Leno4ka [110]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cells are so little, so they can maximize their ratio of surface area to volume.

Explanation:

Smaller cells have a higher ratio which allows more molecules and ions to move across the cell membrane per unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.

Which factor allows earth to hold onto liquid water?
vesna_86 [32]
I think the correct answer would be strong gravity. The factor that allows the earth to hold onto water would be the strong gravitational pull of the earth. In fact, it is what holds everything onto earth not only water. Hope this answers the question.

What is Mrsa, why does it pose serious health risk especially for health care professional, and how is antibiotic resistance an
STALIN [3.7K]
Oh I love this question. "MRSA" or "Mithicillin resistant staphylococcus aeues" is bacterial infection.

MRSA is unique to bacteria for it's ability to replicate and maintain homeostasis even when an antibiotic in introduces to destroy it. This resistance can have dangerous consequences usually mainly due to the requirement of needing aggressive in hospital treatment, its tendency to spread fast, and its ability to hit you so hard you could go into Sepsis. Its additionally dangerous because it's prevalent in the hospital.

While many people like to blame doctores for, "over prescribing" of antibiotics the fault doesn't't rest with a provider. In regards to evolution when a person is sick with a a common staphy infection people are prescribed antibiotic. The patient is required and usually specifically told to take the full course. The reason why is because the bacteria that would cause MRSA would still not have developed but are still alive following a treatment... However they gain the ability to become antibiotic resistant if the full course of antibiotics are not followed to a "T".
