my guess is B. I am probably wrong
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic – meaning they are ‘water-hating’. This is why they are in the middle of the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane 'hiding' from the 'watery' environment of a cell. This poses a challenge in the diffusion of large and charged molecules across the membrane -such as sodium ions. Such molecules need transmembrane protein channels to help them cross the membrane. These are called integral proteins because they are part and parcel of the cell membrane. The cell membrane, in addition, also has glycolipids and glycoproteins on its surface that are significant in the identification of the cell by other cells.
Answer and explanation:
If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.
<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.
In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
Answer:
The correct answer is: D) The kidneys are paired organs that regulate water and electrolyte balance in terrestrial vertebrates.
Explanation:
The kidneys are the organs that control, for example, <u>the volume of body fluid compartments, acid-base balance, and electrolyte concentrations. </u>These organs are also key to <u>eliminate the toxins from the body. </u>
The kidneys are always two (when not is because of a pathology or the surgical removal of one of the two) and are present in vertebrates.
The kidneys <u>do not regulate blood glucose</u>. That is the job of the pancreas through two hormones called insulin and glucagon.
The kidneys <u>do not remove nitrogenous wastes</u> (urea) from the urine, instead they filtrate these wastes from the blood for these to be excreted through urine.
Answer:
Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but a eukaryotic cell is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell, has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane), and has other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions.
