If the plasma membrane was permeable, but not selectively permeable, how would that affect the cell?

Biology

Lelechka [254]3 years ago

Answer:

It would most likely kill the cell.

Explanation:

If a cell's membrane is fully permeable (not semi-permeable) then substances that are harmful to the cell are more than likely to enter it at one point or another, which can pretty much end up killing it.

In short, the semi-permeable membrane is there to ensure that only the useful stuff gets in and that the bad stuff stays out.

bazaltina [42]

Answer: 1-TT, 2-Tt, 3-Tt, 4-tt

Explanation: It is pretty simple. you just have to match every letter together. Also, the genotype of this is 50% Tt (which is crossbred), 25% TT (which is tall), and 25% tt (which is short).

I hope this helped you out!

In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fr
juin [17]

Correct option(s):

(b) This muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) This muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.

A dominant allele is one that is capable of expressing itself even in the heterozygous condition and overshadows the effect of the recessive allele. It is usually denoted by a capital letter. Recessive allele on the contrary cannot express in presence of a dominant allele and is denoted by a small letter.

In the given case the fruit with a sour taste (phenotype) can have two possible genotypes (FF and Ff). The genotype of sweet taste is ff which is a homozygous condition.  

Note: Your question is incomplete, probably your complete question is “In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele F is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. Choose the correct option:

(a)  this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.

(b) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.”

How is the oxygen cycle disturbed by deforestation
eimsori [14]

Answer:

If deforestation is disturbed then the photosynthesis cycle is disturbed, which results in the oxygen cycle being affected. With a decrease in trees, a decrease in photosynthesis occurs, which cause a decline in the oxygen cycle. A decline in the oxygen cycle results in more polluted air.

Explanation:

Without trees, humans would not be able survive because the air would be unsuitable for breathing. Due to deforestation, there would be fewer trees to "clean" the air. Deforestation is the action or process of clearing of forests, or the state of having been cleared of forests.

Trees and plants, in general, produce energy for growth using a process known as photosynthesis. Using light, water and carbon dioxide, a plant produces energy in the form of sugar and releases oxygen into the air.

Deforestation, as well as a rise in the emissions and our global temperature, affects the air that we breathe. This is because all trees take in carbon dioxide and other pollutants which are known to cause a lot of problems in the atmosphere and to humans. This inevitably results in people breathing dirtier and more polluted air that normally wouldn't happen.  

Long-term exposure to polluted air can have permanent health effects such as: Accelerated aging of the lungs. Loss of lung capacity and decreased lung function. Development of diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and possibly cancer.

Trees are responsible for taking the carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis in order to make energy. This carbon is then either transferred into oxygen and released into the air by respiration or is stored inside the trees until they decompose into the soil. Therefore, the absence of trees would result in significantly higher amounts of carbon dioxide in the air and lower amounts of oxygen. This bad quality air would also be full of airborne particles and pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.

In addition to the decrease of oxygen in the atmosphere, it would allow excessive amounts of carbon dioxide to remain. In the short term, since CO2 is one of the major greenhouse gases, it will undoubtedly lead to higher global temperatures which, in turn, would quicken the melting of the polar ice caps.
