Acting as levers for movement is a function of: bones.

Movement can be defined as a process through which several skeletal muscles in the body systems act together as a group, in order to cause a change in the motion of a body part.

Basically, bodily movement are produced when skeletal muscles exerts a force on the tendons, which in turn pull on the bones (levers) and other supporting structures such as the skin.

In the body of living organisms, bones act as levers for movement by enhancing limb speed or power of limb movements while joints act as a fixed point of movement (fulcrum).

What do you think selectively permeable means?
enot [183]

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.
