<span>The plasma membrane is both a barrier and gateway between the cytoplasm and ECF. It is selectively permeable—it allows some things through, such as nutrients and wastes, but usually prevents other things, such as proteins and phosphates, from entering or leaving the cell.</span><span>The methods of moving substances through the membrane can be classified in two overlapping ways: as passive or active mechanisms and as carrier-mediated or not. Passive mechanisms require no energy (ATP) expenditure by the cell. In most cases, the random molecular motion of the particles themselves provides the necessary energy. Passive mechanisms include filtration, diffusion, and osmosis. Active mechanisms, however, consume ATP. These include active transport and vesicular transport. Carrier-mediated mechanisms use a membrane protein to transport substances from one side of the membrane to the other. We will first consider the mechanisms that are not carrier-mediated (filtration, simple diffusion, and osmosis) and then the carrier-mediated mechanisms (facilitated diffusion and active transport).</span>
Get twenty people, from various genders and ages, to be your testees. Create a random test that has both analytical and logical problems, and get the 'testees' (I have no idea if this is a word or not) to do the test before and after spending time outdoors.
An independent variable is how much time they spend outside, and the dependent is how well they function afterwards. (I think).
The constant is what stays the same, so most likely the tests in this case (if taking my example)
I don't really know what you mean by control, though...
This is what I would've done if it was my homework assignment, I'd suggest looking over my answers to see if they're accurate or not. Hope I helped, and good luck.
I knew this at one point but I forgot it
Yes some fishes have long tails that can be a threat which can cause fights.
