1 answer:

6 0

An obstruction between the interior of the cell and its external environment is the cell membrane. The tendency of a molecule to pass through a cell membrane relies on its charge, concentration, and size.

Certain of the polarized molecules are so small that it can pass through the cell membrane, for example, let us consider a polarized molecule like water, whose small size permits it to diffuse freely through the cell membrane.

Other molecules, like that of oxygen, which exhibits no polarity and is small enough to readily pass through the cell. The molecules of sugar that comprise five or more atoms of carbon, are too large to pass via the cell membrane and need to be mediated with the help of transmembrane proteins.

Roots that enable a plant to grow on another plant are called ________.

Luden [163]

Answer:

epiphytic roots

Explanation:

Epiphytic roots are those that live on other plants without parasitism. In this relationship, the epiphyte uses the other vegetable only as a support (phorophyte), removing no nutrients and, consequently, causing no harm to the species.

Epiphyte roots are estimated to represent about 10% of the total amount of vascular plants on the planet. This means that there are on average 29,000 plant species with this peculiar habit of life. These vegetables are mainly found in tropical rainforests and have almost no representatives in places with very low temperatures.

devlian [24]

Due to a reduction in blood volume due to blood donation, the stroke volume will decrease. However, to compensate for this, your heart rate will increase so as to maintain your cardiac output. Cardiac output is stroke volume multiplied with heart rate.
Maintaining normal cardiac output is critical so the whole body receives enough nutrients and oxygen.
