Answer:

1.The cell membranes main trait is its selective permeability, which means that it allows more substances to cross it easily, but not others. small molecules that are nonpolar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.

2. The structure is called a lipid bilayer because it is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. the lipid bilayer is typically about five nanometers thick and surrounds all cells providing the cell membrane structure.

3. Osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

4. Active transport. during active transport substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. this process is active because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). it is the opposite of passive transport.

Which organism lacks tissue?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

By definition, tissues are absent from unicellular organisms. Even among the simplest multicellular species, such as sponges, tissues are lacking or are poorly differentiated. But multicellular animals and plants that are more advanced have specialized tissues that can organize and regulate an organism’s response to its environment.

A student designed an experiment to determine if air temperature had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis in corn plants. Whi
Gnom [1K]

The provided question was incomplete as it lacks the options. However, the correct option for this question is as follows:

an electronic balance to measure the volume of soil in which each corn plant is grown

a graduated cylinder to measure 30 mL of water for each plant daily

a metric ruler to determine the mass of each plant each week

a Celsius thermometer to determine the pH of the soil

Answer:

The correct answer is - a graduated cylinder to measure 30 mL of water for each plant daily

Explanation:

The basic knowledge requires to answer this question, as it is not asking about the photosynthesis or temperature of the air but the tool which is correctly matched, so let's get the answer from the options:

the first option is talking about the electric balance and measuring the volume of soil with it, as wee know electric balance measures mass or force on the pan downwards which is the mass of the substance. so it is an incorrect match.

Graduated cylinder to measure the 30 ml water which is correct as this tool measure volume of liquid or substance.

A metric scale measures distance or length of an object, not the mass thus, it is an incorrect match.

A thermometer measures the temperature, not the pH of a substance so it is also an incorrect match.
