Answer:

The special structures in the cell membrane that allow materials such as water and sugar to pass through made of proteins.

Explanation:

Proteins present on the cell membrane known as transmembrane protein. There are 3 main types of membrane proteins are found integral, peripheral and lipid-anchored proteins.

Some common functions of the membrane proteins includes:

1) They are working as ion channels, membrane receptor, G protein couple receptor and many types of transport proteins.

2) Membrane receptor which are present on the cell membrane can pass-on signal between internal and external environment of the cell.

3) Transporter is a type of membrane protein which helping in the movement of molecules across the membrane.

kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons consists of the dendrites, axon, cell body and different cell organelles.

The neurons have mitochondria that meets the high ATP requirement and and consume more oxygen. The network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes produce large number of proteins in neuron. The internal environment is never stable and gets changed as the nerve impulse transmission occur through the neuron. The membrane potential of the neuron gets changed and changes its internal environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
