I’m not sure what it means for the cell membrane to be semi-permeable

Biology
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Answer:

It means that the cell membrane allows certain substances to pass through and not others. As the cell membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer with a hydrophobic core, only small uncharged hydrophobic molecules can pass through the cell membrane e.g. glucocorticoid and other larger charged particles require transporters or channel proteins to pass through the cell membrane, e.g. glucose.

Answer:

decreases a plant’s weight

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is a process of respiration in which oxygen is required and the byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water and energy.

Plants undergo aerobic respiration and it is a catabolic process in which complex compounds in plants turns into simpler compounds. This process reduces the dry weight of the plants.

Glycolysis is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration so it is not a typical aerobic respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is "decreases a plant’s weight".

TiliK225 [7]
Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.
