How does the movement of materials across the cell membrane relate to an<br> organism’s survival?
ioda

I believe it relates because as we know the cell membrane is permeable meaning that allows oxygen, carbohydrates, food to enter the cell but it doesn't allow the entrance of large molecules that harm the cells.

After all the movement around it, matters because for example without food the mitochondria won't be able to create the energy and then with that energy, the nucleus to use it to complete the main the activities of the cell.

Hopefully this what you meant when you asked the question. Have a nice day/evening

What is the purpose of meiosis? How does the cell do the following: reduce the chromosome number in half and create genetically
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

2 cells meet and the number of chromosomes becomes equivalent to the somatic cell.

Explanation:

In meiosis crossing over occurs and the number of chromosomes divided or remain half as compared to a somatic cell which is called Haploid (n). When two haploid cell meets than diploid (2n) cell formed which further transforms into a zygote. So, the purpose of meiosis is the cross over which creates genetic variation among individuals and reduced the number of chromosomes into the half. Because if the number of chromosomes remains the same as (2n) and (2n) meets and becomes 4n. Which is the wrong pattern so nature keeps this balance in a unique manner that (n) and (n) meets and form (2n).
