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>

Answer:

Explanation:

The scientific method is a set of phases that are able to guide researchers to the creation of scientific knowledge, through an experiment. This method is essential for conducting scientific research, allowing an experiment to be managed in a way that promotes answers to scientists' questions. The scientific method presents the phases called observation, questioning (or elaboration of the problem), elaboration of hypotheses, experimentation, analysis of the results and conclusion.

In the story shown in the question above, we can see the phases called observation and questioning. The observation takes place the moment Fleming noticed a fungus capable of growing on colonies of bacteria that cause throat infections, killing them. This observation made him enter the questioning phase, when he wondered if the fungus was able to prevent the growth of these bacteria.
