Measuring cell size has specific limitations

  • Exterior area to volume ratio
  • Nucleo cytoplasmic proportion
  • The fragility of cell membrane

The key element that limits the size of a cell is the ratio of its surface area to its volume.

<h3> What limits the sizes to which cells can grow? </h3>

One statement is that cell sizes are limited by surface-to-volume ratios. Cells that are too large in volume may be determined by the rate at which nutrients are taken up, which in turn is limited by the cell's membrane exterior area.

The limitations of cell size are:

1) Surface area to volume ratio

2) Nucleo cytoplasmic ratio

3) Fragility of cell membrane

What are the cause of limitations on cell size?

The need for a surface area of sufficient area to allow the cells function→.

→If the surface area of cell increase volume increase to the cube of the linear increase.

→ Nuclie contains information needed for protein synthesis . Some cells reduce this limitation to increase the no. Of nucleus called multinucleated.

Examples are muscle cells.

What happens to energy that is released from food, but not captured and store into<br> ATP?
nignag [31]

Answer:

In conditions of low or no oxygen the process of anaerobic respiration occurs. The 'an' in 'anaerobic' means without. During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete - not all of the energy can be released from the glucose molecule as it is only partially broken down.

<span>Primary endocrine disorders may be due to damage to the hormone producing organ. Karen’s thyroid gland suffered damage from repeated exposure to radiation because of a neck injury. The option which is least likely to be part of a primary endocrine disorder for Karen is decreased osteoblast sensitivity to calcitronin. </span>

kicyunya [14]
The biomolecule that would be the preferred dietary intake molecule the day before a long distance runner is scheduled to compete in an event is Carbohydrates. The answer is option B. Carbohydrates are considered as the base diet among athletes because it can give almost half of the energy needed especially in high intensity activities or sports. It is considered as a good fuel for athletes that can be easily replenished.

<h2>Transportation across the membrane</h2>

Explanation:

(a) Simple diffusion; Faciliated diffusion-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compounds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein whereas in case of facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement pf molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient
  • Both the diffusions does not require energy

(b) Facilitated diffusion; active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement of molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane

(c) Simple diffusion; Active transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move and Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compouds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein and energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane;secondary active transporters coupled with transportation of two solute molecules

(d) Direct active transport; Indirect active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient or its electrochemical potential

  • Direct active transport use direct energy such as ATP hydrolysis,oxidation and sunlight energy
  • Indirect active transport use indirect energy such as chemical gradient,electrochemical gradient established by direct active transporters;one solute moves along the concentration gradient while other moves against the concentration gradient

(e) Symport; Antiport-Direction in which two transported solutes move

  • In symport both the solute molecules move in same direction;coupled with primary active transport(direct transport)
  • In antiport both the solutes moves in opposite direction;coupled with secondary active transport(indirect transport)

(f) Uniport; coupled transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • Uniport is the transport of single solute across the membrane
  • Coupled transport is the transport of two solute molecules across the membrane;it may be symport or antiport

(g) P-type ATPase; V-type ATPase-Kinetics of solute transport

  • P-type ATPase always transport cations and undergoes phosphorylation
  • V-type ATPase(here V stands for vacuole) transport protons and no phosphorylation occurs;catalytic activity is not reversible
  • Both are types of primary active transporters
