How has waste leaving a cell affected its surface area to volume ratio?

Biology
1 answer:
lapo4ka [179]3 years ago
6 0

The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and as volume increases, surface area to volume ratio decreases. The larger a cell, the less easily it can get rid of waste and it also has more trouble getting water, nutrients and gases in. That is why we do not see giant cells. Instead we see multiple cells in larger organisms.  

One way to increase surface area is to flatten the cell. That is why red blood cells are flat discs, instead of spheres. Another way is elongation. That is why many bacteria are rod shaped, and why neurons are elongated. In fact, the human body relies on the same principle to adapt to climate. Long tall and lean folks with long arms and legs live in East Africa, because such shapes increase surface area to get rid of excess body heat to avoid heat strokes. Europeans and Asians adapted to cold climates, in contrast, have shorter arms and legs and rounder torsos to minimize surface area. to conserve body heat.

1. If a red flower (RR) and a white flower (rr) were crossbred, resulting in 100% Rr, what phenotypes would be seen according to
Digiron [165]

Answer: 1) The phenotype of Rr is Pink according to incomplete dominance.

Incomple dominance occurs when none of the alleles is completely dominant over the other, resulting in blending of the phenotype from the parents. When a red (RR) and a white flower (rr) are crossbred, they result in Rr that is a pink phenotype.


2) According to Codominance, the phenotype of Rr is Red and White flower.

Codominance occurs when both the alleles are equally expressed. In this case allele for Red (R) and white (r) phenotype are expressed equally giving Red and White flower.


3) In Codominance, both the alleles are visible in the hybrid and in Incomplete dominance, intermediate (blend of parental) phenotype is visible in the hybrid.

Please help!! I'm not sure what they want me to answer
Blizzard [7]
A HEV has an engine that uses electric power as well as gasoline to move. When using the electric motor, there are no CO2 emission from the car. So the overall emission should be lower on a HEV than on a purely gasoline car, since you can choose to only use electric power.
