The term mosaic is used in arts for an art piece that is composed of many small pieces of materials like stones or glasses. However, in biology it is used for a structure that is made up of different types of cells.

Now if we have to describe a biological mosaic structure , then there is no perfect option than the structure of a cell membrane of animals' cells. Cell membrane is not made up of two types of cell at all but it is a structure that is composed of a lipid bilayer in which proteins are floating as you can see in picture.

The structure was explained as mosaic by fluid mosaic model. If we take a deep look, the double layer of lipids are made up of phospho lipids, which contain two fatty acid tails and a lipid head. The heads are hydrophilic and are outside while tails are hydrophobic and they are inside. This structure has alot of importance as per the function of cell membrane because it maintains the cell's internal environment and separates it from outer environment. This is because

As cell is surrounded by an environment which contain water in excessive amount, therefore nature has made cell membrane in a way that hydrophobic tails do not face water and stay inside the double membrance while hydrophillic heads face the water region outside the cell as well as inside the cell (cytoplasm that contains alot of water content too).

Hope it helps!

50 POINTS How does biodiversity help ecosystems survive disease,predation,and invasion?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Biodiversity ensures that there is a wide range genetic variations in certain species and many different species in an ecosystem. If an epidemic breaks out in a ecosystem if one species has some organisms that are immune to that disease they will survive and pass on the gene that makes them immune. If one species completely dies out in that ecosystem another species may be able to take over its role in the ecosystem so the whole ecosystem does not die out. If a certain species has a characteristic that helps them blend in with their environment and protects them from their predators those members of the species will survive and pass on their genes to later members of their species. If a invasive species is introduced it would be helpful if their was an animal in that ecosystem that could help regulate the invasive species population however what is most likely to happen is that due to the high stability of the ecosystem due to a high biodiversity the ecosystem will have a better chance of surviving because their will be different sources of food in the environment so the invasive species and the native species wouldn't have to compete too much for food.

What is a pluripotent stem called?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The three primary germ layers (called the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) are the primary layers of cells in the embryo from which all tissues and organs develop. Human pluripotent stem cells are also known as human embryonic stem cells.
