Answer:

A Cation

Explanation:

When an element loses (or gives in) electrons in a chemical bond, the amount of protons overlaps the amount of electrons and it becomes an electrically positive system called a cation.

Cations may be monoatomic when formed by a single atom or polyatomic when formed by more than one atom.

In addition, the amount of electrons lost (or donated) indicates which type of cation is classified into monovalent (1+ charged), bivalent (2+ charged) or trivalent (3+ charged) cations.

Some examples of cations:

  • K⁺¹ (Potassium)
  • Zn⁺² (Zinc)
  • Al⁺³ (Aluminum)

3. Large molecules and wastes move<br> through the membrane through
madreJ [45]

Answer: Large molecules and wastes move through the membrane through forms of active transport- endocytosis and exocytosis.

Explanation:

Molecules are moved across the cell membrane via different mechanisms like diffusion, facilitated diffusion and passive transport; however, some very large molecules require specialized types of active transport to cross over- these are endocytosis and exocytosis.

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of <em>invagination;</em> piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle. Different methods of endocytosis such as <em>phagocytosis, pinocytosis </em>and receptor-mediated <em>endocytosis</em>, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Like endocytosis, the particles (signal proteins, neurotransmitters and waste material) are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, in exocytosis, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and merges with the plasma membrane’s interior in a process <em>opposite to </em>endocytosis; material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.

Relate the structure of water to its ability to act like a solvent
Sidana [21]
Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth.

I hope that’s help:)
