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>

situations in which one allele for a gene is not completely dominant over another allele for that gene are called....
stiks02 [169]
This is called incomplete dominance. When an something is heterozygous for an incomplete dominant gene, the resulting phenotype will be somewhere between the two. For example if a plant has a tall allele and a short one, but neither shows complete dominance over the other, the plant height will be somewhere in the middle.
