Selective permeability, made possible in cells by the phospholipid bilayer that makes up the plasma membrane, is basically monitoring and regulating what can and can't enter the cell. It is carried out by a series of membrane proteins that act as channels to polar molecules, opening to allow them in and closing to prevent their entry. This is possible because the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid molecules repel polar molecules and so prevent their entry unless through a channel.
The right answer is False.
An enzyme is a protein with catalytic properties. They catalyze chemical reactions in cells or outside the cells.
An enzyme specifically activate and accelerate the rate of a reaction. The enzyme is not modified during the reaction (it doesn't get used up). The initial molecules are the substrates of the enzyme, and the molecules formed from these substrates are the products of the reaction.
Answer:
The Geographic barrier would have led to speciation in the finches which started from the founder effect where the finches were brought to other areas of the Galapagos. They were separated geographically so they could not mate with each other. Over time, evolution occurs through natural selection and genetic drift. This leads to the population being so different so they have reproductive barriers and can no longer interbreed. They become different species.

Hope this helps you understand better.
Answer:
During photosynthesis a plant absorbs light energy using the pigment chlorophyll. This allows it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This glucose is:
transported to the growing parts of the plant for use in respiration
transformed into cellulose, proteins and oils
turned into starch for storage
Therefore, to test if a plant has been photosynthesising, you can test the leaf to see if starch is present.
