Cellular communication is the function of the plasma membrane that allows it to respond to certain stimuli from outside the cell and hormones to bind to receptors.

<h3>What is plasma membrane?</h3>

It is a double layer of lipids that covers and delimits the cells, serving as a border between the inside and the outside of the cell, and also allowing a physicochemical balance.

<h3>Characteristics of plasma membrane</h3>

Enables the development of compartments; allows or rejects the entry and/or exit of particles; acts as a mechanical defense; and reacts to external signals and stimuli.

It reacts and transmits information inside the cell, starting certain biochemical processes: cell division, cell movement or the segregation of biochemical substances.

Therefore, we can conclude that the main characteristic of the plasma membrane, that is, its ability to allow or reject the entry of certain molecules into the cell.

What is the role of environmental factors, such as altitude and heat, in very long-distance run or other performances lasting on
Vitek1552 [10]

The role of  environmental factors in very long-distance run or other performances is that the longer the performance, the greater the chance that environmental factors play a role in the result and is a limiting factor.

<h3>What is Energy?</h3>

This is referred to as the ability or the capacity to do work and examples include the following: potential, chemical energy etc.

The longer the performance, the greater the chance that environmental factors play a role in the outcome and they become limiting in terms of energy production because they are able to restrict or influence certain activities needed for its generation.

A human rbc is approximately 8 µm in diameter. an unknown bacterium measures 1 ocular space using the oil immersion objective co
galina1969 [7]
A)
size = (number of minor spaces x 10μm) / number of ocular spaces
       = (2 x 10) / 1
       = 20μm

b)Since the RBC has a size of 8μm and the bacterium 20μm, the bacteria is bigger. The Bacterium is bigger than the RBC by 20μm / 8μm
Hence the bacterium is 2.5 times bigger than the RBC.
