The molecule must be small enough to pass through the membranous pores and it must not have water in it as the lipid tails of the cell membrane are hydrophobic

There are a few vital characteristics to mention here. First we have to know about which ions we're talking about as the cellular membrane is semi-permeable (lets some flow freely through the membrane and some not), it depends on the size of the compounds, and also the charge that a molecule has.

Explain why your weight in pounds is much lighter on the moon but your mass is the same? (Gravitational force on the moon is 1.6
schepotkina [342]

there's a mistake in the question, weight isn't measured in pounds its measured in newtons, mass is measured in pounds

im going to assume ur asking why our weight is different on the moon and earth, and why the mass remains the same

weight is how many newtons of gravity is acting on you. the gravitational field strength on earth and moon are very different. on earth its 9.8N and on the moon its 1.6N. Because the force of gravity is weaker on the moon, you weigh less.

write one to two paragraphs explaining how water is transferred within and between organisms and the environment.
ioda
Water also moves through the living organisms in an ecosystem. Plants soak up large amounts of water through their roots. The water then moves up the plant and evaporates from the leaves in a process called transpiration. The process of transpiration, like evaporation, returns water back into the atmosphere.
