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>

Why does putting your name on a health behavior contract indicate your commitment to the contract?
dimulka [17.4K]
Because it is written. A popular tool used for motivation and commitment is the use of written contracts and often does not even need to be as lengthy as a contract. A slip of paper or even another writing surface has been shown to significantly increase the likelihood of committing to that action. 

There is also premeditation involved when signing a contract or writing on a piece of paper. An individual has read and recognized the written words and then signed it according to a commitment to that act. As such there is a significant amount of thought put into the over procedure, and thus increases again the likelihood of an individual to be committed to completing those actions.

Aside from all the factors of motivation, the signing demonstrates commitment to the contract because that is fairly universally understood to be the way in which people recognize and formally commit to contracts. Whatever the context of the action, whether signing papers to buy a house or for a new job, the signing of the contract is the commitment of the individuals involved to complete the requirements within the contract. Although in this instance the healthier behavior most directly affects the individual who signs the paper.

Evolution creates not the best solution but the most available. Building on your answer to the previous question what does this
Greeley [361]

This statement means that evolution has happened by getting the genes of the  right trait expressed at the right time to help adaptability.

Explanation:

Evolution is a result of natural selection which emphasize on the survival of the fittest. But the occurrence of this trait has been possible with genetic variation. It means that if the genes for the particular feature is not present in the genome how would it occur and adapt to the environment. Thus, evolution promotes the most available option for the adaptation and hence for natural selection.

We can conclude that all features are not adaptable some are the results of genetic drift or mutations.

In case of cheetah,  the faster running genes would have been there they got expressed over the period of time for better adaptability.
