Endocrine gland - a group of cells that secretes substances into the blood or directly into an organ.
Differ from exocrine glands, endocrine glands have no ducts and secrete products (hormones) directly into blood.
Hormone - a substance produced by cells that helps specific groups of cells to perform specific functions. It is a product of endocrine gland which functions as chemical messengers to stimulate other cells.
Duct – a channel or tube that conveys a substance. It is part of the exocrine glands (such as salivary glands) which makes contact with surface .
Energy coupling the affect of the sun providing evergy to cells. Coupling is the thing that has the energy to provide it
The eruption of Mount St. Helens provided a prospect for the scientists to examine the effects of the catastrophe. In the eruption, the losses were tragic, however, after the incident, the geologists hugely bettered their tendency to determine eruptions, by safely evacuating thousands of Filipino people prior to the eruption of Pinatubo in 1991.
Scientists also started to learn various other valuable lessons, even some of them have defied the fundamentals of evolutionary thinking. The eruption of 1980, offered a natural laboratory for comprehending that how quickly the catastrophic procedures can reshape the globe, and how briskly wildlife can recover.
A. Lipid bilayer: the phospholipid bilayer is the membrane of a cell. The bilayer contains lipids, membrane proteins, cholesterol, receptors for various molecules, pumps to transport ions and solutes against the concentration gradient, and many other items necessary for a cell to function and work together with other cells.
b. Osmotic pressure: Osmosis is the flow of water across a semipermeable barrier from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. Osmotic pressure is the lowest possible pressure to prevent this water movement.
c. Endoplasmic Reticulum: the Rough ER synthesizes proteins for use outside the cell. The Smooth ER produces lipids and some steroidal hormones.
A. Lipid Bilayer is therefore the correct answer. Osmotic pressure does not involve the various components of the cell membrane, and the ER's produce proteins and hormones. Therefore A is right.
Hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need a clarification.
