5 0
One of the observable changes of a chemical change is the change in color. So, yes, leaves changing color is a chemical changes. This is brought about by biochemical reactions of the plant. The plant is composed of different pigments like chlorophyll, carotenoids and anthocyanins. The dominant one is chlorophyll which gives leaves its green characteristic cholor. The chlorophyll is abundant in plants because it is responsible for the process of photosynthesis. But when the season changes to longer nights and less sunlight, the chlorophyll cannot be used. So, it spends it reserves through other pigments. Hence, it changes color. A yellow leaf has dominant caretonoid pigment.

3. Large molecules and wastes move<br> through the membrane through
madreJ [45]

Answer: Large molecules and wastes move through the membrane through forms of active transport- endocytosis and exocytosis.

Explanation:

Molecules are moved across the cell membrane via different mechanisms like diffusion, facilitated diffusion and passive transport; however, some very large molecules require specialized types of active transport to cross over- these are endocytosis and exocytosis.

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of <em>invagination;</em> piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle. Different methods of endocytosis such as <em>phagocytosis, pinocytosis </em>and receptor-mediated <em>endocytosis</em>, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Like endocytosis, the particles (signal proteins, neurotransmitters and waste material) are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, in exocytosis, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and merges with the plasma membrane’s interior in a process <em>opposite to </em>endocytosis; material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.

shutvik [7]
Hi there!

#1 Washing you’re hands after touching anything that may be dirty, or even just using the restroom.

#2 Disinfecting door nobs, handles, desks and things you may touch on a daily basis.

#3 Stay away from those you may think are sick.

#4 Having those around you remember to cover their mouths and noses while sneezing.

Remember to do this using the pit of you’re elbows NOT you’re hands. This can spread germs more easily.

Hope this helps you!
