The plasma membrane found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is composed of a/an , which is semipermeable and controls the flow of molecules into and out of the cell.

the answer is a phospholipid bilayer

it's called phospholipid because it's made of a group of lipids that has a phosphate group and bilayer because it's made of hydrophilic heads that are exposed to the solution and hydrophobic tails that are directed inwards

the answer is yes, they are born/created, then they grow to their limit then produce offspring, then die.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
