While water molecules are polar. They are also very small. One fact not mentioned on the video is that some water molecules are

Answer:

Simple Diffusion.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is known as the selectively permeable membrane as they allow the movements of some selected particles only. The movement are facilitated diffusion, active transport and passive transport.

Water molecules are polar in nature. They can pass through the plasma membrane from its region of the higher concentration towards its region of the lower concentration. They move directly through the simple diffusion and does not require any protein or energy molecule to pass through them.

Thus, the answer is simple diffusion.

During exercise, muscle cells release the protein ________ which can cause brite/beige adipocyte formation:
shepuryov [24]

Answer: Option "D".

Explanation: During exercise muscle cells release irisin protein is being released causing Beige adipocyte formation.

the secretion of Irisin leads to the improvement in muscle activity, bone mineral density, increasing the formation of brown like Beige adipocytes in the tissue.

Adipocytes are divided into two tissues namely white and brown. white tissues generally expand during excessive nutrition and brown adipocytes have mitochondria and burn the energy during exercises resulting into the break down of ATP  molecules increasing the body heat.  

Therefore, during exercise heat generated due to the formation of brown adipocyte tissue which are formed due to the release of irisin protein.

Explain any two specific adaptation that allow animal to survive in Mountain habitat<br><br>​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Among others, two adaptations might be

  1. Avoiding corporal heat loss
  2. Increasing oxygen absorption  

Explanation:

Up in the mountains, there is low oxygen, food is scarce, and adverse meteorological conditions. Animals and plants need to develop different strategies to survive. These adaptations involve not only physical and physiological changes but also behavioral changes. To mention a few adaptations, we can name:

  • Avoiding heat loss. Temperature tends to be very low at highs, so, to <u>avoid heat loss,</u> animals develop shorter legs, tails, and ears. By doing this they reduce the area or surface of heat loss and also avoid getting frozen. In mammals, the coat is also very important. A thick coat helps them maintain a constant body temperature and keep warm. Some amphibians might also develop a thicker skin as they can not regulate their temperature, and it also helps them not to dehydrate.
  • Camouflage: Coat is also helpful in camouflaging. Mammals´ hair color depends on their environment. Some animals, such as hares, can also change their fur color depending on the season. During snow seasons they turn white, and during the warmer season, they turn yellow or brown.
  • Size and metabolism: Small mammals lose heat very fast, so they need to keep active and feeding most of the time. They have an elevated metabolism to keep warm. On the contrary, big animals, such as bears, need to hibernate to reduce their metabolism and get to survive, otherwise, they would need many reserves to cover their energetic requirements.
  • Oxygen absorption: Some animals have adapted to the lack of oxygen by increasing their heart and lungs capacity as well as their capability to absorbing more oxygen from the blood.

How does facilitated transport (facilitated diffusion) help a cell maintain homeostasis?
7nadin3 [17]
Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Think of it like a little kid party with two bouncy houses. Let's say that both bouncy houses have the same number of kids, but then half of the people in one bouncy house decide to go get lunch. Then one bouncy house is really full and the other almost empty! So you move to the empty bouncy house so you have more space to jump. This is diffusion. So it helps homeostasis because (back to the bouncy house example) you helped even out the two bouncy houses. Now let's say the kids come back from lunch. Now that bouncy house is too crowded so you move back to the now-emptier one. This is diffusion and you would be helping maintain homeostasis, or an equal level, in both bouncy houses.
