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.

How many body systems are in eating a single bite of turkey? PLSS HELP its duo in abt 6 mins!!​
NISA [10]

Answer:

There are 4 systems involved in this activity. these systems are: the skeletal, muscular, circulatory and digestive systems.

Explanation:

To eat a single bite of turkey it is necessary that 4 systems come into play and work together for this activity to be possible.

First, it is necessary that the turkey is brought to your mouth through the movement of its members. In that sense, the resqueletico and muscular systems will act because it is through them that the movements of the members are created.

Then you will need to bite the turkey, chew it, moisten it with saliva, swallow it and digest it. This work will be done with the digestive system that will manage all of these activities.

Finally, your body will need to absorb the elements that make up the turkey pedal that you ate and that were rescued by digestion, these elements are nutrients, proteins and others. All will be absorbed through the work of the circulatory system, which through the blood will carry the elements throughout the body.
