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.

<u>Answer:</u>

Heat moves from the land to the air through the process of "conduction".

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the two things come in contact with one another at different temperatures or basically when heat flows from the warmer to the colder region or phase until both reach at the same temperature is understood as "conduction". Conduction is a physical process which occur by collision of the microscopically colliding particles like molecules, atoms and electrons on the movement of heat through a substance.

While convection take place by the movement of heated objects and it isn't the process influencing air and water temperature difference. The examples of conduction are like a radiator, a heating pad, sand can conduct heat etc.

Which of the following is a characteristic of the tidal region of an ocean
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The defining characteristic of the intertidal zone is that it is submerged with water during high tide and exposed to the air during low tide. The zone can take many forms, from sandy beaches to rocky cliffs. It is common for the intertidal zone to change frequently, since it is constantly battered by crashing waves.
