-Surface area to volume ratio. (surface area / volume)
-Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio.
-Fragility of cell membrane.
-Mechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
Answer:
B. The membrane lets certain substances move across it freely, while others must move through a “gate”.
Explanation:
Selective permeability is a property of cellular membranes that only allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell. This is important for the cell to maintain its internal order irrespective of the changes to the environment. For example, water, ions, glucose and carbon dioxide may need to be imported or exported from the cell depending on its metabolic activity. Similarly, signaling molecules may need to enter the cell and proteins may need to be released into the extracellular matrix. The presence of a selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to exercise control over the quantum, timing and rate of movement of these molecules.
Answer:
A. keeps you healthy
Explanation:
The immune system protects your body from outside "invaders," such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins.
Volume - the amount of something in a three-dimensional area.
Meniscus - the curve that a liquid makes at the surface from surface tension.
I measured the volume of water in the container.
The water formed a meniscus near the top of the container.
