Concentration gradient across the membrane. Proteins in the membrane allow specific molecules through, passively.
Ave you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert, another a grassland, and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts, and why are there different types of life in each area? The answer is climate.
<span>Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth's surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (at least 30 years). This includes the region's general pattern of weather conditions, seasons and weather extremes like hurricanes, droughts, or rainy periods. Two of the most important factors determining an area's climate are air temperature and precipitation. </span>
B. Photosynthesis/Cellular respiration releases energy stored in food and produces carbon dioxide and water
Transpulmonary pressure, the difference between intrapulmonary and intrapleural pressures, prevents the lungs from collapsing
Answer:
Cell walls prevent cells from dying in hypertonic conditions.
Explanation:
The cell wall is a rigid structure, essential for the survival of fungi, and knowledge of its composition may be useful for the development of new antifungal drugs. This wall does not alter the characteristics of the fungus, it stimulates and presses the fungus to flourish.
The fungal cell walls are similar in function to the cell walls of many protists, bacteria and plants. They prevent cells from bursting in hypotonic environments, but are unable to prevent cells from dying in hypertonic conditions. These cell walls also provide the cell with a degree of physical environmental protection and differ in the molecular composition of plant cell walls, as the fungal cell walls are chitin, while the plant cell walls are formed by cellulose.
