(a) Describe the biological need for cells to be surrounded by a membrane that is selectively permeable for different materials

Biology
1 answer:
seropon [69]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The selectively permeable membrane is important because it will allow only those materials and ions to pass which are required by a cell. The selectively permeable cell membrane is important to maintain the homeostatic conditions for a cell. It actively maintains the internal cell environment.

If cell membrane was not permeable then toxic molecules and ions as well as waste elements would enter the cell destroying the cell. An increase in the amount of ions in the cell might have caused the cell to burst.

Which of the following cell organelles are responsible for making proteins?
Tresset [83]
There are four main organelles:
Nucleus
Ribosome
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus

However, the ribosome is the most responsible for making protein, even though the other 3 are also important. It isn't a cell organelle but a cell structure that produces proteins.

How can the dark fur of one mouse spread to a whole population?
kirill [66]
Through reproduction. dark fur is a dominant trait and eventually if offspring of the one dark furred mouse reproduce enough, it will eventually spread to the whole population because it is a dominant gene and will overpower recessive genes of the other parent organism that the dominant mouse is reproducing with.
