why does water need help getting through the cell membrane? (use waters polarity in the answer please ☺️)

Nonpolar and small polar moleculescan pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusionthrough the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.

This arrangement means that only small, uncharged molecules can pass through the membrane. The membrane is called semipermeable, meaning that some things can pass through without assistance, while other things cannot. Water is a charged molecule, so it cannot get through the lipid part of the bilayer. In order to allow water to move in and out, cells have special proteins that act as a doorway. These proteins are called aquaporins (aqua = water, porin = pore).

hope this helps

What are scientist doing to Pork to make it a GMO?
Helga [31]

Answer:

They use a gene modification technique called CRIPSR-CAS9. The pigs have been given a gene that allows them to better regulate their own body temperature, whereby they burn fat, or at which animals consume their own fat.

Explanation:

British and Chinese scientists explained that they conducted the study by adding a mouse version of the UCP1 gene used for porcine embryos, which is used to regulate body temperature characteristic of most mammals, but not ordinary pigs.

It is problematic for pigs to maintain a stable body temperature, and this is especially complicated in pigs that are cold in the winter months because they have not been able to "store" fat.

Inserting the UCP2 gene could solve this problem.

Write a scientific explanation that explains how oxygen and carbon dioxide travel within the seed and the egg.
svet-max [94.6K]
The two membranes pull apart a little and create a small pocket or sack of air. As the developing bird grows, it breathes in oxygen from the air sack and exhales carbon dioxide. Several thousand microscopic pores all over the surface of the egg allow the CO2 to escape and fresh air to get in.

Answer:

Proteins are the major 'working molecules' within every organism. Among their many jobs, proteins catalyse reactions, transport oxygen and defend organisms from infection- like a doctor for organisms. The precise shape of each protein, and its genes, along with the amino acids it contains, determines what it does, some develop different traits and they may also copy traits of related organisms, which means some organisms may create more protein depending on their traits.
