Why is it important for each cell to be surrounded by a cell membrane that prevents large molecules from leaving the cell?

Hi there.

The cell membrane keeps organelles and ribosomes from exiting the cell. When molecules enter the cell, the membrane also prevents it from leaving as the molecule is needed to carry out processes.

A decrease in the resting membrane potential is __________ whereas, __________ is an increase in the membrane potential.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.

A certain species of salamander was split into two populations by a wide, dry valley, and the populations began to diverge from
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

This outcome in a hybrid zone is known as <u><em>fusion</em></u>.

Explanation:

In the field of biology, hybrid zone can be described as the area where closely-related species can interbreed and produce hybrid organisms. Reinforcement can be described as the phenomenon by which a hybrid zone develops between full species barriers. Hybrid speciation can be described as the phenomenon by which a new species forms as the direct result of mating between members of two existing species.
