Water molecules can pass into a cell, while larger molecules cannot. Which feature of a cell allows this to be true?

Answers

The selective permeability of a cells membrane determine what size and type of molecules can enter or not. If a molecule has a charge and the membrane has a neutral charge the molecule has a harder time diffusing through. The differences in charge affect permeability through a cell membrane.

The cell has a semi-permeable membrane that allows water molecules to pass in a cell while larger molecules cannot. Lipid bilayer is an example of a biological semi-permeable membrane. The diffusion of water is called osmosis. Solutes such as salt and other contaminants are filtered.

What is a flower part that elevates the stigma

Answers

The part of the flower that elevates the stigma is called the style. It is located in the middle part of the flower and is designed to elevate the stigma of the flower to increase the chance of the pollen to land on it. In some other cases, the style also elevates the stigma farther from the ovary of the flower to avoid contamination.
