Answer:
Means to increase drag and prevent sinking is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Plankton avoid sinking by increasing their surface area and decreasing their density. Spines slow down sinking by adding surface area without increasing density. Defense against predation would be to sing below. Not the opposite.
The deficiency of growth hormone during bone formation would cause a decreased proliferation of the epiphyseal plate cartilage. Growth hormone is a peptide hormone secreted by the pituitary gland under the control of the hypothalamus. It directly through IGF-I stimulates osteoblasts proliferation and activity, promoting bone formation. In addition it also stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activity, promoting bone resorption. Therefore, growth hormone is an important hormone in bone formation.
Answer:
<u><em>Proteins</em></u><em>:</em> used in facilitate transport across membrane
<u><em>Carbohydrates</em></u>: used to drive cellular respiration
<u><em>Lipid</em></u>: composes the cell membrane
<u><em>Nucleic acid</em></u>: used to create identical daughter cells in mitosis
Explanation:
A. In the cell membrane, transport proteins or channels are present which selectively allow the transfer of molecules. This is why the cell membrane is also known as a selectively permeable membrane.
B. In cellular respiration, which takes place in mitochondria, glucose (carbohydrate) is used to generate ATP molecules.
C. The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer that contains protein channels. This makes the membrane insoluble in water and maintains the integrity of the cell.
D. The nucleic acid is the hereditary material that can replicate and transfer genetic information to the next generation.
