Answer: Read explanation
Explanation: there’s actually no similarity at all. A cell membrane is made of phospholipids, globular proteins, glycolipids, glycoproteins, and cholesterol, and has passages that serve explicitly for passive and active transport of materials through it.
The skin is made of cells and dead keratin and serves as much as possible to prevent most substances from moving through it. It’s “designed” for toughness and distensibility, not for selective permeability.
All in all, the difference is that a cell membrane is explicitly and only for the passing and transport of materials through it, and the skin in the skin is made to be tough and durable, almost the opposite of a cell membrane.
Answer:
Between days 5 and 13 of a woman's menstrual cycle, an unfertilized egg in ovary prepares its development and maturation within the follicle, while the lining of the uterus -the endometrium- progressively enlarges.
Explanation:
Under normal conditions, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts 28 to 30 days, during which time both hormonal and physiological changes occur as part of the reproductive process.
Menstruation occurs as a result of the shedding of the endometrium, which had previously developed to facilitate the implantation of a possible pregnancy. This phase usually lasts five days and is characterized by genital bleeding.
From the fifth to the 13th day, a woman's reproductive system undergoes changes in preparation for possible fertilization and pregnancy:
- <em>The unfertilized egg</em><em> is found inside the ovarian follicle, maturing before its imminent release, under the influence of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The maturation of a few follicles occurs simultaneously, but only one will reach the necessary maturity to allow the release of the egg.
</em>
- <em>The lining of the uterus</em><em>, called the endometrium, receives signals from the hormone estradiol -produced by the mature ovarian follicle- and induces proliferation and thickening of the endometrium.</em>
Approximately on the 15th day of the menstrual cycle, the egg is released and it is the time when it can be fertilized by a sperm to produce the zygote, which will start a pregnancy in women.

Answer:
Please find the detailed explanation/description on how to use the light microscope to view a wet mount of a protist. The 9 structures mentioned in the question are in CAPS.
Explanation:
- Firstly, the slide containing the wet mount of the protist is prepared and placed at the centre of a lowered STAGE. The STAGE CLIPS over the sides of the slide are used to hold it in place.
- The revolving turret or nosepiece is turned so that the LOWEST POWER OBJECTIVE LENS is in position i.e. directly above the sample/slide. The SCANNING OBJECTIVE LENS, the lowest objective lens with power of 4x is used initially.
- The slide is viewed through the EYEPIECE, and the image is brought into focus using the STAGE KNOBS.
- The COARSE FOCUS KNOB is turned until the protist on the slide is brought into broad focus. The FINE FOCUS KNOB is then used to bring the image on the slide into sharp focus.
N.B: The OBJECTIVE LENS should not touch the cover slip on the slide during this process.
- When the protist on the slide is clear using lowest power objective lens, the revolver turret can be rotated to allow HIGHER POWER OBJECTIVE LENS.
- Due to higher magnification of the HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS, the protist might need to be refocused using the FOCUS KNOBS.
