The cell membrane is semi-permeable. (or selectively permeable). The unique structure of the cell membrane allows small substances (like oxygen or carbon dioxide) to easily pass through.

Explanation:

The principal components of the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. A phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group.

What does a S-shaped curve demonstrate for population growth?
11111nata11111 [884]

A design of growth in which (occurs only in a different situation), the population frequency of an organism rises gradually originally, in a good acceleration time, later progresses swiftly nearing an exponential growth pace just like the J-shaped curve, however, it later declines (meaning rejects) in a bad acceleration time till at zero growth rate the population maintains. For example, yeast is a tiny fungus, so tiny, a microscope is required to view it, furthermore, it is used to produce bread and alcoholic drinks, displays the traditional S-shaped curve if raised in a test tube. Its maturity levels off as the population deplete the nutrients that are essential for its growth.

Maru [420]

Answer:

Mass/mass percent concentration means the mass of the solute/mass of the solution times 100. You know both the mass of the solute (0.870 g protein) and the mass of the solution (10.279 g solution). So divide and multiply your result by 100.  (0.870 / 10.279 * 100)
