Answer:

B. Geosphere and biosphere.

Explanation:

Earth as a planet can be subdivided into subsystems called "spheres". The spheres that make up the Earth are as follows; geosphere or lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere etc.

As related to this question:

- The GEOSPHERE refers to the solid part of the Earth, which involves rocks, minerals etc. of the Earth crust. It can be regarded to be the physical land.

- The BIOSPHERE refers to a collection of all the living organisms inhabiting the Earth. This includes plants, animals, microbes etc.

According to these question, surface mining for coal is an act that involves removing all the vegetation and rock above the coal being mined. This means that the physical land/rocks (geosphere) and vegetation of plants (biosphere) covering the coal beneath are affected. Hence, based on the explanation above, GEOSPHERE and BIOSPHERE are two of Earth's subsystems most immediately affected by surface mining.

What property of membranes allows interactions to take place within the membrane, including the assembly of membrane protein clu
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane or cytoplasmic membrane) is defined as a biological membrane that separates the interiors of a cell from its external environment.

The plasma membrane has a function that protects the cell from its external environment, mediates cellular transport, and transmits cellular signals.

It is composed of a lipids bilayer (phospholipids and cholesterol), (phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group) with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules which hence, regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells. Plasma membranes is very flexible in order to allow cells change form example, red blood cells change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries.

Differentiate between ;
Rasek [7]

Answer:

1) The main difference between Fats and Oils is that, fats are usually derived from animals, whereas oils are usually derived from plants.

Fats and oils are very important for every human body. It is mainly essential for daily dietary plan. Fats and oils are totally different from each other. In simple terms, fats are animal fats whereas oils are vegetable oils. The other difference is fats tend to be solids at room temperature; on the other hand, oils tend to be liquid at room temperature. Remember, on the daily basis the two terms can be used interchangeably because both, fats and oils contain 9 calories per grams.

2) Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, but they do vary slightly in form and function. While triglycerides have glycerol and three fatty acids, phospholipids have glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate. Phosphates are molecules with charges and have oxygen and phosphorus. ... Fat cells do not store phospholipids.

3) Thoracic cavity, also called chest cavity, the second largest hollow space of the body. It is enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column, and the sternum, or breastbone, and is separated from the abdominal cavity (the body’s largest hollow space) by a muscular and membranous partition, the diaphragm. It contains the lungs, the middle and lower airways—the tracheobronchial tree—the heart, the vessels transporting blood between the heart and the lungs, the great arteries bringing blood from the heart out into general circulation, and the major veins into which the blood is collected for transport back to the heart. The heart is covered by a fibrous membrane sac called the pericardium that blends with the trunks of the vessels running to and from the heart. The thoracic cavity also contains the esophagus, the channel through which food is passed from the throat to the stomach.

4) An organelle (think of it as a cell's internal organ) is a membrane bound structure found within a cell. Just like cells have membranes to hold everything in, these mini-organs are also bound in a double layer of phospholipids to insulate their little compartments within the larger cells.

5) Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function. An organ is a structure that is composed of at least two or more tissue types and performs a specific set of functions for the body. Many organs working together to accomplish a common purpose is called an organ system.

6) Absorption: The process of absorbing food in the form of nutrients into the blood stream of the body. Assimilation: The process of nutrients being absorbed by each cell of the body in the form of energy. Egestion: Secretion of waste, unwanted and excess substances from the body after food the as been digestion
