Answer:

D) Semi-permeable nature of the membrane

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable structure of the cell, due to its selective permeability. This feature allows the cell to exchange substances with the extracellular medium, such as glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, water and mineral salts, for example.

This exchange of substances is fundamental for cells, since it absorbs, produces, consumes and eliminates many different types of substances during their metabolism.

In other words, the semi-permeable nature of the cell membrane selects what should enter and leave cells, controlling the concentrations of substances in the intracellular and extracellular media.

What is the life cycle of a parasite in stages ?<br> Please help me thank you
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. Explanation: The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism, trophically transmitted parasitism, vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation.

Delicious77 [7]

The answer would be:

B. Sequence of the bases in DNA molecules.

Here is more about your questions:

DNA contain the instructions of the traits of an organism. Most of the organism have the same DNA but what makes each different is the sequence of the DNA. The sequence gives the instructions for the production of amino acid that will produce, which in turn determines what traits will be passed on or manifested by that individual.
