Describe the structure of the cell membrane and explain what materials enter and leave the cell and how each transport method is
Nutka1998 [239]
THE STRUCTURE OF THE CELL MEMBRANE
the cell membrane is a thin layer of a partially permable membrane. That protects the cell's organelles and helps to maintain the shape of the cell.
WHAT MATERIALS ENTER OR LEAVE THE CELL MEMBRANE.
since the cell membrane is partially permable, that it only allows some materials to pass through it only nutrients that need to be metabolized or neede by the cell is allowed or permitted to go in the cell either by diffusion or osmosis.
HOW IE ONE METHOD DIFFRENT FROM THE OTHER?
since diffrent materials that go in the cell have different concentrations, sizes, and weights, the method by which they go into the cell will definately be diffrent materials with larger molecules use the osmosis method to go in the cell, while materials with smaller molecules use the diffusion method.

A scientist is comparing the outer structure of an onion cell, structure X, to the outer structure of a human skin cell, structu
hammer [34]

Answer:

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.  

Explanation:

The structure found on the outside of the onion cell is the cell wall, which is specific to plants. The structure found on the outside of the skin cell is the cell membrane, which is found on all cells.

Structure X is not living, and structure Y is living.  - this is false, both animal and plant cells are living.

Structure X can be found in some human cells, and structure Y can be found in some plant cells.  - this is false, the opposite is true.

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.  - this is true structure X is the plant cell wall, and structure Y is the cell membrane

Structure X is semipermeable, and structure Y is selectively permeable. Semi-permeable and selectively permeable are essentially the same thing - it means the barrier allows some substances to pass through but not others.

Which statement best describes how the structure of the alveoli allows the lungs to function properly
zlopas [31]

Out of the following given choices;

a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the lungs to the blood

b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand during inhalation

c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more oxygen to be inhaled

d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the efficient gas exchange

The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange. Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.
