Answer:

1. import and export of nutrients and wastes

2. cell signaling

3. cell recognition

4. cell growth and motility

Explanation:

Plasma membranes are selectively permeable which means it only allows selective molecules to cross through it. So the plasma membrane helps in the import and export of nutrients by simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion or through active transport.

There are membrane protein embedded in the plasma membrane which have different role. Some help in cell signaling like GPCR, some help in cell recognition and some act and transporter proteins.

The plasma membrane is also responsible for cell growth and motility because it allow the raw materials and signals to pass through it which is required by the cell to metabolize and grow. So 1,2,3,4 is the correct answer.

A molecule has 2 double bonds on the central atom and no lone pairs. Predict the molecule geometry. What do you think the bond a

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The Lewis structure of carbon dioxide shows that the carbon in CO2 must make 2 sigma bonds and it has no lone pairs.

The bond angle from O = C = O is 180° because the geometry is a linear geometry.

Biotechnology is used in a variety of areas from agriculture to pharmaceuticals to fuels.

Ilya [14]

The correct answer is (C) Genetically modified crops requires less pesticide.

The genetically modified crops are designed in such a way that it requires less amount of pesticide. These plants contain the gene resistant for pest. These plants are often called as Bt plants. Almost 40% of the maize crops used in United States are genetically modified crops. All these are pest resistant and require very small amount of pesticide to kill some of the pest.

Compare the role of mitochondria in slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers

xz_007 [3.2K]

The slow twitch muscle fibres have a higher count of mitochondria which means it can process quicker, it receives a energy, it receives a good blood supply since it has a high amount of capillaries, which means it has a good supply of oxygen, which helps to maintain the use of the aerobic energy system for longer, making type 1 fibres more effect for endurance, while the type 2 fast twitch have less mitochondria and rely more on glycolysis.
