Answer:

X in the diagram represents the cell membrane and performs the function of regulates the transport of materials.

Explanation:

The cell membrane, marked with X in the diagram, is a lipid bilayer with hydrophobic properties, which acts as a semi-permeable membrane to the passage of substances.

This membrane, that covers the cell and keeps it isolated from the extracellular space, has the function of controlling or regulating the passage of materials from the extracellular to the intracellular space, as well as the exit of substances from the interior of the cell. To fulfill this function it has several alternatives of transmembrane transport.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The cell membrane does not </em><em><u>control the energy released</u></em><em>. </em>
  • <em><u>Protein synthesis</u></em><em> occurs in the rugged endoplasmic reticulum. </em>
  • <em><u>Cellulose synthesis</u></em><em> occurs inside the cell, a process dependent on photosynthesis.</em>

What is the albedo effect?<br><br> Do you think the earth is warming up?
meriva

Answer: Astronomers define the reflectivity of an object in space using a term called albedo. This is the amount of electromagnetic radiation that reflects away, compared to the amount that gets absorbed.

Explanation: But to answer the "Earth warming up" question, I'd have to say that for over millions of years, Earth's climate has warmed up and cooled down many times. However, today the planet is warming much faster than it has over human history. Global air temperatures near Earth's surface have gone up about 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century. However, other evidence suggests that the period of 2,000 to 3,000 million years ago was generally colder and more glaciated than the last 500 million years.

So, yes I do believe that the Earth is warming up but not to explode.

"The application of evolutionary theory to the debate over modern human origins focuses on which process of evolution?"
sammy [17]

Answer:

The process of gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow refers to the transference of genetic variation from one population to another. High rates of gene flow are known to modify the allele frequencies and reduce genetic differences among groups. Gene flow limits the process of speciation by combining gene pools form different groups. In humans, for example, it has been shown that migration in the past decreased genetic variation among their populations, thereby leading to the homogenization of genotype frequencies among geographic groups. It is for that reason that in population genetics the concept of 'human races' is now often recognized as erroneous and inadequate.
