Answer:
Embedded in the lipid bilayer are large proteins, many of which transport ions and water-soluble molecules across the membrane. Some proteins in the plasma membrane form open pores, called membrane channels, which allow the free diffusion of ions into and out of the cell.
Experiments in general are more reliable when a greater sample size is used. When using a small sample size, a mistake or fluke can greatly effect the outcome of the experiment. With a large sample size, there is more data to understand averages and deviations to the average data. The average will likely be more accurate with more data, which would make his sample size more reliable.
Scientists have concluded that the average human body contains approx. 37.2 trillion cells. However it depends upon your size compared an average human being. :)<span />
The answer is descent with modification.
Descent with modification practically means that a species have changed appearance wise over long periods of time to adapt to their environments better.
If your cells got filled up with water, the cells would expand and then explode. You would eventually die.
