Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Cell membrane

Explanation:

Cell membrane or plasma membrane is the outermost layer of the cell of the animal kingdom which is composed of the phospholipids.

The phospholipid layer protects the inner environment of the cell from the outer environment as well as it allows the movement of the solute and water through specialised proteins embedded in the layer.

Since, the proteins of the cell membrane like aquaporin allow the passive movement of the water through osmosis therefore, the damage to the cell membrane will affect the water balance of the cell.

Thus, the cell membrane is the correct answer.

The bulk of carbon dioxide is carried chemically combined with the amino acids of hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin in the RBCs.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: True

Explanation:Carbon dioxide is transported is transfer in 3 basic ways to human cells.

About 20 % of C0 2 is transported as Carbaminohemoglobin to reach the lungs carbon dioxide binds directly to the amino acid moieties on the globin portions of the haemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin. This is a reversible reaction as shown below.

                                        CO2 + Hb ↔ HbCO2.

The reversible binding of C02 to the haemoglobin is due to the   the partial pressure of carbondioxde. In  the  lungs the partial pressure of C02 is low. Therefore C02 is unbounded from the HB and leaves in the lungs, thus the blood   leaving the lungs for the body tissues has low partial pressure C02. Compare to the blood in the tissues with high partial pressure of C02 from metabolic activities of cellular respiration. The C02 therefore diffuses from the tissues to bind with HB to form Carbaminoheamologbin.

In addition C02 is transported by other means.

1. As bicarbonate 70% of the Co2 in the blood is transported and  bicarbonate buffer.

              CO2 + H2O CA ↔ H2CO3↔H+ + HCO3

2, As  soluble carbon dioxide which  dissolves directly  in to the blood stream; this is about 7-10%

Contrast the different ways bromeliads and pitcher plants acquire nutrients from animal sources. NOT COMPARE.
dezoksy [38]
<span>Bromeliads are an example of mutualism where they create mini-ecosystems that house other small animals by collecting rainwater in their leaves. The bromeliad benefits from the nutrients when these organisms decompose when they die. Unlike the Pitcher plants which are predators, they actively trap insects and other small animals in their pitchers.
