Explain why cell contents and their environment are likely to freeze under extremely cold temperatures

Biology
1 answer:
Mrrafil [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A fall in temperature can also adversely affect cell and cell membranes. At low temperatures, the phospholipids' fatty acid tails are moving less and stiffer. This reduces the membrane's overall fluidity as well as reduces its permeability and perhaps limits the entry into the cells of vital chemicals like oxygen and glucose. Also, low temperatures can impede cell development by preventing cell size expansion.

In severe cases, such long term exposure to sub-freezing temperatures, fluid in the cell can start solidifying and can form crystals that breach the membrane and destroy the cell.

Is it true that the Earth’s climate systems are driven by the electromagnetic radition from the sun, as well as its reflection,
nordsb [41]

Totally. Earth's climate systems are driven by the electromagnetic radiation that comes from the Sun. The incoming radiation that comes from the Sun is reflected by the clouds, passes through Earth's surface, or is even absorbed by the planet's atmosphere. The atmosphere warms thanks to the chemical reactions of larger aerosol particles in the atmosphere absorbing this radiation.
