If you were stranded in an island, which would you drink, rain
water or seawater. If I were left on an island and had to choose between the two types of water, I would drink the rainwater since we all know that the taste of seawater is salty, which can make individuals thirstier than they already are. We also know that sea water is dangerous to humans since it contains various minerals and may come into contact with impurities such as animal excrement, which can harm people and infect them. Rainwater is thus safer to drink and use because we are responsible for collecting and storing it in a safe and clean manner; however, we must keep in mind that rainwater is not always safe to drink.
2. Why is the cell membrane described as a fluid-mosaic
- From my perspective and based on what I've seen so far in the videos, it's usually referred to or characterized as a "fluid mosaic" since there are so many different sorts of molecules that float along the phospholipids. Because of the molecules that make up the cell membrane, we know that phospholipids are not fixed in terms of positioning, and they migrate and exchange positions. As an example, we know that a cell membrane is fluid, as evidenced by the two proteins inside that move around, and that it is mosaic in composition, as it is containing proteins in a variety of patterns and forms, including membrane sizes. 3. Differences and Similarites - Endocytosis and exocytosis are equal in terms of solid substance transportation techniques , in that they both use vesicles to transport large molecules across the membrane and both require and demand energy. However, there are distinctions between these two when it comes to their functions and applications within the cells. Exocytosis is the instinctive reflex of solid materials out of a cell's cytoplasm via vesicles, whereas endocytosis is the active movement of bulk materials into a cell's cytoplasm via vesicles. In a nutshell, endocytosis transports materials, sometimes known as minerals, into the cell, whereas exocytosis transports them out. Furthermore, when it comes to size, endocytosis reduces the size of the cell membrane, but exocytosis accomplishes the opposite, which is to increase its size. Finally, the vesicle is created in the Golgi apparatus and then bonds with the membrane in exocytosis, whereas the vesicle is formed from the cell membrane and then enters the cytoplasm in endocytosis.
