The answer is D - unlimited flow of water into or out of the cell. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable, meaning that it is tasked with controlling what substances cross it. It not only controls the transport and flow of water, but of other importance substances as well; this regulatory action is one of the principle functions of the membrane.

Plasma membrane is a part of the cell made of a lipid bilayer and an embedded protein layer. It protects the cell from the surroundings and also controls the materials leaving or entering the cell. The membrane is semipermeable and therefore allows certain materials to enter or leave the cell. In this case, the plasma membrane may prevent unlimited flow of water into or out of the cell.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

We will divide the total number of the teachers (246) in the auditorium with the maximum number of seats per row (18) to determine how many rows are completely filled;

246/ 18 = 13.6667

We are only interested in rows that are completely filled which is the whole number;

= 13

What is stem cell therapy?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Stem cell therapy is a non-invasive treatment that aims to replace damaged cells within the body. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy can be deployed systemically via IV or injected locally to target specific sites, depending on patient needs.

Explanation:

Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine designed to repair damaged cells within the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system. This phenomenon makes stem cell therapy a viable treatment option for a variety of medical conditions. Stem cell therapies have been used to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, neurological, orthopedic conditions and traumatic injuries with studies conducted on use for Crohn's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, COPD, Parkinson's, ALS, Stroke recovery and more.

(03.05 MC) In which of the following ways is DNA replication different from DNA transcription? (2 points) New cells can only be

Softa [21]

The correct option is D.
Transcription is the process by which the information in a DNA molecule is copied into an mRNA strand. Replication is the process by which two new strands of DNA are formed from a single parent DNA. Both the DNA and the RNA are composed of four different bases, three of the bases are the same while one is different for the DNA and RNA. It is only the RNA that has uracil while it is only the DNA that has thymine. Thus, Uracil is involved during the process of transcription since it is an mRNA strand that is formed while thymine is the one involved during the process of replication since it is a DNA molecule that is formed.
