What is not considered biomass? a Water b Corn C sugar cane D wood
Vitek1552 [10]
<span>The correct answer is A. water. That's because water's chemical composition is such that it can't be decomposed and turned into a fuel. Unlike Corn, sugar cane, and wood, it can't be used to power machines. The other ones are organic and can be used as biofuel, while wood can even be used in the form of coal as coal is nothing else than wood.I hope that my answer is helpful! Let me know if you need something more :)</span>

Triss [41]

Answer:

1. import and export of nutrients and wastes

2. cell signaling

3. cell recognition

4. cell growth and motility

There are membrane protein embedded in the plasma membrane which have different role. Some help in cell signaling like GPCR, some help in cell recognition and some act and transporter proteins.

The plasma membrane is also responsible for cell growth and motility because it allow the raw materials and signals to pass through it which is required by the cell to metabolize and grow. So 1,2,3,4 is the correct answer.
