Why is it important that ions being transported across a cell membrane be shielded from the interior of the lipid bilayer?

Because the ions are charged, indicating high polarity, which lipids do not possess; they're hydrophobic, and therefore ions cannot pass through the lipid bilayer since lipids are highly unpolar, unless through an ion channel, which has a higher polarity

What are three primary techniques for minimizing exposure to radiation and radioactive materials?
One is to stay away from it. Proximity is important. Another is to keep the exposure time as short as possible. A third way is to use an effective shield. This is very important. The actual nature of the shield is also very important, and depends on the nature of the radiation involved. Alpha particles can be shielded with almost anything, as long as they are not ingested or inhaled - they can be stopped by a piece of paper. Beta particles and gamma particles require a bit more, but can be shielded by materials with high atomic numbers, such as lead. Neutrons are not well shielded by lead, but are well shielded by water.
What is the difference between beldan shielded and unshielded cable?
Shielded cable, when the shield is properly grounded, will minimize the amount of EM noise that reaches the shielded conductors.
