Question 9
Brief Explanations
- Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules (causing the dome as molecules stick together). Adhesion is attraction between water and other substances (the waxed car surface). The droplets cling (adhesion) and form a dome (cohesion), so it's both.
Brief Explanations
- The plasma membrane is selectively permeable: it allows certain substances (like small molecules, gases) to pass while blocking others (like large or unwanted particles). A screen door allows breezes/aromas (small "substances") and blocks insects (larger, unwanted), similar to the plasma membrane's function. The ER lumen is a space in the ER, a ribosome makes proteins, and cytosol is cell fluid—none match this selective permeability like the plasma membrane.
