A diving regulator is a pressure regulator that reduces the pressure of gas in the tank and deliver it to the diver so that he/she can breathe easily. It must pass the controlled laboratory testing and must have a second adjustment knob to ensure ease of breathing. Modern regulators are precision made and designed to work under demanding conditions. 1st stage and 2nd stage, diaphragm and piston, exhaust valve and purge button are types of diving regulators.

Why is the ability of the cell membrane to be "picky" important?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

It is very important for the cell membrane to be semi-permeable because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.

An example of when this is important is in this scenario:

Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane wasn't semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. BECAUSE the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose not to give the salt any water, keeping them alive

Hope this helps
