Answer:
Our bodies have the ability to detect how things smell, taste, appear, and feel. What organs does your body employ to gather the data mentioned in the previous question? Our eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and skin are all used by our bodies.
Answer:
Cellular membranes or plasma membranes has many functions. Some of these include regulation of cellular transport, and responding to cellular signals or hormones.
<h2>Cellular Transport</h2>
The plasma membrane is made up of the <u>phospholipid bilayer with embedded transmembrane proteins</u>. This makes the cell membrane <u>semi-permeable</u>. Movements of substances depend on the composition of the molecules e.g. glucose and amino acids, as needed by the pancreatic cells. These are larger and uncharged molecules and can't pass freely through the membrane so they utilize the transmembrane proteins via attaching to carrier proteins. This is called <em>passive transport</em>. On the other hand, in <em>active transport</em>, <u>ATP is used</u> to transfer molecules, like Hydrogen, from a low to high electrochemical gradient.
Other kinds of cellular transport are:
- Osmosis and diffusion
- Endocytosis
- Exocytosis
<h2>Cellular Signalling</h2>
The cell membrane is able to signal other neighboring cells by utilizing complex proteins. These proteins may take form as receptors or markers.
<h3>Membrane Receptors</h3>
They act as receivers of extracellular signals and spark intracellular processes. These receive signals from hormones, growth factors, etc.
<h3>
Membrane Markers </h3>
These allow the cells to identify each other and respond if this cell is needs further development as in organ development, or a foreign body to the system.
Answer:
To produce energy in form of ATP
Explanation:
The thylakoid membrane harbors photosystems that will receive light photons, ejecting electrons from a main chlorophyl molecule in a reaction center, to other acceptors. These electrons will reach the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, and subsequently, to produce ATP. Later on these electrons will reach the other photosystem, to produce reducing power. This is in plants.
Cyclic photosystems also exist, in some bacteria, for example, and only produce energy as ATP. They also have an electron transport chain.
