The Pride of London 


The Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It's currently the tallest building in the world, standing at a height of 828 meters (2,722 feet). The tower has 163 floors, with two additional floors underground. It was officially opened on January 4, 2010.


Designed by Adrian Smith of the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the Burj Khalifa's design draws inspiration from Islamic architecture and is meant to resemble a desert flower. It's part of the larger development known as Downtown Dubai and serves as a mixed-use building with residential, commercial, and hotel spaces.


The tower's construction involved advanced engineering techniques, including the use of reinforced concrete and a system of bundled tubes that help distribute the building's weight and resist wind forces. The exterior of the Burj Khalifa is covered in a specially designed reflective glass curtain wall.


The building features several observation decks, including the popular "At The Top" observation deck on the 148th floor, offering breathtaking views of the city and beyond. The Burj Khalifa is home to a number of luxury residences, corporate suites, and the Armani Hotel Dubai.


The tower has received numerous awards and recognition for its architectural and engineering achievements. It has become an iconic symbol of Dubai and a major tourist attraction.

 ## General Physiology ### Long Answer Questions 1. **Transport Mechanisms Across the Cell Membrane**    The cell membrane, or plasma membrane, is a dynamic structure that plays a crucial role in controlling the movement of substances in and out of cells. The various mechanisms of transport include:    - **Passive Transport**:      - **Simple Diffusion**: Molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration directly through the lipid bilayer. This process does not require energy. Examples include the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.      - **Facilitated Diffusion**: Utilizes specific transport proteins to move substances down their concentration gradient. These proteins include channel proteins and carrier proteins. An example is the glucose transport into cells.      - **Osmosis**: A specific type of passive transport involving the movement of water molecules through a selectiv...
