The very function, or job of CELL MEMBRANES is to protect the cell from it's surroundings, or in other words, to keep it safe. It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles, like a guard watching for suspicious activity and protecting something.

The cell membrane itself is a thin, flexible layer around the cells of all living things. It separates the inside of the cells from the outside of the cells.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Receptors are highly specific and only have high affinity for those ligands for whom they are specific.

Explanation:

Receptors are proteins that receive a stimulus or bind a ligand and mediate effects via receptor effector system.

Receptors are macromolecules that are highly specific.

The affinity between the ligand and the receptors is determind by the disassociation constant Kd.

The receptors produce maximun effect when an appropriate specific stimulus is present.

Different recptors types are present for different ligands.

For example, muscrinic receptors are specific for acetycholine and adrenergic receptors are specific for adrenaline/nor adrenaline.

It is important to know the specificity so that the body remains in a state of balance.

Structure moves up against epiglottis when food is swallowed to prevent passage of food into it.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The larynx moves up against epiglottis when food is swallowed to prevent passage of food into it.

Explanation:

The epiglottis is a moist, cartilaginous structure that is part of the cartilaginous skeleton of the larynx. It also marks the boundary between the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx. The epiglottis obstructs the passage of the bolus at the time of swallowing preventing it from going to the respiratory system.

Larynx closure occurs when the vestibular and vocal folds approach the midline during swallowing. Occasionally, when you eat very fast, solid foods or liquids can enter the larynx.

What two types of geologic processes formed the major features of the California landscape

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Geological processes are those process that occurs on the surface and subsurface regions of the earth crust. They facilitate in shaping the Earth, and helps in concentration of resources over a region. These processes occurred millions of years ago, the chances are their that they will occur in future as well. Some of the major features of the California landscape develop as a result of plate tectonics and other features develop due to the process of erosion under the influence of wind, water, ice and other features.
