Answer:

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, a double layer of lipids that separates the cell interior from the outside environment. This double layer consists largely of specialized lipids called phospholipids.

A phospholipid is made up of a hydrophilic, water-loving, phosphate head, along with two hydrophobic, water-fearing, fatty acid tails. Phospholipids spontaneously arrange themselves in a double-layered structure with their hydrophobic tails pointing inward and their hydrophilic heads facing outward. This energetically favorable two-layer structure, called a phospholipid bilayer, is found in many biological membranes. [Close-up of a phospholipid]

As shown below, proteins are also an important component of the plasma membrane. Some of them pass all the way through the membrane, serving as channels or signal receptors, while others are just attached at the edge. Different types of lipids, such as cholesterol, may also be found in the cell membrane and affect its fluidity.

how does the respitory and cardiovascular systems work to bring oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide

MatroZZZ [7]

Gas exchange

The respitory and cardiovascular systems work to bring oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide by gas exchange. We inhale air through our lungs then it passes into our bloodstream to be used in respiration... and carbon dioxide is a waste product so it passes out of the blood and then is breathed out. Then the gases (Cabron dioxide and oxygen) pass in or out of the blo0dstream by diffusion.

What happens to the amount of energy as it moves up through an energy pyramid?

MissTica

Answer: some energy is lost from the pyramid, energy is transferred from bottom (producers) to top, but in decreasing amounts.

Explanation: total energy is conserved, but not necessarily within the energy pyramid, which is an open system where energy is lost from the pyramid, mainly as heat but also as sound.

Energy is transferred up the pyramid but the amount transferred at each stage is less because of losses outside the pyramid.

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed only transfer to forms. Why is a food chain an

belka [17]

Answer:

Food chain is an excellent example of the first law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that energy of the universe is constant. It is always found in the universe in some form or the other. It cannot be destroyed or totally used up and we cannot also create energy out of anything in this world. Energy transforms from one form to another form.

Food chain is considered to be an excellent example of 1st law of thermodynamics. Every living organisms in the world posses energy. And all living organisms consumed each other or eat each other for their survival and consumes these energy to survive. So the energy possessed in one organisms or animal is transferred to the other organism that is higher in the food chain when they eats the lower organisms or animal in the food chain.

Thus energy transfers form one form to another.
