Biology
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B, C, Dand E are all correct

Explanation:

Why B is correct- The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain molecules enter and exit.

Plants, animals, and bacteria have a cell membrane. Why d is correcect

Why C is correct- The cell membrane is not a solid structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules that create a flexible and porous container. Proteins and phospholipids make up most of the membrane structure.

Why E is correct- The plasma membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids arranged in a bilayer, with the hydrophobic tails on the interior of the membrane, and the hydrophilic heads pointing outwards

Why A Is Not correct- It is very fragile and its role is to hold the cell together and to help control what substances can get in and out. It is partially permeable, allowing only some substances to pass through it. The membrane has a complex structure consisting of a phospholipid bi-layer and different types of proteins.

How does the structure of the small intestine help it to perform its function?
Mumz [18]

The correct answer is:

D .Villi in the small intestine have thin-walled capillaries to make the absorption of nutrients more efficient.

Explanation:

The small intestines are well adjusted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that enlarge surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and raising and housing digestive enzymes and bile that aid the breakdown of food. The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat but thrown into circular folds, which not only enhance surface area but aid in preparing the ingesta by acting as baffles. Villi: the mucosa makes multitudes of ridges which project into the lumen and are satisfied with epithelial cells.

1. How do disturbances (or catastrophes) affect ecological succession? Be as specific as possible. Right answers only.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

There are two types of ecological succession:

Primary succession:

Primary succession occurs in areas which were previously devoid of life. There were no organisms living in this area before. For example, lands after new glaciers or volcano  eruptions. Firstly, microorganisms begin to habitat this land, followed by plants like lichens, shrubs etc. Finally, complex life evolved from these.

Secondary succession:

Secondary succession arises in areas where life existed before but was destroyed due to natural circumstances like flood, fire etc. Small grasses inhabit this land first which are taken over by trees over  period of time.

PLEASE HELP !Unlike sexual reproduction, vegetative reproduction 
pishuonlain [190]
B. requires flowers.

Sexual reproduction is one type of biological reproduction wherein the genitals of the male and female organisms engage into a sexual activity in order for the sperm cells to fertilize the egg cells of the females.
In the case of most plants, they engage in asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction happens outside the body system of a cell.
Moreover, this process is extrinsic than its opposite the sexual reproduction which happens in the female reproductive system.
