How does the cell membrane help cells maintain homeostasis

one way cells maintain homeostasis is by controlling the movement of substances across their cell membrane.

Why are organisms multicellular and unicellular

Unicellular would imply organisms that thrive as an individual as one cell, like bacterium (E. coli., amoeba). Multicellular would imply organisms that only live successfully as a whole group of cells (humans, fish).

What do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not

Membrane enclosed organelles

Why are organs made up of small cells instead of large cells

Organs are made up of small cells instead of large cells to allow the organs to be not easily harmed. This way if one cell dies or is attacked then the organ will not be damaged. If the cell was larger then the organ might not be able to recover.

Which structure is found in both plant and animal cells

Mitochondria or ribosome

What do bacteria have in common with the cells of other living organisms

They have ribosomes.They contain cytoplasm.

Some things bacteria have in common with cells of other living organisms is they both have chromosomes, they both have organelles and a nucleus, and are alive.

they have a cell membrane

What is the purpose of the specialized cells that produce strong odors from the corpse flower

Corpse flowers are pollinated by flies. The smell that is generated is used to attract the flies for pollination; much as nectar in other plants is used to attract bees and butterflies

Which best describes a difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes

What was Rudolph virchow trying to prove through his work

He was trying to prove all cells come form preexisting cells.

What was Rudolf Virchow trying to prove through his work

Spontaneous generation does not happen.

Why are embryonic stem cells useful for medicine

they are pluripotent

|APEX|

They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.

Which one is better for moving more nutrients in and out the cell surface or more volume

more volume decreases the surface area of the cell thus making the distance of transporting nutrients in and out of the cell less. so more volume is better

What do all cells have in common

They all Contain DNA

The area around a cell has a high concentration of sodium ions. as a result the cell membrane expands and bursts. which problem was the cell most likely having

The cell was unable to maintain a stable internal environment.

Look at the diagram below. Which best describes the structure labeled X in the diagram

A membrane protein is transporting substances. APEX
