As a cell grows larger and accumulates more contents, will it need more or less cell membrane to survive?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As the plasma membrane grows and accumulates more contents it will require more cell membrane to survive.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is functionally significant layer that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell.Plasma membrane performs many important cellular functions.For example transport of specific substance in and out of the cell,contain various protein that act as receptor,the oligosaccharide side chain of the glycoprotein moiety present within the plasma membrane recognizes various bio active compounds.

    When a cell grow it increases in size beside increasing its cellular constituents.To surround or protect these cellular constituents more plasma membrane should be need by the cell for its survival.

A theoretical protein, blue2, is coded for by the blu2 gene. This protein codes for a blue pigment used by the organism to prote
Reika [66]
The question is:
What may be observed as a result of the described mutation in an individual? 

<span>1) Skin cancer due to UV rays </span>
<span>2) Darker blue pigmentation </span>
<span>3) A lack of alterase for other functions it may serve </span>
<span>4) The release of a different pigment color

The correct answer is B.
In this theoretical molecular cascade, we have three key parts, the blue2 gene, the blue2 operator and the enzyme alterase.
The enzyme alterase stops the expression of the blue2 gene by binding  to its operator, and therefore the blue pigment protein.
The blue2 operator has a specific binding spot for alterase. If this binding spot is changed due to a conformational change, the alterase would not be able to bind to the operator and the blue2 gene could express undisturbedly, resulting in increased concentration of the blue pigment protein.</span>

The essential molecule __________ comprises over 60 percent of any living organism's cells.
Debora [2.8K]
The essential molecule that comprises an average of 60% of any living organisms' cells is water. Water is a molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water is an essential part that makes up the matrix of the inside and outside membranes of, for example, tissues in the human body. Water, to a certain degree, also helps maintain balance of electrolytes and solutes that go in and out of the cell. It also maintains hydrostatic pressure in the circulatory system of the body via the balance of Starling Forces. These are just a few examples of the importance of water and hence why living things need so much of them. This is also why water is one of the first things astronauts look for in planets to determine if life is possible there or if there was life before.

Other important elements that make living things are nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca). To serve as a reference point, we can look at the human body. The amount of nitrogen (N) in the body is about 3.2%. Calcium (Ca) on the other hand, is about 1.5%
