Answer:

(d). a semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

The cells of all organisms are covered by a lipid bilayer, known as plasma membrane that separates interior of a cell from its outside environment. The plasma membrane is a semipermeable membrane that allows transport of certain molecules only.

The molecules that can easily pass through plasma membrane are non-polar molecules, such as urea and oxygen or small polar molecules, such as water due to its hydrophobic nature.

The larger substances, such as glucose or charged molecules, such as ions cannot pass directly through plasma membrane. They require transport proteins for their transport and this process is known as facilitated diffusion.

So, the given scenario represents semipermeable nature of plasma membrane. Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following measurements? Surface area = 588 m2 volume = 1372 m3

igomit [66]

Answer:

Ratio = 0.43/m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Surface area of sphere = 588m²

Volume of sphere = 1372m³

We are solving for the ratio of the surface area to volume. This ratio is very important in so many life processes in both plants and animals.

Ratio = $\frac{Surface area of sphere}{Volume of sphere}$

Ratio = $\frac{588m^{2} }{1372m^{3} }$

Ratio = 0.43/m

Natural selection story

svetlana [45]

Natural Selection Theory: The Natural Selection Theory is given by Charles Darwin. There are 3 principles of Natural Selection Theory

Variation, Heredity, Selection.

Explanation:

Natural Selection is the cause of evolution. The adaptation to the environment is the key to survival according to Charles Darwin.

The story behind Natural Selection is his visit to Galapagos Islands in 1835. Here he noticed the finches of different varieties in their beaks and food sources adapted to different environments i.e from different islands. This pushed him to think about those adaptations and eventually theory of natural selection.

IRINA_888 [86]

Flamingos are born white, but they turn pink because of the food they eat; this is an example of how environment, a physical factor, can affect phenotypes.

The phenotype is the visible physical or biochemical characteristic of an individual organism which is determined by both genetic factors (genotype) and environmental influences. There are many environmental factors and they include diet, climate, illness and stress. If environmental factors have a strong influence this means the phenotypic plasticity is high (capable to change).
