There are three factors that a substance must have in order to diffuse through a cell membrane.

1. A substance should have the right concentration in order to diffuse through membrane as we know that molecules can only diffuse through areas of high concentration to a lower concentration. Hence the substance should have higher concentration that the cell to diffuse through the membrane.

2. The substance should not be charged as the cell membranes do not allow charged particles to enter into the cell unless the cell has electrical potential.

3. The size of the particles matters as molecules of smaller size can easily diffuse through the cell membrane

Are gender traits completley a result of societal expectatcions ?

Romashka [77]

Typically gender expression is heavily influenced by societal norms, but there are some traits that have been proven to be influenced my genetic makeup of males vs females. For example, girls tend to be drawn to more artistic expression because of the cone/rod ratio of their eyes, where as males have better perception of depth and speed, so they gravitate towards faster sports and race cars. Obviously this only has partial influence. Individuals have always ventured outside gender roles and norms. Some men express are in touch with their femininity and express it despite the stigma, and some women have more ‘male inclined’ personality traits. Of course, large political, philosophical, and religious movements have more impact, such as the feminist movement in the late 1960s-70s pushing females to act less in the traditional frame.

What is the role of carbon sinks and sources in the exchange and storage of carbon between organisms and the environment?

igomit [66]

Answer:

The main natural carbon sinks are plants, the ocean and soil. Plants grab carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in photosynthesis; some of this carbon is transferred to soil as plants die and decompose. The oceans are a major carbon storage system for carbon dioxide.
