Answer:

B. The membrane lets certain substances move across it freely, while others must move through a “gate”.

Explanation:

Selective permeability is a property of cellular membranes that only allows certain molecules to enter or exit the cell. This is important for the cell to maintain its internal order irrespective of the changes to the environment. For example, water, ions, glucose and carbon dioxide may need to be imported or exported from the cell depending on its metabolic activity. Similarly, signaling molecules may need to enter the cell and proteins may need to be released into the extracellular matrix. The presence of a selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to exercise control over the quantum, timing and rate of movement of these molecules.

Blood flow
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

D. Tricuspid → right ventricle → pulmonary valve → pulmonary circulation

Explanation:

The circulatory system is the system of organs and blood vessels which is associated with the circulation of the blood in the body.

The circulatory system is divided into two portions: the systemic circulatory system (body) and the pulmonary circulatory system (lungs).

The vena cava brings the oxygen-poor blood from the body to the right atrium from where the blood is transferred to the same side of the ventricle controlled by the tricuspid valve (atrioventricular valve).

From the right ventricle, the blood is pumped to the pulmonary artery which transports the blood to the lungs where the oxygen will be exchanged.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
