When blood supplies oxygen and food to a cell surface and these molecules diffuse across, we might expect some "resting time." H

owever, if we inspected most cell membranes in a living human body, we would find a nearly continuous flow of substances back-and-forth across the plasma membrane. Which of the following is not a reason why? a) Cell metabolism is constantly using up oxygen and raw materials; this lowers their concentration so more will diffuse into the cell. b) Cell metabolism is constantly producing waste molecules; this increases their concentration so more will diffuse out of the cell. c) Cells produce useful secretions; this increases their concentration and more will diffuse out of the cell. d) Cell metabolism constantly produces carbon dioxide in respiration; this increases its concentration so more will diffuse out of the cell. e) Cells are living entities and in order to live can never "rest".

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Blood is the main connective tissue of the body. Blood helps in the transport of oxygen, nutrients and the excretory product of the body. Blood also provides immunity as it contains white blood cells.

The resting time is expected during the diffusion process. But the substance continuous back and forth in the body. This is because cells are the main living entity of the organism. The cells are never at rest in order to live and their resting time is not possible.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

Part 1: Cats Falling Out of Windows
xenn [34]

The way that the number of injuries per cat relate to the number of stories a cat falls is that:

  • As we examine the data about cats dropping from a given number of stories, a tendency becomes obvious. The cat sustains more wounds from story one to story eight than in the previous stories combined. Despite the fact that there are fewer injuries in the last category.

<h3>Why do cats survive after jumping off of a tall building?</h3>

High-rise syndrome describes the wounds that cats can get when they fall from a steep height, like an inside second-floor landing or balcony, out a window, down a fire escape, or when they fail to jump from a landing to a higher architectural element, like a ledge or window.

Cats may live comfortably in apartments and high-rise buildings, but we must make sure they have enough stimulation and playtime.

Therefore, According to Jim Usherwood of the Royal Veterinary College's structure and motion lab, stated that cats have long, flexible legs. "They have respectable muscle mass. Since they can jump rather well, the same muscles focus their efforts on slowing down rather than shattering bones."
