Answer:

Explanation:

Membrane fusion is the process by which two different cells get united composing a unique membrane that englobes the content con the two original cells. The final new cell is known as heterokaryon. The cellular membrane has the capability to fuse to other membranes without losing their continuity. This is due to its fluidity, provided by the membrane dynamic and complex components.  

For membrane fusion to occur it is necessary that they recognize each other. Fusion proteins favor these processes promoting the cell recognition and the local distortion of the cell membrane. Their surfaces get together and form a lipidic structure between the adjacent membranes which continues to form a fusion pore. This pore will expand until the membranes are completely fused. Bilayer structure breaks locally allowing the outer layer to fuse by their hydrophilic heads, a process known as hemifusion. While this happens, the lipidic hydrophobic extremes of the outer layer of one of the membranes get inserted in the other membrane. After that, hydrophilic tails interact with each other and then the polar heads of the inner layer take place to fuse. Both the bilayers are now fused forming a continuous membrane.

How have increased carbon dioxide levels and temperatures affected living organisms?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:  Carbon dioxide increases temperatures, extending the growing season and increasing humidity. Both factors have led to some additional plant growth. However, warmer temperatures also stress plants. With a longer, warmer growing season, plants need more water to survive.

What type of communication coordinates actions between neighboring cells?
bija089 [108]

Answer: A. Chemical signal

Explanation:

Chemical signal is the type of communication which coordinates actions between neighboring cells .

This ability originated in single cells organisms and was essential for the evolution of multicellular organisms because after a cell receives a message, it is transferred across the plasma  membrane and  changes  are brought about within the cell in response to this message.

In your own words, explain why an earthworm cannot survive if it were cut in half. PLEASE HURRY​
Masja [62]
It cannot survive because an earth worm will not become 2 new worm. The head of the worm may survive and regenerate a tail. But if original tail of the worm may not survive because it will not be able to grow a new head or the rest of its vital organs and it will die. I hope this helps. :)
