Which of the following results would be more likely if a cell's membrane was no longer selectively permeable?

a. harmful substances can enter the cell and cause mutations in the cell's dna.
b. the cell would die because it could not regulate what substances could enter and leave.
c. a cell wall would form outside the membrane to protect the cell contents.
d. the cell would grow as more nutrients could easily enter the cell.

The correct answer is B  the cell  would die because it could not regulate what substance could enter or leave.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane of the cell is generally semipermeable in nature.In simple words  it means that plasma membrane only allow specific or selective substance to pass across itself.

  Plasma membrane generally allow non polar substances to pass through it but restrict the entry of polar substances and ions.

    But if the plasma losses its semipermesble nature then any molecule can enter the cell which is not needed or which can be toxic for the cell.

 As a result normal  cellular homeostasis is being hampered and the cell dies.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
