molecules D) oxygen
Biology
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]4 years ago

Answer:

B) Na+

Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while  the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.

Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.

Athletes and physically active people have increased needs for
STALIN [3.7K]
They have increased need to carbohydrates, protein, water and iron.

Carbohydrates is the primary source for energy and active people apparently need more energy for their daily activities.

Protein helps build muscles, even though they only need a small amount more of protein than normal people, they still require protein for muscle buildings.

Water has to be needed as they may excrete more sweat by active activities in the day time. Water can also help remove waster material from body.

Iron helps the production of hemoglobin, which is in the red blood cells that help transport oxygen. As they exercise more, they need more oxygen supply for respiration, therefore there is a need for iron supply.

What is the function for common carotid arteries for frogs?​
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Carotid arteries also branch off the aortic arches and supply the head region. Veins bring blood to the left and right atria. Both atria then empty into the single ventricle. Blood from the ventricle thus enters either the pulmonary or body circulation.

Pollution and climate change can cause coral reefs to die. How would the medical field most likely be directly affected if coral
Marizza181 [45]
<h3>Answer: <u><em>Hope this helps</em></u></h3><h3><u><em /></u></h3>

Explanation:

<h2><u><em>Climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now clearly indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to greenhouse gases derived from human activities. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter ecosystem function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2>
