3 0

Answer;

The similarity between gills and lungs is that both are sites for gaseous exchange in living organisms.


Explanation;

Gills is a site for gaseous exchange in fishes amphibians at some stage in life; while the lungs is a site of gaseous exchange in mammals and other organisms such as reptiles.

They both serve to bring in oxygen in the living things body and the eliminate carbon dioxide from the body; process of gaseous exchange.

However, they differ in a number of ways; for example, lungs are internal while gills are external , lungs are developed to breath in oxygen from the air, while gills are developed to get oxygen from water.

Which description accurately describes the cell membrane?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

Explanation:

B is correct as the cell membrane is selectively semi-permeable. It is selectively semi-permeable because this quality allows it to control what can and can't enter the cell, and how it does so.

The cell membrane also has a phospholipid bi-layer comprised of a double layer of phospholipids which have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This is because the heads are made of phosphate and are polar and are therefore attracted to water (hydrophilic), while the tails are made of lipids (i.e. fats, oils) which do not mix with water and are therefore hydrophobic.

The properties of each phospholipid is also why they form the double layer structure, the hydrophilic heads naturally face outwards into the water and protect the hydrophobic tails on the inside.

Hope this helped!

22) Phosphorus and sulfur are returned to the soil primarily by the actions of
Fudgin [204]
I believe the answer is decomposers. Does that make sense in the context of what you have learned in class? If you look up "the circle of phosphorous," you can see images that show that decomposers, like fungi and microbes break down dead animals and plants using some of their phosphorous, but what isn't used is returned to the soil. The same can be said for sulfur. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead plants and animals and return sulfur to the soil. 

I want to warn you that there is a slight possibility that I might be incorrect. I am still pretty sure I am right. The only thing that makes me question the correctness of my answer is another brainily question I saw when i was looking up this stuff. Two people had responded to that Middle schoolers question and had said the answer was producers. They didn't give any explanation for their answers. So, I am confused as to how they both got the same answer that was different from mine.  No material that I have seen regarding either the phosphorous cycle or sulfur cycle has shown plants as RETURNING the most sulfur and phosphorous into the soil. Usually, it has been depicted that producers, such as plants, UTILIZE the most phosphorous and Sulfur from the soil.
