Cell membrane helps in the <u>recognition of certain chemicals. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

Plasma membrane is an outer boundary of the cell. <u>It is composed of phospholipids and proteins.</u> It is also called selectively permeable membrane because it allows only selective substances to cross. The <u>transportation of these molecules from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid is called cellular transport.</u> It can be active and passive transport. Active transport required energy for the movement of substances, whereas in passive transport the molecules move across the membrane without using energy.

<u>There are three common cellular substances that can pass through cell membrane are water, carbon di-oxide and oxygen.</u> These substances are transported through passive transport. The <u>carbon di-oxide and oxygen move through the area of higher concentration to lower concentration</u>. The oxygen diffuses into the cell through lipid bilayer because it is more concentrated outside the cell, whereas carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell because it is more concentrated inside the cell.

<u>Water moves through the membrane by the process called </u><u>osmosis</u>. It moves freely either through protein channels or by slipping between the lipid tails of the membrane. The water comes from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Image 1.1 -

Stomata are little moth-like structures in leaves, that, when open, allow the exchange of gases between the plant and the exterior.

Answer:

B.

Image 1.2 -

Without the existance of stomata, the process of transpiration wouldn't be possible if there weren't structures thata allowed the exchange of gases.

Answer:

A.

Image 2 -

So, we can elminate plants because they can photosynthesise; bacteria because they are prokaryotes and can photosynthesise; archaea because they are prokaryotes; hat leaves us with animals and fungi because these cannot photosynthesise and are both eukaryotes.

But, we cannot skip information. It is also said that the organism found has a cell wall, and animals do not have cell walls.

Answer:

C.

Image 4 -

Option 1 = cilia

Option 2 = flagella

Option 3 = pseudopods

Option 4 = pili (they're a meant to attacht to surfaces only bacteria)

Image 5 -

Runner stems are those that grow horizontally, therefore the fourth image with the long horizontal stems.

Rhizome stems are underground stems that can form roots or shoots through their nodes. Therefore, the third image with white background (the one with 2 drawn plants).

Tuber stems are large underground (mostly) structures used as storages for the plant. Therefore, this corresponds to the first image (the one with the white background.

Bulb stems are short and "bulby" stems, whith thick, leaves. Therefore, the second image (the one with the grass background).

Hope it helped,

Black_prince [1.1K]
The hormone that's causing Marisol to overeat is INSULIN.

Marisol is suffering from diabetes. In diabetes the insulin production is very little or non existing.  Since the insulin allows the glucose to enter the cells, and in diabetes this hormone practically doesn't exist, the glucose will accumulate in the blood, causing hyperglycemia, and she will be hungry because the cells don't have energy (glucose) entering.
