-why is respiration important for a cell?
Grace [21]
Respiration is how animal cells get their energy to preform their necessary functions. Plant cells don't use respiration, because they use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis turns light into energy.

Tid-bit of info:
Cellular Respiration Formula:
Sugar + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water <span>+ ATP </span>
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = CO₂ + H₂O <span>+ ATP </span>
Photosynthesis Formula: 
Sunlight + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen + Sugar
Sunlight + H₂O + CO₂ = O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Changes in membrane potential serve as signals to cells within the body – and can often be a drug target in the treatment of man
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

    The membrane is actually semi-permeable.

Explanation:

    The membrane being semi-permeable means that, not all the things come in and out of the cell, only if it's really needed. The cell works in a gradient way, and that means that, to balance things, the cell will put in it a substance in a very high concentration outside of it, just to balance things. And this would happen to potassium, the cell would put it inside to balance this gradient, and once all sides have the same amount of potassium, it will stop, and the gradient is finally equal.

dsp73

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The meninges are the membranous tissues that cover the spinal cord and the brain, providing support and protection to these organs. They are of three layers.

A) The Dura mater

B) The arachnoid mater

C) The pia mater

The Dura is the outermost meningeal layer and lies directly under the vertebral column bones and skull. The subdural space is the space between the Dura mater and the Arachnoid mater.

The Arachnoid mater lies in the middle of the Dura and Pia mater. Under the Arachnoid layer is the subarachnoid space which contains the cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid acts as a shock absorber and a cushion to the brain and spinal cord.

The Pia mater lies under the subarachnoid space and directly on the spinal cord and brain and is highly vascularised.

Why doesnt your dna look like the double helix model that Watson &amp; Crick discovered?
LenKa [72]
<span>Everyone’s DNA are different because they are different people. One part of DNA are your genes. The genes are what you look like, hair color, eye color, everything that you can get from your parents. Even if you have a twin, it’s not necessary that you two would have the same genes. For example, one could have green eyes and the other could have brown eyes.
