Biological cell membranes are selectively permeable, which means that the ease and rate of small molecules passing through membranes vary widely. The plasma membrane regulates exchange of nutrients, oxygen, inorganic ions, waste products, and water. The cellular membrane’s molecular organization controls permeability.
Answer:
1. Biological species concept
2. Gene pool
Explanation:
Biological species concept defines the species as a group of individuals that can interbreed to produce fertile progeny. The individuals from two different species cannot interbreed and produce viable and fertile progeny. This means that two species are reproductively isolated from each other.
The total number of genes and alleles present in the individuals of a species makes its gene pool. Each species has its unique gene pool.
Answer: the creation of oxygen
Explanation:
took the K12 Quiz (Note: not to sure its right if it aint so so sorry!)
I'm going to guess that it's the second option, "New matter only enters the biosphere in the form of precipitation" because it bothers me that the writer said "new matter" and everything else seemed right to me.
The last two are definitely true. I'm a bit iffy about the first option because I know that autotrophs take the energy from the sun, then primary consumers eat them and then everything eats one another afterwards. So everything moves from the bottom of the food pyramid up. There are decomposers which take dead matter from any trophic level and bring it up, which, I guess, is still in the same direction on the food pyramid.
New matter can probably enter the biosphere in other ways like a meteor hitting the earth or something. The water from precipitation never left the biosphere, so that's where it's wrong.
I hope this helps.
