How does the plasma membrane regulate intra and extra cellular concentration?

Biology
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
6 0
Specialized proteins in the cell membrane regulate the concentration of specific molecules inside the cell. ... Transporters carry a molecule (such as glucose) from one side of the plasma membrane to the other. Receptors can bind an extracellular molecule (triangle), and this activates an intracellular process.

Which statement about Imipenem is accurate? a. active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci b. has a narrow spectrum of an
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.

List at least two pros and cons of using road salt in the winter
lesya [120]
PROS: It dissolves in water and lowers the freezing point of water so a lower temperature is required for ice to form. This makes the road less treacherous for vehicles. Road salt is usually cheap and readily available. Since salt is already a constituent of sea water, it does not cause pollution when washed away.
CONS: Salt dissolved in water is corrosive to metal. A metalled road surface may eventually be attacked by the corrosive, leading to damage of the surface. The salt solution is splashed on to the bodies and into the engine parts of vehicles and, unless properly protected, the metal parts of the vehicle will become corroded. Salt solution is a good conductor of electricity so it could under certain circumstances affect the electrical circuits within vehicles. When the salt solution dries out it leaves a deposit of white salt on the surface. The spreading of road salt is often carried out by specially equipped vehicles, so there is a cost incurred in salt spreading. Usually salt is mixed with grit.

What is the process by which cells get energy from glucose?
kupik [55]

The correct answer is - A. Photosynthesis.

Through the process of photosynthesis, the plants manage to use the sunlight, and combining it with the nutrients that they have got through their root system, they manage to produce glucose. Then they use the glucose by converting it to energy, which is crucial for their survival and proper growth, especially for their fruits, vegetables, seeds, spores.

This process is only able to occur with enough sunlight at disposal for the plant, and even if there's very small amount of nutrients gathered from the soil or water, the plants are still able to perform this process.
