Question
Urgent help needed
Watch the following movie clip from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. In this clip, Gandalf the Wizard stops the fire demon from passing across the stone bridge. Explain how this clip is similar to the role of the plasma membrane. Use as much detail (about the membrane, not the movie) to support your answer.

What does the egg white represent? what does the oil represent?arrow_forwardCan you label the cell structures of the plasma membrane using this picture example pleasearrow_forwardThe cytoplasm of a certain cell is composed of a solution that is 98% water, 2% solutes. Consider the solution shown in the beaker in this picture: FOOE OOS Foor solution. [Select] Cytoplasm is 98% water, 2% solutes. The solution in the beaker would be considered when compared to [Select] The plasma membrane is impermeable to solutes. Beaker solution is 98% water, 2% solutes the cell.

- Diffusion and Osmosis What is your prediction about the effect of molecular weight on rate of diffusion? What is your prediction about the effect of temperature on rate of diffusion?arrow_forwardLabel and define the following termsarrow_forwardPART D: CALCULATING THE ACTUAL SIZE OF A CELL. Once you know your microscope's diameter of the field of view, you can now calculate the actual size of your specimen. t you The ACTUAL SIZE of the specimen is the real size of the cell you are looking at. When you look at the cells through the microscope, the cells look very tiny. It is possible to determine the actual size of the cells you are looking at under LP.MP and HP. We will determine the actual size of a cell under HP. Step 1- Look at the cells under HP MAG. Step 2- Pick one cell you want to know the size of. Step 3- Imagine that this cell is placed along the left side of the field of view. (see example) Step 4-Estimate how many cels could fit across the field of view. 5- Record your answer Step 6- Use the formula below to calculate the actual size of your cell NOTE: Cells are very tiny therefore; the size of a cell is calculated in micrometers (um) and not mm. Cell size in (mm) ACTUAL SIZE OF CELL= HIGH POWERFOV.diameter of…arrow_forward

- There are 4 basic tissues in the human body. For each of the following organs/structures describe the location and function of at least three basic tissues found in them. Heart and stomach You have received GHS 1 million as a scientist to develop a vaccine for corona virus. You have been able to develop the vaccine but now the challenge is how the vaccine will enter the cells of the body when you inject it. From your knowledge of the structure of the cell membrane give and explain 2 features you can exploit in order for the vaccine to go across the cell membrane into the cell.arrow_forwardQuestion Completion Status: QUESTION 19 Which of the following structures is NOT a part of the plasma membrane?
