(hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)

Explanation:

Barriers and gatekeepers are both functions of cell membranes. They're semi-permeable, which means some molecules can pass through but others can't. The concentration of particular chemicals inside the cell is controlled by specialised proteins in the cell membrane.

A cell's plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, offers protection. It also maintains a constant environment within the cell, and the membrane serves a variety of purposes. The first is to carry nutrients into the cell, and the second is to transport harmful chemicals out.

The role of a cell membrane is to serve as barriers & gatekeepers. Special proteins in the cell will regulate the concentration of specific molecules inside the cell.

What process is used to take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into nitrates?

andre [41]

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Certain soil bacteria, e.g., Azobacter spp can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called nitrogen fixation. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., Nitrobacter convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called nitrification.

Because nadh generated in the cytosol cannot enter the mitochondrion, electrons and protons from nadh are transferred in by ____

klio [65]

I think the correct term to fill in the blanks would be glycerol phosphate electron shuttle. This shuttle is responsible of transporting agents that are reducing into the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Since NADH cannot enter, it is reduced so that the electrons could go in to the transport chain.
