False in a sense because it is not random. It is just that some organisms have more advantageous characteristics than others. These genes are then passed on which makes the likelihood of the next generation surviving greater.
Answer:
Explanation:
In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers. A concentration gradient exists for these molecules, so they have the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell by moving down it.
Plants appear green due to the presence of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment present in the chloroplasts of the plants that absorbs blue and red regions of the light spectrum and reflects green. So, plants appear green because they reflect green light.
So, the correct answer is they reflect green light.
The phospholipid bilayer has two hydrophilic surfaces: the extracellular and the intracellular surfaces. These two layers sandwiches a major layer of lipids or fat. Because of this nature of the lipid bilayer, water-soluble or <em>hydrophilic</em> hormones cannot enter the cell membrane. They have to rely on the mechanisms of receptors.
One can find transmembrane proteins embedded across the whole length of the lipid bilayer. One of the functions of these proteins is to serve as the link for hormones such as the ones given above. When the water-soluble hormones attach to one of these receptors, the receptor will be activated and send down a signal to the intracellular environment; these signals will then travel down towards their target site and eventually activate whatever it is the hormone was made for. One example of these transmembrane proteins are <em>G-coupled proteins; </em>examples of signals that cascade down the cell are cylic AMP and cyclic GMP.
