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.

Compare and contrast genetic engineering to the process of natural selection select all statements that are are
alisha [4.7K]

Genetic engineering is due to the human selection of desired phenotypes, whereas natural selection is a slow process of differential survival and reproduction.

<h3>What does natural selection mean?</h3>

According to the evolution theory, natural selection is a slow process of differential survival of the fittest organisms in a given environment.

Conversely, genetic engineering refers to the molecular biology techniques used in the laboratory to produce organisms expressing desired phenotypes.

In conclusion, genetic engineering is based on human molecular biology techniques, whereas natural selection refers to differential survival and reproduction in nature.

Chloroplast structure and function
Lana71 [14]

Answers:

A) The membranes of the Chloroplast are the  

1) Thylakoid membrane 2) Envelope membrane

B) Calvin cycle occurs within the stroma, while light reactions occur within the thylakoid membrane.

Explanation:

Generally, the chloroplast is made up of the; <u>Thylakoid membrane and Envelop membrane</u>. The thylakoid membrane is basically the region for light absorption, thus making it the site for light reactions within the chloroplast.  

Calvin cycle, which occurs in the stroma, involves light independent reactions. It occurs shortly after the light-dependent reactions, and further breaks down ATP and NADPH, products of the light reactions.

The stroma is located outside the thylakoid membrane.

For the remaining listed organelles:

1) The Cytosol- It’s the liquid space within the cell. The chloroplast can be found floating within the cytosol of any involved plant cell.

2) Thylakoid space- The space within the thylakoid.
