How does the change in the temperature relate to the volume of gas in the balloon?
vladimir1956 [14]
As temperature increases, atoms begin to move faster and farther away from the point where they started. They begin to move more and in a larger area. Because of this, the volume of the gas in the balloon will increase as well. It will take up more space and will therefore increase in volume.

why would having both polar and nonpolar properties in a protective boundary be advantageous for the cell?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

The polar nature of the membrane’s surface can attract polar molecules, where they can later be transported through various mechanisms. Also, the non-polar  region of the membrane allows for the movement of small non-polar molecules across the membrane’s interior, while preventing the movement of polar molecules, thus maintaining the cell’s composition of solutes and other substances by limiting their movement.

Further explanation:

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties i.e. they are amphiphilic. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.

A lacrosse player has received a severe blow to the quadriceps by an opponent's knee. there is marked pain and swelling, and the
Vesnalui [34]
This patient has a soft tissue contusion involving the quadriceps muscle. In acute care setting, the patient should be advised rest, ice, compression, and elevation or RICE. Might as well, an x-ray should be done to rule out potential fractures and dislocations. Possibly, casting may be done. Medications like pain relievers may be given to soothe the pain. Upon follow-up, range of motion should be assessed and repeat x-ray may be done. Removal of casts may be done also. Continue RICE.

9966 [12]
<span>Her intestinal contents became hypertonic solution to her blood. Her blood became hypotonic solution to her intestinal contents. In hypertonic solution the total substance concentration of all dissolved solute is greater than the concentration in a cell. In hypotonic solution the substance concentration of all dissolved solute is less than that of a cell.</span>
