EXPLAIN how membranes participate in 3 of the following biological processes (1)

1. Muscle contraction- Motor neuron or axon terminal releases neurotransmitter or acetylcholine ACh (idk what this is y'all); ACh binds to receptors; Depolarization or Na+ moves in through membrane channels or depolarizes; Depolarization changes permeability of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) or Ca2+ released from SR; Ca2+ active transport into SR; Repolarization or maintenance of membrane potential (Na+/K+ pump); Smooth or cardiac muscle gap junctions directly transfer membrane potential between cells.

Explain why there is a difference in percent of mass change of the egg in the different sucrose solutions

1— Egg gains mass if solute concentration is lower outside of egg (hypotonic) causing water to move into egg 1— Egg loses mass if solute concentration is higher outside of egg (hypertonic) causing water to move out of egg 1— Water moves from low solute/high water concentration to high solute/low water concentration

Dialysis tubing is permeable to water molecules but not to sucrose. Four dialysis tubes are half filled with 5 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent, and 40 percent sucrose solutions, respectively, and two dialysis tubes are half filled with distilled water. The dialysis tubes are all sealed at both ends, and the initial masses are determined. Five dialysis tubes are placed into beakers containing distilled water, and the sixth dialysis tube, containing distilled water, is placed into a 40 percent sucrose solution. The masses of the dialysis tubes are recorded at 30-minute intervals for 90 minutes, as shown in the table below.

evaluate the hypothesis that cells shaped like rectangular solids 1 and 2 are better suited for slow metabolism and the long‑term storage of energy‑containing molecules than are cells shaped like rectangular solids 4 and 5.

A cell's surface area to volume ratio limits the cell size. It is proven that cells with smaller sizes are more effective and have long-term storage of energy in comparison to large cells. Cells shaped 1 and 2 have a smaller surface area to volume ratio that supports long‑term storage of energy and is better in slow metabolism than rectangular solids 4 and 5. Hence, because of the smaller surface area to volume ratio 1 and 2 cells has better functions.

DESCRIBE the relationship between the dimensions of the rectangular solids and their SA-V ratios

As cells increase in size, the surface area and volume do not usually increase proportionally to length. The greater the diameter of a single-celled organism, the lower the surface area to volume ratio. It is this relationship that restricts the size of a particular cell. Cells must be able to take up and eliminate substances rapidly and efficiently. They must also be able to distribute substances throughout the cell. Most of this distribution occurs by diffusion, which is relatively slow and dependent on random molecular motion.
