Generally, any "thing" has many different qualities. If it shares roughly half these qualities with another "thing" they could be said to be very different and yet similar. <span>In the case of cells, plant cells and animal cells both have a nucleus, protoplasm, vacuoles. Plant cells have cell walls and a more rigid structure</span>
The mass of one atom of carbon in the correct number of significant figures is 1.99×10-²³. There are four significant figures each in both the atomic mass of carbon (12.01 g) and Avogadro's number, so the answer must also have 4 significant figures. The operation is shown below:
<span>12.01 / (6.022x10²³) = 1.994x10</span>₋²³<u />
Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
It is very important for the cell membrane to be <em>semi-permeable</em> because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.
An example of when this is important is in this scenario:
Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane <u>wasn't</u><u> </u> semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. <u>BECAU</u><u>SE</u> the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose <em>not</em> to give the salt any water, keeping them alive
Hope this helps
Plasmid or vector transformation is the process by which exogenous DNA is transferred into the host cell. Transformation usually implies uptake of DNA into bacterial, yeast or plant cells, while transfection is a term usually reserved for mammalian cells.
