What happens to the ratio of surface area to volume as the cell increases without the without the cell changing shape

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lena [83]4 years ago
8 0
The important point is that the surface area<span> to the </span>volume ratio<span> gets smaller as the </span>cell<span> gets larger. Thus, if the </span>cellgrows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate theincreased cellular volume<span>. 

maybe this could help</span>

What happens when a piece of Mg ribbon is burnt? Name the
algol13

Answer:

When a Magnesium Ribbon is burnt, a powdery substance called magnesium oxide is formed.

Explanation:

There has obviously been a chemical change because several chemical properties of the magnesium have been modified:  the color, the texture and the mass.

The increase in mass is due to the fact that oxygen from the air has combined with the magnesium to make magnesium oxide, MgO.

The chemical equation, Mg + O2  MgO shows this reaction but it needs to be balanced to make 2Mg + O2  2MgO.  

Using stoichiometry, we can convert this eqation into an equation with moles:  

2 mol Mg + 1 mol O2  2 mol MgO.  

Next, we convert to grams using atomic masses obtained from the periodic table:

48g Mg + 32g O2  80g MgO

Lastly, we determine the same thing in the proportions we used.  In other words, we used only 0.15g of Mg (not 48g) so everything needs to be divided by 320.  So 80 / 320 = 0.25 g.  If we burn 0.15 g of Mg, we obtain 0.25 g of MgO.

Hope this helps!!!

This is my first answer.

Why reaction between phosphorus and oxygen produces four atoms of phosphorus and five atoms of oxygen
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Reaction between an oxygen and  a phosphorus will produce oxides of phosphorus.

Explanation:

Reaction between oxygen and phosphorus produces four atoms of phosphorus with five atoms of oxygen. Sometimes it produces two atoms of phosphorus and five atoms of oxygen and sometimes four atoms of phosphorus and six atoms of oxygen. It does so depending upon the availability of oxygen. The size of phosphorus atom  interferes with the ability to form a double bonds to the other elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, etc.
