Either everything would be able to get through, or nothing would. This would most likely result in the cell dying.

If there's no selective permeability, the cell would be able to allow all substances into the cell, in other words, the cell will be "permeable".

Normally, the biological membranes have a selective permeability, that is to say, they let themselves through some substances more easily than others, quickly pass through the membrane, because they dissolve in the lipid bilayer.

*Hydrophobic substances rapidly cross the membrane because they dissolve in the lipid bilayer.

*The small polar molecules (like H2O and CO2) thanks to their small size, these polar molecules also cross the double lipid layer.

*Large molecules and ions pass through the membrane through specific transport proteins, such as uniport, symport or antiport.

A male cardinal's red color is an example of a trait affected by natural selection. The females of the species choose mates
kompoz [17]

Answer:

In the cardinals, if the females start using a different criterion than the color of the feather when they choose couple, most likely to happen is that decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the selection pressure has been relieved.</em>
  • <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the cardinals try different ways to impress the females.</em>
  • <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.</em>
  • <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because the only reason for variation was selection pressure.</em>

In the context of natural selection, male cardinals court females using the coloring of their feathers as a form of sexual selection. This means that the shades of red in the feathers are a selection criterion in these birds, and the more visible shades represent an advantage.

But, if the selection criterion was not the color of the feathers, this trait would no longer represent an advantage in the competition between the males to be chosen as a mate. Instead, the trait that would determine sexual selection would be the one that experiences an increase in its variation<em>.</em>

A preganglionic sympathetic fiber traveling to the abdomen would synapse in which structures?
juin [17]

Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

The nerve fibres of the autonomic nervous system that connects the ganglia to the the central nervous system are called preganglionic fibres. They are divided into sympathetic preganglionic fibres and parasympathetic preganglionic fibres and both have acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter.

The sympathetic preganglionic is shorter compared to the parasympathetic preganglionic fibres. They originate from the hypothalamus and brainstem and project to the ganglia non the spinal cord. A ganglion is a cluster of nerves outside the central nervous system.

The preganglionic sympathetic fibres originating from T1-T2 innervate the cervical ganglion which innervates the muscles of the pupils (dilators).

The postganglionic fibres originating from the preganglionic fibres of T11-L3 passes through splenic, celiac and mesenteric ganglia to innervate the kidneys and renal vessels.
