1 answer:

3 0

Cell membranes do not make nutrients (or energy) for the cells. This is the function of the mitochondria by the electron transport chain, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and beta oxidation. The cell membrane is responsible in holding the cytoplasmic components of the cells. The cell membrane is also involved in substance regulation by acting as a semi-permeable membrane for simple diffusion as well as the site where carrier proteins are embedded for facilitated diffusion (not ATP requiring) and active transport (ATP requiring). The cell membrane is also involved in cell to cell recognition because receptors are also embedded in the cell membrane.

Why is the interdependence of the worms and plants an example of commensalism?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The interdependence of the worms and plants is an example of commensalism in a sense that as the worms burrow into the soil, it allows the soil to be loosened which then allows it to properly absorb water and carbon dioxide into its roots. This action benefits the plants' growth. However, such action of the worms, neither benefit the worms nor does it cause any harm.

Explanation:

"Commensalism" is a relationship between two things wherein one benefits while the other is neutral. This means the other one doesn't benefit nor is it harmed.
