Why do cells need to be able to transport things across their membranes

Biology
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Cell membranes are selectively permeable which means it allow certain molecules to move across it into and out of the cell. Cells need to be able to transport these substances to live and grow.

Transport of ions, water maintains the osmotic pressure of the cell. Transport of sugars like glucose is necessary to generate energy for the metabolic activities of the cell. Gases like CO2 are waste products of metabolic reaction which are removed by the cell through the cell membrane. Amino acids are required to make proteins.  

Transport across cell can occur through active and passive transport and transport of these substance are necessary for a cell to live and function properly.

What do scientists hope to accomplish using recombinant DNA?
Ber [7]

The correct answer is: Replacement of defective genes with normal genes

Recombinant DNA molecules are made in laboratory by the methods of genetic recombination such as molecular cloning. The aim of these methods is to bring together genetic material from different sources, creating “combinations” that usually couldn’t be found in the genome. The process of recombination is possible because, DNA molecules from all organisms share the same chemical structure (nucleotides are same among different species, difference is only in the nucleotide sequence).

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The integumentary system is similar to a cell membrane in that both structures create a protective barrier against the outside world. How is a nerve cell specialized? Neurons have specialize cell parts called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring electrical signals to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body.

N a pond, tadpoles eat algae and fish eat the tadpoles. around the pond, grasshoppers eat grass and, at night, are preyed upon b
Dima020 [189]
I believe that in this community the tadpoles are: the primary consumers. A n ecological community is the set of all populations of all species found in a given place. Primary consumers are mainly herbivores which feed on plants; which are the primary producers of all the energy in an ecosystem. In this case the tadpoles eat algae (primary producer) thus they are primary consumer.
