How would having a large surface area to volume ratio affect diffusion rates of a cell?

Ronch [10]4 years ago

Surface area to volume ratio, in simple means the size of surface area to the volume of substance that can pass through it at a particular time.

Amoeba and some bacteria are flat and have large surface area to volume ratio. So the diffusion rate is very high due to large surface area.

Where as humans have small surface area: volume so diffusion is very slow or does not take place at all.

Answer:

the larger the surface area to volume ratio the greater the rate of diffusion

the smaller the surface area to volume ratio the smaller the rate of diffusion

notka56 [123]

Answer:

adenine pairs with Thymine  and guanine always pairs with cytosine respectively

Explanation:

In DNA nucleotide subunits, there are four nitrogenous bases:

  •    Adenine (A)
  •    Thymine (T)
  •    Cytosine (C)
  •    Guanine (G)

Each of these bases can be divided into two categories: purine bases and pyrimidine bases.

Adenine and guanine are examples of purine bases. This means their structure is a nitrogen-containing six atom ring joined with a nitrogen-containing five atom ring that share two atoms to combine the two rings.

Thymine and cytosine are examples of pyrimidine bases.

Note that  RNA replaces thymine with a different pyrimidine base called uracil (U).

The complementary base pairing rule, Chargaff's rule states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G). A purine always pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa. However, A doesn't pair with C, despite that being a purine and a pyrimidine.
