Diffusion is important to the cell because it is the process by which useful molecules enter the cell and waste products removed from the cell.
Without diffusion, cells and tissues of the body can not get important nutrients and gases for survival and would die.
An example is the eye. The eyes lack a great number of blood vessels (which carry oxygen that diffuses into cells) and must have an extra supply of oxygen. The atmosphere provides the extra needed oxygen which is taken up into the cells of the eye by diffusing through the cornea and thus the eye is kept functioning. If this does not happen , the eye would dry out.
Answer:
The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an ecosystem is a population explosion in the prey species. ... When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other. When the predators are removed, prey populations explode.
Answer: 1. Lipophobic
2.Thyroid
3.lipophilic
Explanation:
Chemical messengers can be classified by their chemical characteristics including their solubility in water and their chemical structure.
Depending on their solubility in water they can be classified in two groups:
- Hydrophobic (lipophilic) - Molecules are lipid soluble and can easily cross the plasma membrane.
- Hydrophilic (lipophobic) - Molecules that are water soluble and do not readily cross the plasma membrane.
Depending on the chemical structure
Amino Acids are lipophobic.
Amines are derived from amino acids and contain an amine group (-NH2, known as the amino group). An important group of these are the catecholamines which contain a 6 carbon ring (catechol) and are derived from tyrosine. These include dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. The thyroid hormone is derived from tyrosine. All except thyroid hormones are hydrophilic. The thyroid hormone is lipophilic (hidrophobic)
This representates the temperature of F degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius. Remember that in order to change temperature we need to use the following formula: <span>from Fahrenheit to Celsius: first subtract 32, then multiply by 100/180</span>
