3. How can we use what we know about cell membranes to treat disease?

Biology

The cell membrane slows the movement of water into or out of the cell and this is vital when treating diseases.

<h3>What is a cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane provides protection for a cell and also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. It transports nutrients into the cell and transports toxic substances out of the cell.

The cell membrane is simply one of the major barriers that pathogens need to conquer e.g. a virus first needs to attach itself to the cell membrane and injects its genetic material into the host cell before replication.

Estrogens passively diffuse across the plasma membrane and then bind to their receptor proteins in the cytoplasm of the target cells.

When estrogen enters the nucleus, it binds to the estrogen receptor, causing it to pair up and form a dimer. Then this dimer then binds to several dozen specific sites in the DNA, strategically placed next to the genes that need to be activated.

What types of traits can show genetic variation within a species?​
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Types of variation in genetics

Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring)

other answer

There are three sources of genetic variation: mutation, gene flow, and sexual reproduction. A mutation is simply a change in the DNA. Mutations themselves are not very common and are usually harmful to a population. Because of this, mutations are usually selected against through evolutionary processes

Which factor in this swamp is abiotic?<br><br> A. Grass<br> B. Trees<br> C. Algae<br> D. Water
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

D. Water

Explanation:

Biotic factors are all living things, and they are derived from organisms. These include: fungi, plants, bacteria, archaea, protists, animals.

Abiotic factors are all nonliving things, and they are not derived from organisms. These include: air, soil, light, water, minerals.

In this case, grass, trees, and algae are all living things since they are derived from organisms.

On the other hand, water is not a living thing since it is not derived from organisms.

Let me know if this helps!
