This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.

Of all the animals in the animal kingdom which one(s) would have the best chance for survival in mountains?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer & explanation:

Mountains are large formations of land at high altitudes, where conditions are often difficult. For example, cold weather and food shortages.

In the highest areas of the mountains, animals such as vultures, eagles, hawks and other birds of prey usually prevail.

In addition, it is common for the sides of the mountains to be covered with forests. In these areas it is possible to observe the predominance of animals such as moose, goats, sheep, skunks, llamas and lynx. This group has good climbing skills and manages to stay in the side of the mountains and in some high areas (not as high as the previous group).

Meanwhile, in the lower parts of the mountains, where the forest is denser, it is possible to observe the predominance of snakes, wolves, marmots, foxes, etc.

An internal membrane system where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials
MakcuM [25]
A. Lipid bilayer: the phospholipid bilayer is the membrane of a cell. The bilayer contains lipids, membrane proteins, cholesterol, receptors for various molecules, pumps to transport ions and solutes against the concentration gradient, and many other items necessary for a cell to function and work together with other cells.

b. Osmotic pressure: Osmosis is the flow of water across a semipermeable barrier from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. Osmotic pressure is the lowest possible pressure to prevent this water movement.

c. Endoplasmic Reticulum: the Rough ER synthesizes proteins for use outside the cell. The Smooth ER produces lipids and some steroidal hormones.

A. Lipid Bilayer is therefore the correct answer. Osmotic pressure does not involve the various components of the cell membrane, and the ER's produce proteins and hormones. Therefore A is right.

Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need a clarification.
