Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types of membranes have a specialized structure that facilitates their gatekeeping function.
Answer:
The answer is D
Explanation:
Since the structure uses light energy, we can only assume that it's a chloroplast, since only chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and can absorb light energy.
Chloroplasts use carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, with oxygen as a byproduct.
The glucose produced is then used in metabolic reactions in the organism.
The digestive, circulatory,
respiratory and excretory systems interact in supplying matter and energy to
body cells and in removing waste. A minor malfunction in one of the systems
could lead to major malfunctions in others. It may eventually lead to cell
damage or death.
All the cells in the body need
oxygen( respiratory system) to maintain functioning--getting energy from food
(digestive system) ingested and removing the waste (excretory system). Also, the respiratory system and excretory
systems remove waste products such as carbon dioxide and urine and sweat. If it
fails, the body will lose homeostasis.
Methods developed to improve
efficiency and effectiveness of one system might help other systems preserve or improve functioning. If one system is
compromised it may be assisted with or replaced by developed methods preventing
it from accompanying damage to other systems.
The dehydration is a very common problem seen in elderly individuals. At an elderly age, all the body functions are diminished, which lead to reduction in thirst and body's ability to obtain water. That is why, the elderly people are very susceptible to dehydration.
In order to remain healthy, a person must take 2.5- 4 litres of water per day. In males, the water is required more than females. So, for males, the adequate intake (AI) of water should be in between 3-4 litres per day.
