Because of adrenaline

Answer:

Because responses to the fight or flight system occur through adrenaline, while adrenaline production is not stimulated in the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The escape or fight system is activated when we are in a situation of extreme danger or stress and our body wants to get away from that danger as soon as possible. To get you out of danger quickly, the escape or fight system stimulates the production of adrenaline which allows responses to this system to last for a considerable time in the body.

On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system is not intended to make you move quickly away from danger, or face you for protection. On the contrary, this system has the function of making you calm down and for this reason, the production of adrenaline is not stimulated here, so the activation of this system is made discreet and delicate.

Which of the following is TRUE of a cell membranes?
adoni [48]

Answer:

B, C, Dand E are all correct

Explanation:

Why B is correct- The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit.

Plants, animals, and bacteria have a cell membrane. Why d is correcect

Why C is correct- The cell membrane is not a solid structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules that create a flexible and porous container. Proteins and phospholipids make up most of the membrane structure.

Why E is correct- The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids arranged in a bilayer, with the hydrophobic tails on the interior of the membrane, and the hydrophilic heads pointing outwards

Why A Is Not correct- It is very fragile and its role is to hold the cell together and to help control what substances can get in and out. It is partially permeable, allowing only some substances to pass through it. The membrane has a complex structure consisting of a phospholipid bi-layer and different types of proteins.
