Biology

Ber [7]3 years ago

The purpose of the cell membrane is to hold the different components of the cell together and to protect it from the environment outside the cell. The cell membrane also regulates what enters and exits the cell so that it doesn’t lose too many nutrients, or take in too many ions. It also does a pretty good job of keeping harmful things out.Ions and large polar molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer. But more specifically, whether a molecule can pass through the membrane depends on its size and its electrical nature. The membrane is highly permeable to non-polar (fat-soluble) molecule.

State two precautions people should take when a hurricane warning is issued?
Rainbow [258]
There are several precautions that should be taken during catastrophic weather. In the case of a hurricane warning two precautions you should take immediately are:
1. Fortifying your house: In doing this you give your home the utmost care and protection needed to give it the best chance to minimize damage.
2. Evacuate: This is more or less common sense. whenever there is a massive storm most evacuations are mandatory. Regardless whenever a storm is likely to hit your area it is best to pack up pets and all essentials and head for the safest area as quickly as possible. waiting till the last minute could get you stuck in traffic causing you to be caught in your car during the store which is more dangerous than remaining in your own house.
