, that is, 80 kg.

therefore, 80*1.162 = 92.96

thus, the person expends 92.96 watts of power while at rest.

energy per photon is e = h*c / λ  

e = 6.63*10^-34 * 3*10^8 / 6*10^-7 j = 3.315*10^-19 j  

nr. of photons = 10j / 3.315*10 = ^-19 j per photon = 3.02*10^19 photons
