The answer is true! Hope this helped! :)
It is true that r-related species have a short life span and an early reproduction cycle. R-related species also known as r-strategist have a short and simple life span. Due to their simple life span, their nutrient exchange rate with the environment is rapid. Unlike K-selected species, they have the ability to reproduce at a young age. They reproduce a large number of off-springs, but many of their off-springs tend to die before attainment of their reproductive age.
I don’t see the “following” that ur talking abt but it is diffusion
Answer:
1. import and export of nutrients and wastes
2. cell signaling
3. cell recognition
4. cell growth and motility
Explanation:
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable which means it only allows selective molecules to cross through it. So the plasma membrane helps in the import and export of nutrients by simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion or through active transport.
There are membrane protein embedded in the plasma membrane which have different role. Some help in cell signaling like GPCR, some help in cell recognition and some act and transporter proteins.
The plasma membrane is also responsible for cell growth and motility because it allow the raw materials and signals to pass through it which is required by the cell to metabolize and grow. So 1,2,3,4 is the correct answer.
I believe its D. It becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients.
